    So if you print a trillion dollars and pump it in the economy the resulting inflation will indicate economic growth? I must be misunderstanding you.

    Harris skipping Netanyahu's address to congress has to be the most shameful behavior I've seen an American official. I'm embarrassed for her and for us.

    The Israelis chose partition in 1947. The Palestinians chose war instead, and have chosen war ever since. They are the authors of their own calamity.
