  2. So lets see.  A disastrous trade war.  Farmers going to need a bailout. China’s economy still roaring and their exports actually increased.  US consumer goods going up in price. The government shutdown.  Unemployment rates rising. Alienated the USA on the world stage.  China restricting access to critical rare earth minerals.  Threatening to deport US citizens. Masked Federal troops roaming US cities kidnapping people. Billionaire real estate goon that owns multiple properties telling kids “maybe they dont need so many dolls for Christmas”, oh yea….and release the fucking Epstein Files. 

  4. The Republicans got their mulligan – a clean CR extension – six months later (which they frittered away and allowed more funds from the PRIOR budget to be clawed back), and now whine that they won’t return to DC to negotiate until the government opens up. Meanwhile, Congress is going on week three of a paid vacation, those Federal workers who have been furloughed, then fired, then rehired, then fired again, may not get paid, and the “essential” personnel have been working without pay. You know, if Republicans keep digging, we’ll have a tariff-free conduit to getting goods from China

  5. So we’re having to hold back on some payments so that our—the brave men and women in the U.S. military can get paid.

    aren’t these brave men and women sent out now to be domestic terrorists? No longer defending the country from foreign invaders, but those who don’t tote the party line.

  6. You would think this Bessent guy could be smarter, but he’s helping mess the economy more. Smh.

  7. If things continue to worsen, I’m not sure how the US could recover without an FDR type admin
