And so once again I ask "the dog that didn't bark" question: what happened to the debt ceiling?
When the grownups in the Biden Administration handed the keys over to the Trump regime, they told us that we'd start bumping up against the debt ceiling days after Trump took office. Not only is DOGE not saving money, the government is spending more. Where are they stealing money from to pay our creditors?
If #MarkCarney really wanted us to believe he wasn't a puppet for the same oligarchy that's pushing #PierrePoilievre, he'd call #Trump's "Pause on #Tariffs" what it WAS: a #HOSTAGESITUATION.
#Trump is using the threat of tariffs to hold the world hostage, just like how the #GOP use the #Debtceiling to hold the #Federalgovernment hostage every four years.
"There is one major sign that lawmakers expect to increase the #deficit more with this version: It would raise the #debtceiling by a larger amount than the February version. The debt ceiling limits how much money the federal government is allowed to borrow.
#Congress wants to pass a major package of policy changes using a special reconciliation process that could pass without any Democratic votes in the #Senate."

…The wrinkle in the effort is the #DebtCeiling, which limits how much the government can borrow. Faced with this roadblock, the #Treasury is using cash from its account at the #Fed to pay bills, which is adding liquidity into the system. When the #debt ceiling is raised, assuming that happens, the Treasury will likely seek to rebuild its account, which will take liquidity back out of the system.

Middle class screwed yet again
Medicaid, Social programs Out; Tax cuts for #Billionaires In
Debt Ceiling up $4 trillion
House Republicans advance plan for Trump's legislative agenda
What's in the House plan?
“The House's plan would set up a massive reconciliation bill that would extend #Trump's 2017 tax cuts and implement new ones at a cost of $4.5 trillion.
It would also allocate $300 billion for spending on defense and border security, would raise the #debtceiling by $4 trillion over two years, and add almost $3 trillion to the federal deficit over 10 years.”

“A debt ceiling breach would have damaging economic consequences.
But a congressional stalemate over the debt limit could also provide the Trump administration with an opportunity to further aggrandize and legitimate its usurpation of Congress’s spending power.”
