How that baleful reality coexists with Wall Street's expectation of an awesome economic  future and stock prices which never stop rising to the sky is one of the great enigmas of  our times. Or maybe it's just because $10 trillion of fiscal and monetary "stimulus" in  the past year can turn the proverbial sow's ear into a silk purse. For a time.  

By now, of course, we expect idiocy from Sleepy Joe, especially on the economic front.  

Accordingly, at his virtual global summit he will be reading-out from the White House  teleprompter the demented agenda of the Climate Change Howlers. Therein he will  promise to cut greenhouse gases by 50% by the end of this decade, which calamity we  can also promise would cut America's debt-entombed economy to its knees.  

That comes after Tuesday's White House contretemps when he first prayed for a guilty  verdict in the Chauvin trial even as the jury was sitting in its deliberations, and then,  afterwards, made the risible claim that this tragedy was the spawn of systemic racism.
