  • The decline of the U.S. dollar would have consequences for the American political classes voracious appetite for ever-greater public spending. But, say the pundits, that will never happen, as Washingtons debt ceiling politics are a show that will go on foreverespecially as deficits do not matter! However, deficits will not matter until they do.
  • Once a small blip among federal outlays, emergency supplemental spending has exploded since 2002. GOP Congress let a key legislative restriction on its use expire in 2002. The 10-year total rises to an inflation-adjusted $7 trillion more than last years entire federal budget.

Florida is bracing for yet another major storm in the span of a year as rapidly intensifying Hurricane Idalia churns through abnormally warm Gulf Coast waters. The storm is just the latest extreme weather event this summer to draw attention to the nearly depleted federal disaster relief fund. Efforts to replenish the fund have remained stalled in Congress, largely due to competing political interests and an increasingly polarized fight over federal spending-particularly the national debt ceiling.
