Alert readers (ARs) who follow politics will be aware that the 118th Congress of the United States convened in January of this year. What most ARs may not recall is that one of the first priorities of the new Congress was the availability of tickets for concerts on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

And, perhaps like some ARs, I often wonder what happens to the trillions of dollars we collectively send to the federal government every year.
