      Not just that, their citizens can’t pressure their government to cave…

      If China and the US are hurt equally, that’s worse for the US.

      Especially since we’re having the same fight with every other country (except Russia…) simultaneously

        Sure, but I heard in a war, the absolutely best thing you can do is turn all your allies into enemies and then get all your enemies to attack you at once. It’s 8D checkers, us small-brains wouldn’t get it.

    Having a cabinet of Trump loyalists whose only move is to double down is somehow not giving us an agile, effective government, huh? Gosh, this is so surprising.

      Mostly Americans actually, but it’s going to cost us all dearly to refinance it. We’re not going to be able to afford to do anything as a country for decades.

      They’re being honest about it it l just not meaning to. They’re gambling admitting they’re gambling and like every longer gambler they can’t admit there’s even a possibility they’ll loose.

    This guy is such a massive waste of space. 9 times out of 10 when he’s asked an economic question, “I don’t know” is his answer. And then the few other times he says shit like this, which also isn’t helpful.
