This is an excellent article by Paul Krugman about the economic losses Trumpism is incurring for US-- loss of sales of military equipt/fighter jets etc; loss of tourism (Canada, Europe)and rise in borrowing costs-- driving up our debt.

Throwback Thursday…

Remember that time Biden cornered the entire Republican Party into denying they’d cut Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid for a $1T tax break for billionaires?

That was only a year ago. Now, the biggest earned benefits cut in history is in their budget.
