[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll address #3.  The “extra territoriality” of the dollar is putting the global economy at risk. McCarthy (whom it took double digit votes to elect in the first place) has 4 votes to spare and is dealing with everyone from MTG, Bobbert and Gaetz to the tea party in negotiating the debt ceiling.  He has yet to articulate a coherent solution.  And no, the party holding the Senate and White House isn’t going to give him a rescission halfway through the fiscal year and MTG’s dream list.

France should be concerned because there is a good chance we will default on our debt this year and take France down with us. Looking at my IRA and 529s, I’d feel better if world currency wasn’t tied to the dollar. I think most American don’t understand just how bad a default will be. But they will when SSA and the VA can’t send out checks. [/quote]

McConnell is not going to allow a default this to happen  if he has to smack McCarthy up one side and down the other.  Abortion is already killing the GOP and McCarthy allowing a default will bury the GOP in 2024.[/quote]

I’d like to think that is true. That Biden and McConnell can prevent a default. And then I watched the dozen votes it took to get him elected majority leader. Like Pelosi. Hate Pelosi, she controlled the Democrats. When it mattered, even the squad hopped to and voted against their progressive promises. McCarthy is promising a revision package, enormous cuts in all heath, education and welfare programs (Hi Medicare recipients), another sequester.  And they want more. And MTG and Bobbert and Gaetz and Gohmert really are dumb enough to hold out. That’s your 4 votes.

I don’t see how this happens unless a handful of Rs cross the aisle. And that assumes McCarthy let’s it come to a vote. It’s a mess.  I’m sure 90% of the R House is sane. But the 10% of pure crazy is enough to cause a big problem.

And, of course, another October 1 shutdown. I’m actually looking at going to my parents house the mountains that week and paying them a nominal amount, because you get out of being an “essential worker” in my agency if you have pre-paid vacation and pre-approved leave.  Work and not be paid on time or vacation and not be paid on time?  Tough call.

I’m over these partial shutdowns. Shut absolutely everything Federal down.  It would last less than 24 hours and never happen again. [/quote]
