How he didn’t see this coming in November I’ll never understand. Or at least by February.
He was on stage with Trump while DJT was talking about the TCJA Cuts being made permanent and the Tax breaks on tips and overtime. So him bitching about the $5 Trillion and calling it new spending when it’s not new spending, just reduced receipts according to the CBO hits me as disingenuous at best. I have no doubt that he’s pissed there weren’t more and deeper spending cuts, I’m sure he’s pissed about the increased spending in some areas, but they are small details compared to the tax rates being made permanent. It really does make me think that all of this is the EV credits being rolled back, and the energy policy being presented.

Worst half year performance of the dollar in over half a century.

Let's fast forward and say this happens, or in 10 years we have a bajillion dollars in debt. Eventually what are the possible outcomes?
- Massive spending cuts?
- Massive tax increases?
- Dollar security faulters and causes worldwide economic depression?
It seems a mathematical certainty that if we don't change something, all the government will spend its money on is paying debt interest. Which would be quite appropriate given how many families do that today with their credit cards.
