How is that going to help when business, for all practical reasons, is nearly, totally shut down?

Well why should we pay that debt?

If you pay taxes, you have no choice.

Sounds good, but who wants to buy paper at near zero rate of return?

A foreign institutional investor that expects its own currency to decline by 30% against the U.S. dollar in the next 2-3 years.

Of course we have no choice. But it makes the point that classical conservatism and a REASONABLY regulated FREE MARKET are held in a locker room of great ideas in this country by the greedy, the powerful and the fearful sycophants.

Middle class needs to wake up in self defense.

Shame on Trump?
He didn’t do it - the Fed Committee did it...

Funny how you ‘qualify’ your concern troll post with a disclaimer like that - says that’s where the real conviction is - slamming Trump for something he had no effective control over.

Trump appoints Fed members as I recall. Trump pushed for lower rates often and publically.

He has not worked against it at all.
