And 14th Amendment is also a total red herring. My guess whatever happens the debt continues to go up somehow.

The whole "debt default" mantra is total BS. Tax receipts are more than enough to cover interest payments on the debt. What needs cutting are the myriad useless programs and give aways (student debt relief?) that are in the budget. Debt ceiling continually being raised shows what a Ponzi the US public finances are.

I wonder if they are capable of mounting any kind of offensive. Stalemate seems the most likely option. Until Europe finally tires of supporting this awful conflict.

The ponzi continues. Just keep borrowing and call it meeting their financial commitments. Trump may be awful but he is right on the fact that America can't keep spending like this. Something has to give.

I think more to follow. Especially if rates continue to rise.

No mention of Ukrainian losses?

The assertion that we have more extreme weather events remains contentious

Revelation. Actually his career went a bit off after his liaison with a hollywood streetwalker. Nice to see him back as a villain

How many sorrys are required?

China must be quaking in its boots

More tax and spend is not the answer.

The constant need to raise the debt limit shows what a ponzi US government funding is.

Entitlements were established when people died younger and the ratio of earners to receivers of benefits was more sustainable. Unfortunately in a democracy the ability of the state to fix this is limited. Sad for the retirees , but id]f benefits not addressed then they will end up paying thru the current bout of high inflation.

Because they see the awful impact of this lunacy

Because they are all cut from the same cloth. Lunatics

Education subsidies and loan forgiveness plans both have the unforseen consequences of driving the cost of tuition up.

Sad but seems Ukraine strategy is failing. Bakhmut appears to have been a disaster for them.

I think that Russian losses are being grossly exaggerated by our media. They have been using artillery and similar to achieve their objectives. Sure they are losing troops, but poor Ukraine losing more and have less manpower reserves to draw on.

we were told Bakhmut was going to be a bloody nose for Russia. That does not appear to be the case.

Shades of Afghanistan just before the collapse there?

Jeez. Do these people never learn? Sanctions have been all but useless and will end up causing more harm to the world economy.

Sitting in a fortified town like this was never a sensible military strategy. Turned into a meat grinder where Russia could just bombard the place and inflict huge casualties. Sad for Ukraine, but the overwhelming manpower and material advantage the Russians have will finally prevail.

All this money will unfortunately not replace the dead and help Ukraine in this war. Russia appears to have the upper hand and Ukraine will struggle to fend of the coming attacks.

Unfortunately so many of the reparation or compensation movements attract grifters

Feels lime the end game. Poor Ukraine sacrificed on the altar of geopolitics.

Beginning of the end. More stuff won't save the poor Ukrainians. They need more people. And they are running out of those unless NATO directly intervenes.

Total nonsense story. Another distraction from what really matters to the world.

Trust? Surely that was lost a long time agon

Critical issue. Well done Spain for tackling this threat to humanity

Partially, but mainly due to insane BoJ policies.

If they change their jingle, the world may well end

Will be surprised if this doesn't flop, just like all the previous attempts to convict him of somethung.

Prime example of the investment bubble. More to come.

Money printing chickens coming home to roost
