J: “No serious discussion of invoking the 25th Amendment.”
K: “No serious discussion of much of anything.”
J: “Propaganda, subterfuge, sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors, deceit, deception, and dishonesty.”

Fuel prices have become a political lightning rod, even though they’re only one piece of a family’s budget. Meanwhile, almost every other price is quietly creeping higher.”
K: “We’re still waiting for what seems like an inevitable—if unenviable—economic reckoning. Then again, I’ve been expecting it for sixteen years, so my timing hasn’t exactly inspired confidence.”
