The Rats only want to raise taxes; they don't care about any real spending cuts except in national defense, as they always have. I agree the only outcome is economic collapse because the Rats will use the additional tax revenue (which is a paltry sum compared to the total debt realized by unfunded mandates) to leverage even more borrowing and spending. The stock market is being driven by the Federal Reserve buying $85 billion in T-bills per month (about a $trillion per year total), and printing fiat currency to do it. There is a limit to federal spending no matter what the damn commie rats think and the bill is going to come due very soon.

This bill sets up another $4 trillion in spending, i.e., more debt. I expect another downgrading of U S Treasuries, soaring inflation, devaluation of the dollar, a lowering of wages, soaring unemployment, a lower standard of living and a final catastrophic descent into economic hell, civil unrest and God knows what else.

At the moment we are borrowing 46 cents out of every dollar we spend.
How long can that continue? Not much longer.
