Article I, Section 8. The Congress taxes, creates money and debt, which it pays. Historically, bonds were issued for project specifics, but they were instruments of Congress, and so not the Executive Branch. Congress further declares war, which it pays for. The Executive Branch does not.
Any resemblance of any of that to recent current events, anyone knows, is purely coincidental. The White House runs amok--the current one not so much in national or world affairs, but amok(?). The Congress uses the Debt Ceiling as a political event. The White House needed to fund relief efforts last week, and likely next week. The Republicans were not much into that(?). Now they head into the regular election cycle looking especially bogus--soon to be thought, "Running Amok!"
"Dreamers" will be running for the various borders, even. Congress has other authority, too.
I myself am the same age as Bill Clinton, separated at birth(?), about thirty days. Before it was joke, there were people who wondered if Clinton was actually to be regarded the first African American elected President. My own heritage is Southern Patrician, also Penn Quakers, 1683 time-frame. There are photocopies of my ancestry before there was any such thing, even an idea. Trump is also our age, and equally "Hippie" about it.
Jesus ben Joseph, Son of Mary, called, "Oh Christ," was likely not descended of a deity, there being no such thing other than in fiction and mythology. Humans emerged from the primordial self-service paradise: Easily said into a civilization with a stable food supply, reliant on farming. Mainly the deity, did inhale(?). The Sumer might loan three bags of barley. That would be repaid with four, later on. That was the first "Usury," now called, "Interest rates." Community was created, and as my generation might tell it: With enough left over to even invent barley beer.
Humans were not good at math. Code of Hammurabi would eventually allow Daddy-O to sell the wife and kids into slavery--Like the recent Big O might have done--for relief from unpaid bills. End of Aggravation happened. A primitive welfare state happened. The indentured were housed, clothed, fed, taught, employed. . .and commune stuff. A Charles Manson follower was finally paroled, just yesterday.
Moses became a Great Subjugator, likely with some nature of similar fondness for slave women. He pillaged, murdered, raped, enslaved, denigrated, conquered, abused, insulted, and maybe had blond hair done daily, with Egyptian Doo Goo of some type. Out of that originates Western Religion, noted but not explained in Acts: 7. Usury was banned in Israel, (Deut 23:19-20), but allowed for purposes of subjugation and conquest. Not so-stated, some call that the origins of "Holocaust." Debt should also be the subject.
So Greeks were prized as slaves, even over Nubians and Ethiopians, the coloreds of the time. Two stories appear in the Matthew text hallucination, even centuries later. Matthew 25:14-30 is about math, usury. A giant Las Vegas foreclosure crisis is envisioned. In Matthew 20:1-16, the Obama Stimulus arithmetic measure is proposed. A not so-stated, "Refundable Tax Amount, $400 per," was payable: Regardless if the taxpayer had worked all the year or not, and even with zero income tax liability, or zero refund eligibility.
Similar arithmetic in the 1986 tax reform, and the Clinton equal amount per child tax credit--mainly threw people off the tax rolls. Mostly they were lower and lower middle income. The Republicans didn't notice. The Bush II Tax cuts didn't work. $1.0 tril. was spent on continuing atrocities in Afghanistan and Iraq. . .and on to Syria.
Out of misunderstanding Matthew 25:14-30, and Matthew 20:1-16: There is a need for public debt. The lower income part of the market has no money. To keep the rich prosperous, there arose famous Gay Economist, Keynes: Essentially, "Who Bade the People Bend Over. . .And even await the coming. . .of the Public Works!
Larry Flynt would be led to open a Casino, "Lucky Lady," in Gardena, CA. Mohammed The Prophet, had taken no such notice. Adam Smith, the Presbyter, had taken no notice. Karl Marx, the Revolutionary, had taken no notice. Israel, today: Has taken no notice.
