I'm chairman of the Bond Commission. I set the agenda. Unless someone can get a two-thirds vote to override me, it won't be on the agenda.

You can milk a cow the wrong way once and still be a farmer, but vote the wrong way on a water tower and you can be in trouble.

We don't get to vote on an override, nor do we get to veto. That is clearly the domain of the governor and the Legislature.

I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy; Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.

The Fed Chairman would be very happy if the bond market did some of the tightening for him. And I think if we saw the long bond yield back above, say, 6.75 percent, edging towards 7 percent, that would limit some of the restraint the Fed would have to impose on the economy.
