Right? Stimulus checks when the National debt exceeds GDP and inflation is high?

“The stimulus will continue until inflation improves”

The squabbles make for fun reading but I wish they would all put more energy into immigration reform, reducing the national debt and health care reform. I hope Epstein’s clients will be exposed. The tawdry mess fills me with despair.

Thanks, Gabe. I love it when Trump bumps up against gravity and realizes that it applies to him too. He won’t always get what he wants.

Very objective. The real question is how much impact will the social media wars have on all of this. The children are getting restless

The tariff decision has been potentially put off until at least next spring. No one is talking about that

I agree with your assessment that it is harder to stay united when you have to say" yes" to things. However, I think it might be good to add that the Democrats have done more than just say "no". What proposals have they been proposing in a pretty unified way?

I agree that it is unusual for a president to discuss bad poll results, but I don't think it will damage Trump with voters. The swing voters who are turning on Trump are not paying any attention to the day-by-day minutiae of Washington. However, it may impact the thinking of friends and foes on Capitol Hill.
