CRP ground is for making sure to market doesn't get flooded with a huge surplus of crops. Keeping prices stable yet high enough to pay for planting  and harvest.

It also promotes wildlife habitat

Down here many years back a prized add on to figure in on land purchase was how big was the tobacco allotment. Nobody down here grows tobacco anymore.  Now all the tobacco barns are rotting away.  The big tobacco warehouses and auction sites are now crumbling or cheap storage areas.

Great Job Vraciu... I'm sure Hombre would be proud of his own colors 

Thanks, ZE.   I'm pretty certain he flew it not long after it came out.  I think he got a chuckle out of it.  As you knew, he swapped schemes regularly, so I'm sure he flew them all at one time or another.

Somebody should use AI to insert the Star Fleet uniforms that debuted in Wrath of Khan over the glittery pajamas used in The Motion Picture.

Maybe then that film will get some respect.

They were referred to as the penguin suits.  They were part of the changes in Star Trek Phase 2 before that little independent film in the summer of '77 changed everything.  They learned their lessons.

And put a wig on that chick.

Bald women are sexy.  You have 2 choices in women.  One with long, straight, and beautiful hair or be on time for the other woman.  The sexiest thing a bald woman can say to you is, "Hurry up, Princess.  We're going to be late!"

The biggest mistake people have made through the decades is recognizing corruption in the "system" and thinking greater power to the government will arrest and control that. It never works.

They're too uneducated and lazy to understand that they could control it. By voting. They always want and expect someone to do it for them.

Cheap money inflates the market and causes inflation...but the gov 38 trillion screams for more

Our leaders/thieves have enriched themselves enough not to be bothered by inflation hikes as it bumps up their holdings..

They need the market to be the only place your money might grow faster than 5% to keep it artificially high based off nothing but cheaper and cheaper money..oh yeah and the AI bubble b4 it bursts..

Nope. Low interest rates do not cause inflation.

Government spending, borrowing, excess debt, and printing do.


The elected clowns only care about the market at all because some people think it's the sole determiner of the health of the economy, and because a large number of them are heavily invested in insider trading. They're neither smart enough nor unified enough to create some scheme or plot to drive people to invest in the market.

As far as it goes, I can't remember when anything other than investment returned more than 5%. Bonds and savings accounts haven't in the last 40-50 years.

How's it a leap?

Our ignorant leaders continue to devalue the dollar opening the door for its collapse..

We best keep flexing our military might down south and show the news footage of Hussain and Muammar Gaddafi demise to entice our allies to continue to be our friends..

The massive, glaring, fatal flaw in your premise is that both inflation, and high interest rates, and the attending uncertainty, are hurting the market, not artificially inflating it.


We don't have "leaders", as a rule, most of them are simply thieves, elected by people who want them to steal from others, and give to them. There's an overwhelming number of parasites in the constituency, who feel entitled to be supported and subsidized by those who are willing to work, earn, save, and invest. And there's a similarly overwhelming number of elected thieves all too willing to steal, for themselves and the fools who elect them. As long as the stealing produces a suitable bounty, and there are enough of those parasites willing to support it, it will continue.
