KB Sez<p>Trump Family’s Cash Registers Ring as Financial Meltdown Plays Out
...
Every room at the 643-room Trump Doral, including the $13,000-a-night presidential suite, was sold out through the weekend. Not a seat could be found at the BLT Prime steakhouse bar, where a porterhouse steak cost $130.

Very bad ways include bribing your way to power, per Musk &amp; friends. Of the good ways we could try, I think that Mario Cuomo, many many years ago, had a bright idea. Every citizen’s tax return would automatically be charged a fee of $2.00, toward financing the election. The candidates of the 2 major parties would divide that money, to be the ONLY money they had to use for their campaign. Why not?</p>
