I love it that you think the government, you know, you saying you'd be daft not to do that.

Be less daft?

Yeah, well, true.

You can think a little bit, but it's very rare to get something that has almost no downside.

I mean, I don't, I mean, because even if people start saying, oh, it's a tax bung for the rich, it's like, well, but wait a minute, the rich are being, you know, we could call them patriotic bonds or something like that.

I mean, it's not, it feels like a kind of a no brainer, I must admit.

Yeah.

Patriotic bonds, just not war bonds, eh?

Thanks, John.

Thanks, Mel.

See you next week with another Three Topics.

And I'm John Stevick, senior reporter for Bloomberg and author of the Money Distilled newsletter.

Another emergency podcast is like my birthday.

Did you press the back signal for an emergency podcast for the Merm Talks Money Show?

Excellent.

That's what I like to hear.

Well, so that's a resounding buy recommendation.

This is for the purposes of journalistic integrity, isn't it?
