  1. Apparently $5000 checks to all Americans would cost the federal budget $1.3b. So that means that every $250b that the government spends is about $1000 that they could otherwise reduce your taxes by. I think that without that understanding, it's hard to care when you hear about increased defense spending etc.

    $1b in federal spending equals about $4 in taxes.

  15. When “National Security” Becomes a Weapon Against Social Security by Lawson Akhigbe

    There is an old British political habit which deserves rather more scrutiny than it usually receives: when governments want the public to accept an uncomfortable policy, they wrap it in the Union Jack and call it national security.

  19. Silence is Golden (Especially When It’s About Your Land) by Lawson Akhigbe

    In most functional societies, those quaint places where governments occasionally remember they exist to serve rather than to frustrate, when a citizen submits an application requiring official action, a few basic courtesies are observed.

The machinery of state, however rusty, at least coughs to confirm it has received your papers.
