At least the people who 'don't know' are consistent, and are also not affiliated by neck tie colour with either side of the US duopoly.

If government bond sales are not used for government purchases (true again) then what are they for?

Like tax, to remove currency from circulation (see above)

Also to provide wealthy people with an interest bearing investment of the very highest security

If taxes are not used for government purchases (true) then what is taxation used for?

Not for any re-use

Removing currency from circulation so it will not compete with government purchases & cause inflation

Can also be used to modify inequity, or in current case, cause inequity

Albo waves his green Medicare card in the air, proclaiming free universal healthcare.

But if you try to see a specialist at a public hospital clinic, waiting lists are often a year and a half long.

That's not healthcare.
That's neglect.

“The stock currently being built in Australian cities isn’t yet diverse enough to house people at all stages of the family lifecycle, and at all affordability levels.” #housing #AffordableHousing #AusPol

The government wants more of us living in high rises. Here’s why Australians don’t want to

Governments have been pushing the construction of apartment towers for years to help housing affordability and availability, but people don’t want to live in them.

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules

After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Moments after they shot his 19-year-old daughter, Diana, San Jose police rushed Jim Showman to an interrogation room, isolated him from his ex-wife, and questioned him for 27 minutes before revealing they'd killed her.

California has finally banned the practice.

California cops can no longer conceal police killings while interrogating loved ones for dirt

A Reveal investigation helped spark a crackdown on a disturbing, widespread practice.
