Uhhhhhh.....okay. I admit it. I can’t tell if this is satire or not.

That’s what I was thinking... The Los Angeles Times in California put this in the paper?

From article

The continued tenure of a treasury secretary who couldn't file his own accurate income taxes before being appointed should only help further.

..truth mixed with a view into progressive logic?

I think a lot of the article is more tongue-in-cheek, rather than satire.

Yeah...I know what you mean. Is this satire? I can’t tell — after all, it’s coming from the LA Times.

But then again, I never heard of the author, because I never read the paper any more — and I’m a guy who used to read the morning AND afternoon editions back in the 70s and 80s.

So the idea that this may not be satire puts a strain on my cognitive dissonance.

But maybe...just maybe...

It’s got my vote for “article of the day.”

The part that is satire is the claim that he boosted the debt by $3 trillion. The number is actually $4 trillion according to the Treasury Direct debt calculator.
