Soon it won't be just the descendants of Vikings running for the exits.
American bond yields will rip higher and the cost of loans - mortgages, car loans, small business loans will go higher with the 10 year yield.
I'm sure many Republicans will be upset realizing their vote cost them stability.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.
