    According to Congressional Budget Office data released earlier this year, interest payments on the national debt amounted to $475 billion in fiscal year 2022. That translates to about $1.3 billion per day and approximately $54.2 million per hour.

    The classic way of getting out of debt is earning money and paying it off. John Larkin doesn't seem to understand that approach.

    It's amazing what morons are ruining our economy, economists and politicians. The forced zero interest rate thing was insane.

    Sadly, John Larkin was perfectly happy when a moronic lunatic - Donald Trump - was wrecking the US economy because Trump did bribe John Larkin's bit of the economy at everybody else's expense.

    John Larkin prefers the morons who wreck the US economy in ways that leave him better off - for a bit.

    Strange thing for a Dutch person to say. They have a long history of emplodering marshes and areas just off-shore and farming the recovered land.

    Or grabbing other people's deposits, their land... create more wars and sell weapons to all sides as the US does.

    Really? They aren't selling weapons to Russia or Hamas.

    The reason that does not work so well is that people rather buy nice cheap stuff from China than get enlisted to get killed in the US Military Complex's wars.

    China has enough of its own cannon -fodder. They do have to steal high technology from other people.

    This is what Biden and his democrat followers up are planning to do.

    According to Jan Panteltje, who has some very silly delusions.

    Now he is going to 'talk to Xi'

    So a China US war on top of the 2 we already have now during the democrat's reign?

    Seems unlikely. That would be WW3, and it wouldn't take long, or leave much standing.

    It's amazing what morons are ruining our economy, economists and politicians. The forced zero interest rate thing was insane.

    John Larkin doesn't object to morons as such - he though that Donald Trump had "common sense". He just want morons who share his moronic delusions.

    US IQ is falling ever more. Next generation will go back to living CO2 free (not) in wigwams.

    The Flynn Effect says that it isn't, not that it matters since what IQ tests is your capacity to be spoon fed knowledge in school.

    When the schools are as bad as they are in the US, a high IQ means that you will believe the nonsense that you are being taught. Jphn Larkin wasn't taught climate change denial in school, but he lapped it up anyway. It pretends to be authoritative, and
    he doesn't know enough to recognise it as nonsense. Neither does Jan.

    You didn't read what I wrote - or maybe didn't understand it. You don't seem to be very bright.

    IQ tests measure your capacity to do well as school and that does mean not disagreeing with the nonsense that teachers present to their students from time to time.

    IQ tests do claim to test reasoning ability, but that's incidental to their main job. which does seem to be measuring your tolerance for being spoon-fed, and doing what you are told to do. Clever people do understand what IQ tests are about and
    frequently do well on them, but that doesn't validate the tests.

    You didn't read what I wrote - or maybe didn't understand it. You don't seem to be very bright.

    inorrect on both counts

    IQ tests measure your capacity to do well as school

    not exactly. If we disregard other essential factors for now, high iq students can go in more than one direction. One is learning what they're taught, but that only works reliably upto a point. At high iq a student soon figures out they're being fed bs
    that doesn't make sense. Some play the game, learn & regurgitate, some learn some material & reject some, & some decide the whole enterprise is bs & they can do better putting their energy elsewhere.

    and that does mean not disagreeing with the nonsense that teachers present to their students from time to time.

    IQ tests do claim to test reasoning ability, but that's incidental to their main job. which does seem to be measuring your tolerance for being spoon-fed, and doing what you are told to do.

    that's only true within limits. At the high end that's not what iq is about. The concept of 'gifted at risk' is nothing new.

    Clever people do understand what IQ tests are about and frequently do well on them, but that doesn't validate the tests.

    The virtue of an IQ test is that you can put a lot of people through it without investing a lot of attention into everybody being tested.

    If you want to claim that some individual is gifted you have to spend quite a lot of time on them to find out where their gifts lie and quite how gifted they are.
    IQ testing is much faster and cheaper.

    The relationship is nothing like linear at the top end.

    I know that you haven't boasted about them here, and what you do boast about is pretty trivial. In this context, absence of evidenc is pretty damning.,

    They don't work the way they were designed to for clever people - who go through the whole test and solve all the easy problems then tackle the trickier ones in order of trickiness.

    They were never designed to be "linear" - since the results are always transformed so that the IQ's sampled end up as a bell curve, linearity was never on offer.
