If we had ended the debt ceiling, (as I hoped they would), it would have solved it for now, but then the matter of the 14th Amendment goes to the court when the Maga Republican party disagrees with the use of the "14th Amendment." Eventually the case will get to the supreme court, and they no longer answer questions based on the law. Now, they are owned by dark money. We can not count on the court, once the court has been corrupted and merely a political machine that knows the law but chooses to deny the law for money, as when they asserted the importance of starre decisis in front of the Senate, then denied Roe V Wade last year, for money, out of their corruption. Until they have been dealt with, and they will, the court is no longer a senior judicial agency that can be trusted to act from the framework of the law and the Constitution. Now it's a dog and pony show for profit, as a dirty matter of their choice.

WEll if the IRS can't have the resources to check up on the wealthy, then perhaps they should refocus. Stop checking the poor... completely. The dollar amounts involved are insignificant on a national scale. That would let them concentrate resources to go after the piles of money who may be skipping out on taxes. It won't be one for one, because auditing a wealthy household takes a lot more effort than a working class one, but if you have limited resources, these are the folks you need to target if you're trying to be most efficient. Ideally we'd check everyone, but apparently that idea is off the table. So internal directive... focus on the biggest piles of money.

Mr. Reich, most admired gentleman, and Mehdi, who I also admire, I gotta tell ya. I'm done. I wrote my Congress members Friday: Heinrich, Lujan, and Leger-Fernandez (BTW on the critical House Rules committee) and told them goodbye. I am switching to Republican. Why? To inflict damage in my own small way. I'll vote in my state's closed primary for whichever Republican will do the most damage, either to their own party, or to "moderate" Democrats. Wherever I can, when possible, I will ONLY vote Democrat when they are hard core Progressive. I will donate Progressive - AOC, Katie Porter, etc as I have in the past. I was "A Good Little Democrat" in 2016 and 2020. But I sincerely believe we are in deep oligarchy waters already. "But look what we saved!" So say the instructions from the White House. Joe Scarborough talked about "the grownups" this morning. We would not be in this position if there were any grownups. You have not saved, you have enabled. And still are. The next time the GOP Bully comes for the Democrat lunch money, they will give him mine. Again. Been happening for decades. Sincerely, I see no way to reverse the inertia of multiple huge forces. Misinformation, a government overrun by dark and soft money, an apathetic and under informed voting public, whipped up grievance, let alone gerrymandering, partisan courts, fake electors etc. I'm ready to go political suicide bomber. I have watched this since Reagan. The incremental concessions. It's why we are here today. My credit card interest is sky high as are my corporate induced inflated prices. Social Security will be threatened at least every two years, with increasingly dire theater just like this debt ceiling crap, inevitably to be cut. Yes I WILL bring the political gasoline and dynamite. I'd rather die in an explosion than by being burned alive slowly on a spit. My area is the Red, RED!. Trump voters. Lots of them my friends. They cannot see, will not. So, okay. You love chasing the authoritarian car? I'm gonna help you catch it. And get run over by it. As for Democrats, oligarchy or democracy? Markets or people? Spine or wimp? I already know the answers. All of you live in such a cloistered environment that I truly believe you don't even understand the questions. Savvy KABOOM?

Leave it to the democrats to always cave to fascists and then say "that was the only option", when we all know that in reality they had the control of both chambers just a year back and could have easily avoided this.

And by extension they are diminishing American people. I hate our politics. Democracy seems to be getting further and further in the review mirror. People need to wake up and get involved in changing the players in this game. Start at the Supreme Court. Increase it to 15 justices. New justices get a 15 year term but have an equal vote in the cases upheld or overturned.

Hi Rob,got to weigh in,im tired of hear about inflation reduction act,infrastructure bill,best climate deal in history,lie..Both of them are big fossil fuel industry giveaways,with minimal for climate crisis,1 has not binding renewable energy only if ensured fossil fuel expansions.They both have fossil fuel insider non solutions that only emmit more emissions,like carbon credit just makes co2 profitable n more of it,like carbon capture which is not the one thats good as that one takes a trillion for drill bit alone to drill in ground to store co2,and they not going to pay that,as its to use co2 to get to deeper oil in ground n push it out n whole process makes 3 to 5x more co2 than started with.Biden approved alaska oil drilling carbon bomb,alaska fracking pipeline carbon bomb,1/3 to half of gulf for sale for oil drilling,let supreme court eliminate clean water act mostly dispite its a federal law,now put mountian valley pipeline in the debt deal.All within the past 4 to 6 weeks alone.emissions that escilate global warming are increased by some 3000 to 5000x more than in recent past..Also biden said no to green new deal which was some 5 to 8% of whats needed,his biden climate plan as of UN top scientists was less than 1% of whats needed,as of same scientists his 2 bills mentioned here was less than 1/10th to 1/100th of whats needed.And now we see any minimal is far oiver exceded with more emission more fossil fuels more climate crisis faster.So the best ever deal is enviornmental n ecosystem total collapse faster than ever projected?.If so,whats the worst?. Tnx Rob.

Days ago, you said that Biden should ignore the unconstitutional debt ceiling nonsense. Now you say we should surrender to this Republican austerity program. Why?

You pulled the typical semantics misdirection in your reply to dashobi, that I called you out on, because you tried to cover up for the fact that the rethugs were holding the debt ceiling hostage.

The USD is about to lose it's Reserve currency status soon as most countries will eventually use bilateral agreements. That's when this 31 Trillion debt is going to haunt Americans. Most US banks will need protection. 🤔

Biden never needed to do any deal. The damage that would have been done to all the rich donors if the republicans decided not to vote to raise the debt ceiling would have seriously pissed off the donors and been disastrous to the future of the republicans that voted against raising it. So they wouldn't dare send us into chaos. Biden knows this, but despite being socially liberal Biden is fairly conservative economically. Biden wanted most if not all these cuts.

Currently, I understand that living expenses and taxes can take up a significant portion of one's income, which can limit how far that income can go. Even 100k doesn't get you very far and the dream of retiring early is starting to seem like a fairy tale. I have roughly $200,000 in 401(k) that I need to grow expeditiously . Please leave a comment if you can help or have any tips I would really appreciate it.
