SO. Austin, Texas got a visit from Janet Yellen yesterday. Yellen was here to applaud the IRS collection of 1.3 BN in taxes from evasive payers. This is her bureaucratic summary offer during an oppressive inflationary economic period. I did mention to Texas leadership and Secretary representation she could sanction to the cartel criminals, if she wants a tax evaders slush fund now. Asset forfeiture on PRC triad properties and Sinaloa cash accounts might make a small dent, if this is actually about money vs. modern monetary theory.

*I have also mentioned to national leadership they could add the PRC triads, Mexican and Central American cartels to the US Treasury Sanctions lists, but I have seen no news of movement on that, yet. To date the Yakuza are sanctioned transnational criminal gangs but the foreign gangs inside our borders are not. (Figure that one out.)

AS USUAL, THE CRIMINALS DON’T PAY TAXES OR SHOW ID - BUT YOU END UP PAYING THEIR WAY ANYWAY.
