Keep Smiling Baby Corn Joke
A cheerful quotation extols the value of a smile as free and far reaching. It notes smiles bring happiness, goodwill, and rest, and are a universal gift. The piece ends with a light joke about a baby corn asking its origin and a mother corn giving a playful reply.
The Easy Way and Hard Way Inflation Finance
The piece contrasts funding government by tax payments versus borrowing from banks. It explains that borrowing creates new checkbook money, causing inflation and higher living costs for a typical family, about 35 to 40 dollars yearly, while tax funding costs about 20 dollars per household. It argues for pay-as-you-go tax financing to curb inflation.

It's the law Homestead and tax liens in Texas
