SOON:

Catastrophic stock market #crash.

Out of control #deficit spending.

Record numbers of people #homeless, #sick, #dying, #poisoned from tainted food, drugs, and getting #killed on roads, bridges, in the air.

Acts of #terror and direct threats to Americans globally.

Oh. Lets not forget. #Tax breaks for the #rich.

All this thanks to #Republicans.

Utterly fantastic job the #GOP is doing.

First Nations leaders blast feds for attributing deficit overrun to Indigenous legal claims
First Nations leaders are blasting the federal government and calling for an apology after Ottawa attributed its latest deficit overrun to Indigenous legal claims against the Crown. The statement "harkened back to the colonial mindset" to villainize and scapegoat First Nations, one leader says.

"Bruno la Menace", c'est le nouveau surnom attribué à Bruno Le Maire avant son audition devant le Sénat ce jeudi sur le désastre budgétaire: "Il s'est préparé comme un sportif de haut niveau", prévient l'un de ses soutiens. Attention au claquage... L'Elysée va suivre avec attention la séquence: "Macron l'a reçu pour l'amadouer, c'est... Bercy qui va prendre pour tout le monde, grince un habitué. Mais ils sont payés en conséquence"

"this Labour government was not elected to reduce a huge budget deficit. It was elected, in large part, to fix the NHS and other public services. A 'senior Labour source' said recently that Labour were elected 'first and foremost to sort the public finances'. This is nonsense. The election campaign was not about the public finances .... What the public were concerned about was the NHS."

Finally, #Democrats more trusted on the economy than the #Deficit #Inflation #Tariffs #TaxCuts for wealthy #republicans!

More Americans trust #KamalaHarris to handle the US economy than Trump according to a new poll that marks a sharp change in voter sentiment following #Biden’s withdrawal from the White House race

The survey, conducted for the @FinancialTimes &UM is the first poll to show the #Democratic presidential candidate leading #Trump on the #Economy

Text Shot: Forty-two per cent of voters said they trusted Harris more to handle the economy, compared to 41 per cent who said they put their faith in Trump. While Trump’s numbers were unchanged from last month, Harris’s standing was a 7 percentage point improvement compared to Biden’s numbers in July.

“The fact that voters were more positive on Harris than on Biden . . . says as much about how badly Biden was doing as it does about how well Harris is doing,” said Erik Gordon, a professor at the university.

Biden, in his first three years and five months in office, approved $4.3 trillion of new ten-year borrowing, or $2.2 trillion excluding the American Rescue Plan

#Trump approved $8.8 trillion of gross new borrowing and $443 billion of #Deficit reduction during his term
