As long as #Republicans are in power, #deficits don't matter
As soon as #CorporateMedia smells #Democrats gaining a foothold, or trying to feed/house/educate children who MIGHT POSSIBLY BE #BIPOC, there's No End to concerned pundits telling us why the #Deficit must be reined in

“Which brings me to #vibecoding. As I've written, there's a world of difference between writing code for production and writing #personalsoftware that solves a problem you have. Whatever #deficits that code has (due to the fact that you're not a skilled programmer) are offset by the fact that you're the one making the tool (which means your needs aren't lossily filtered through a programmer's understanding of those needs).”

#Trump set what he called “reciprocal” #tariffs on most countries in April 2025 to address #trade #deficits that he declared a “national emergency”. Those came after he imposed extra #duties on #Canada, #China & #Mexico, ostensibly to address a “drug trafficking” “emergency”.
A series of lawsuits followed, including a case from a dozen largely Democratic-leaning #states & others from small #businesses selling everything from plumbing supplies to educational toys to women’s cycling apparel. -

#US #trade #deficits remained high in 2025, despite #Trump #tariffs
The US #TradeDeficit for goods hit a record $1.2 trillion last year, despite the Trump admin pursuing a trade agenda with aggressive tariffs & a staunch “America First” approach.#economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving #idiocracy #kakistocracy

Dear @HennaVirkkunen
IMO, it is #EU who should have #tariffs against the US in #cloud compute.
US investment banking secures investment in compute, which is backed by federal banking, which is backed by the largest #deficits in history, enabled by the #petrodollar, enabled by aggressive military operations for #oil
There’s no way a EU cloud service can compete in pricing against this.
We can’t have #digitalsovereignty when #eu is outpriced on every deal.

Reaganomics & Thatcherism were based on an incorrect model of money creation.
That’s why the economy came out of them with less growth than it went in with!
The contraction was due to external shocks, not monetary policy. But the financiers got their way & preferred a model that blamed the government and ordinary people for all the ills in economy.
So now after 40 years of that.. We have been bled dry & they still want more.

Noted Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz Mohamed El-Erian posits that America's economy is at at a fork in the road moment and it’s a true coin toss about what direction things will go from here >> Stagflation vs. Declining Inflation + Increasing Economic Confidence.
El-Erian points to “unusually high policy volatility” in Washington, including abrupt tariff threats, soaring deficits, and inconsistent execution have “shaken the very foundations of the global order,” making it harder for investors and businesses to plan for the future. https://www.ainvest.com/news/el-erian-warns-economy-faces-reagan-carter-moment-2507/ #Economy #Stagflation #Inflation #Recession #financialmarkets #stockmarket #Tariffs #Deficits #Investors

The #IMF said the #legislation runs counter to its advice that the #US should be working to shrink its fiscal #deficits over the medium term.
“From the IMF side, we have been consistent in saying that the US will need to reduce its fiscal deficit over time to put public #debt to #GDP on a decisive downward path,” Julie Kozack said.
Kozack noted that there’s broad agreement that the #Republican bill would likely increase the US fiscal deficit.
