Moreover it'll ruin USD as a reserve currency another unforced error.
Where in the hell is Congress? Talk about useless, a blankin' useless institution. The checkbook is a 1a or 1b named, explicit role and responsibility.

Don't worry--if it's any consolation, I don't expect they'll be around to disappoint us for much longer.
Waiting for next year, after the midterm elections change the parties out, to worry about the deficit when the other guy can take the blame.
Now this situation is complicated. Take the border. The dems (plus cnn, ms-now) cannot bring themselves to say: illegal immigrants must be deported, and those adjudicated in court ordered to leave but didn't must be deported. That kind of stupidy doesn't help force Republicans to get a backbone as it may keep the voting public somewhat on trump side, which happened on 2024.
At the same time ICE's execution is so piss-poor including ignoring habius corps, ignoring court orders, snd killing US citizens Republicans without backbone cannot delay their reckoning overly long.
Indeed republican congressman are uniquely positioned to effect law+funding to deport lawfully, to require operational control at the border, and to mark off limits those that are here legally and do something about the multi-year backlog in cases. And importantly hold the executive branch in check.
I think that is intentional, based on some bizarre reasoning somewhere in the Project 2025 docs.
