I felt relief at the inauguration and I am not even in the US or an American! Trump's rhetoric was so toxic that everyone just screamed at each other. That's really stressful as a political watcher and social media user. Let's hope we get back to boring politicians doing politics and people can stop yelling their views..

Right on schedule, Republicans pretend to care about deficits again

It’s almost like clockwork. As soon as a Democrat enters the White House, Republicans pretend to care about deficits again.

The one thing that concerns me that nobody seems to be talking about anymore is the massive amount of debt that we continue to rack up as a nation,” Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) complained during a confirmation hearing this week for Treasury Secretary-nominee Janet Yellen. “For me,” he continued, “that is a huge warning sign on the horizon, the fact that we have an ever-growing deficit, an ever-growing debt and no apparent interest in taking the steps that are necessary to address it.”

His colleague Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) likewise carped that U.S. deficit levels are “frightening.” Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) piled on, saying that waiting for interest rates to rise to indicate that debts are unsustainable would be “too late.”
