    So, to understand, the "fiscal hawks" got not 1, but 2 independent panels to look at government efficiency and waste. That means those committees will have to hire staff to do the legwork. And they have no power to make changes. Are we sure that the biggest government waste is in the social, military, environmental, and other executive branch offices? Sounds to me like maybe that title should go to the GOP House.

    It will be interesting to see how those independent panels and Musk/Ramaswamy decide to reduce the debt while addressing the credit crisis (trump's 10% interest max). When banks don't get paid and can't charge higher interest, they tighten credit, which slows the economy and stock market, and they write off the bad loans against their taxes, which reduces money flowing into the government. Wheeeee!

    This is really bad news for the economy. The fiscal hawks gained power they did not have before. Anyone with a view to history or an education in economics knows that Austerity only works when the economy is booming and should be used. Austerity when the economy is in a bubble is bad, really bad and is as foolish as the crazy concept known as trickle down economics. If they try to cut the budget hard just as the bubbles are on the verge of popping, it will destroy the economy and might even damage the dollar on the global stage. This is bad and looking to get worse. We have already had a bond inversion and the FED has already messed with the Repo window. This is exactly where we were in October of 2019 just before the election with all signs on a depression starting in March of 2020 but the pandemic hit and the bailout for that covered up the disaster that would have happened anyway without the pandemic. Not good, not good at all. Will Trump pilot us through as Biden did or will he fumble it? My bet is on the latter.
