Sure. But there's still – Debits and credits still have to balance. I'm not the economist who can give you a detailed analysis of all this stuff.

I just look at it as a business guy. You still got to balance things. In order to print that money, we got to borrow it from someone, even if it's ourselves. That inflates the balance sheet and that creates other problems with inflation.

Because think of it this way, John. Look at all Zimbabwe and all these other third world countries that tried to do the exact same thing.

And more poverty, et cetera, right? And he probably argued the opposite, but still. I understand. If you're going to print a lot of money, you are going to have a lot of inflation. And that, you know, again, I'm not the economist, but I don't see that as being a significant positive. I think, you know, if you have 26, 30, 50 percent inflation, your stability goes out the door.

I don't think that works, but again, maybe there's an angle there that I don't know.

No, I loved it, right? It wasn't that. It's my family. I mean, look at all the shit they're doing that they did to J.D. Vance. I don't want my kids hearing about me fucking a couch, you know, or, you know, when I was- That's really a you issue, though, more than anything. It was a nice couch. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, but it was mostly on Twitter. I'm fine with that. But if they go after my kids and my family and dealing with that, my kids are 15, 18, and 21 now. Right, right, right. And more importantly than that, I want to be around them. That's the key reason why I sold a big chunk of the Mavs, why I got out of Shark Tank. Shark Tank films June and September.

My kids get out of school in June, go back in September. I miss birthdays. I mean, that's fucked up. And it bothered me to no end. And, you know, like our conversations, I get into this stuff. I always want to, you know, going even back to Elon and Vivek, there's a difference between just deficit reduction, which seems to be their focus, and problem solving. In between there is efficiency, right?

You always want to be more efficient with whatever tools, you know, people or AI, whatever it takes, you want to be more efficient. But the question becomes, how do you solve problems? And what problems are you start trying to solve? Because at the end of the day, that's what we're trying to give our taxpayer money to the government for, to solve problems that we need solved.

Here's what I think happens, and this is just my guess. I think they go in trying to have a big PR impact, right? We're cutting this and we're cutting that, and they'll find the things that have always been – have always had notoriety, you know, the $1,200 toilet type things, you know, the $800,000, you know, mice experiment, whatever it may be. And we'll chop those.

And then from there, they'll have to actually think. They'll have to actually dig in and they'll have to find ways to measure what they're evaluating. And that's going to be the challenge.
