The move rang the bell loud and clear that the Imperial City has become fiscally ungovernable. That means there is a chamber of horrors coming. With it, an endless political and fiscal crisis that will dominate Washington for years to come. Its cause is deep and structural. Found Fathers, Fiscal Crisis and the Washington of Today. The founders, in fact, were small government de- centralists and non- interventionists.
That’s why they agreed to Madison’s contraption of redundant checks and balances. Aside from ruthlessly ambitious Alexander Hamilton, the founders wanted a national government that was hobbled by levels of hurdles and vetoes. They wanted a government that could act sparingly and only after thorough deliberation and consensus building. And that made sense. After all, most believed that the 1. Constitution. Neither Washington or Jefferson envisioned the political and fiscal burdens of running an empire.“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.” That was George Washington’s Farewell Address to us.
The inaugural pledge of Thomas Jefferson was no less clear in stating, “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations- entangling alliances with none.”So when Woodrow Wilson embarked the nation on the route of Empire in April 1. FDR launched the domestic interventionism of the New Deal in March 1. It was only a matter of time before the disconnect between a robust Big Government and the structural infirmities of Madison’s republican contraption resulted in a deadly impasse. The Fed has now backed itself into a corner and is out of dry powder. Even its Keynesian managers are determined to normalize and shrink a hideously bloated balance sheet. The current account has no basis in sustainable or sound finance. The time of fiscal reckoning has come.
With the financial sedative of monetization on hold, bond vigilantes will soon awaken from their 3. First up is the imminent debt ceiling crisis. Republicans will never reach agreement on a bill to raise the debt ceiling by at least the $2 trillion that would be needed to get through November 2. That’s because the Freedom Caucus conservatives would never agree to a clean debt ceiling bill. By agreeing to such a measure, they would betray the fundamental reason they went to Washington. The Washington Post reported that sentiment exactly this morning in comments from Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows: Meadows said that he recently attended a meeting of eight of the most conservative Senate and House lawmakers about how to handle the debt ceiling and that not once did they consider the idea of backing Mnuchin’s proposal for a clean debt- ceiling increase.
The end game is quite clear. After several false starts, the Trump White House will be forced to turn to Democrats for votes to raise the debt ceiling but it will come at a price. Not only would Trump be forced to bailout Obamacare with subsidies to insurance companies to keep rates out of double digits and coverage on state exchanges from collapsing, but it would also mean setting aside his vaguely outlined domestic agenda. That would include dropping the sweeping domestic spending cuts contained in the Administration’s budget and settling for a modest tax plan constrained by revenue neutrality. Even if Trump were to agree to a quid pro quo with Democrats to get votes for a debt ceiling increase, it would soon be surpassed by a far bigger consequence. It would be the complete implosion of any functioning Republican majorities on Capitol Hill.
That’s because a White House deal with the Dems on the debt ceiling would amount to giving the GOP rank and file release from party discipline — ragged as it already is — on fiscal matters going forward. White House complicity in Obamacare’s rescue would be considered an unforgivable betrayal. Donald Trump, the Debt Ceiling and the Fiscal Reality.
The Donald has almost no real friends in the Imperial City among the ranks of the seasoned political pros who run the Congressional GOP. After a debt- ceiling- for- Obamacare- bailout deal with the Dems, he would have no friends at all. The President would then be completely beholden to political enemies.
The naïve notions about “bipartisanship” and “working with Democrats” held by the White House inner circle of economic advisors will then come into play. As far as we can tell, both Secretary Mnuchin and chief economic advisor Gary Cohn (and son- in- law Jared Kushner) are lifelong Democrats. They are individuals who have no fiscal policy principles whatsoever — except doing whatever is necessary to keep the stock market rising. They would likely lead the Donald into a fatal debt deal with the Dems based on the doctrine that the “credit” of the U.
S. must be preserved at all hazards. By doing so, the Wall Street/Washington establishment’s fifth column in the White House will bring about the final defenestration of what is left of Trump’s presidency. The astute leader of the Freedom Caucus made the devastating political cost of such a maneuver crystal clear. In recent commentary on the impending crisis, referring to Mnuchin’s campaign for a clean debt ceiling bill, he explained there is no such thing as 5. GOP/Dem coalition to pass a debt ceiling bill. The minute the White House starts making concessions, the GOP bench will jump off the ship in droves. It will then become an overwhelmingly Democrat vote show: “He’s certainly in the minority in the administration,” said Rep.
Mark Meadows (R- N. Watch Ip Man 2 IMDB. C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. The problem is, yes, you could get a clean debt- ceiling, but it would be 1. Democrats in the House with 4.
Republicans, and that’s not a good way to start. Before Trump is forced into a surrender, there will be the same vote count maneuvering in GOP caucuses of both Houses. Similar to what preceded the GOP collapse of their seven- year crusade against Obamacare, such maneuvering may even lead to one or more small increases in borrowing authority. The more likely case, however, is that the Treasury’s cash — which now stands at $1. That would cause the Treasury to unleash the nuclear tool of spending prioritization and allocation of incoming revenues to the highest uses (debt service, social security payments and military payroll). Again, the Washington Post story hit exactly what is coming: “One former Treasury official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive agency deliberations, said officials are now “brushing up on options in the ‘crazy drawer.’”In past administrations, Treasury officials have designed plans to prioritize payments to government bondholders so that if the government runs short on cash it could avoid defaulting on U.
S. debt. Such a scenario would be very difficult to manage because some bills would either be delayed or not paid — making it necessary to prevent an actual default.
