I joined Pete Dominick to debate the Debt Ceiling, Inflation, markets, and extra. I pop into the pod across the 30-minute mark. (Earlier than that, Pete discusses how his teenage daughter received scammed out of $5k by a pretend border police grift, and why there’s a kind of glad ending).
We additionally focus on my thesis of the “Disloyal Opposition” because it applies to Debt Ceilings, fiscal stimulus, and even vaccines.
Politics used to cease on the water’s edge, and whereas we might have disagreed about how we have been going to realize these targets, all people needed what was greatest for the nation. That’s not true. Politics at the moment are purely a blood sport — it’s nearly energy, not coverage. And that need to win energy at any price — no matter whether or not it’s blood or treasure — is the place we’re right now, and it’s greater than a little bit unhappy.
