That’s not what […]

    Consequences of spiralling US debt

    Also, I'll note that Trump's social media post (quoted and its entirety in the article in the post below) is more unhinged than his posts usually are... off-the-rails dangerously nuts.

  12. Can you imagine the #USA ending trade w/ #China? There would be hardly anything left in Walmarts or on Amazon lol...

    #Trump 's threat seems ridiculous and empty, yet reckless and dangerous. He obviously wants to overhaul the #economy by flipping it to manufacturing & export-based, but threatening to isolate the #US more and effectively destroy the economy as it stands (leaning heavily on imports & dominated by consumer spending) should be impeachable

  13. Trump is threatening the FED that he will cut off #trade w/ countries that have a trade surplus over #USA (so that's a LOT, including biggest trading partners China, Canada, Mexico).

    Isolating the #US more (saying that not trading is better than #tariffs) is almost villainous & has nothing to do w/ the Fed's dual mandate to ensure stable #prices ( #inflation ) & maximum #employment

  14. How much does Donald Trump care about winning the midterms? Apparently, not much at all | Jonathan Freedland
    By Jonathan Freedland

    Such is the US president’s narcissism that he would see a Democratic victory as proof of his indispensability – meanwhile, his every decision spells calamity for voters

    Sanity and decency rather than hysteria or complacency in this discussion of US debt.

    It will be helpful viewing for Americans worrying about the size of the debt and salutary for Democrats and progressives when thinking about policy priorities for a post-Trump USA.

    When discussing the current and projected level of US debt, always....
