"This is really about Russian alignment. Trump isn't delivering on their agenda.

It's really clear that the central beef b/w Musk &Trump is over the debt ceiling. & Russia is on Musk's side. If we manage to avoid default amid all this chaos it will be a miracle."

Cheering for either Trump or Musk is foolish, but the breakup rhetoric is entertaining & revealing. As much as we want Trump out, Thiel's Vance is waiting in the wings.

The growing #debt has paradoxically given urgency for #Republicans to pass the bill, as it would raise the federal govt's #DebtCeiling by $4 trillion [something they rail against when there’s a Democratic admin]. That would avert the prospect of #default, which ofcls have warned would come this summer.
Republicans also argued that failure to pass the bill would mean an effective tax hike for some [#wealthy] Americans, as #Trump's 2017 tax cuts are to expire at the end of the year.

And if the US has to pay more in interest to borrow cash to pay its bills, that could filter out & cause interest rates to rise for US #households & #businesses too, everything from #mortgage rates to #AutoLoans rates to #CreditCards. That could slow the #economy.

…the #credit downgrade does comes ahead of a key period for Washington, where it’s set to debate potential cuts in #taxes for corporations & the wealthy that could suck away more revenue, as well as the nation’s #DebtCeiling.
