When an interest group representing teachers lobbies a state legislature for an increase in retirement benefits, it is seeking to provide its members with benefits.
In a short period of temporary insanity, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Fed, dons a Santa Claus suit the day after Thanksgiving and stuffs a toy bag full of brand new, never before circulated crisp $100 bills. He rents a helicopter and instructs the pilot to fly as low as possible over the streets of Washington, D.C. Hanging out the side of the helicopter, he slowly dumps the bag containing a total of $100 million to the cheering crowds gathering below. He simply yells “Happy Black Friday shopping to all and to all a rich night!”
