In one of the greatest ironies in politics Democrat leadership is now advocating a Government shutdown in order to stop funding for a wall on the Mexico-US border.
The US is already saturated in debt… due to our financing a staggering amount of social entitlement spending which comprises 64% of the Federal Budget.
The Fed managed to “paper over” the weakest recovery in 80 years with massive QE programs. As a result of this, for the last seven years, stocks "slept" through weak economic fundamentals. But not anymore...
In order to avoid a Government shutdown/ potential repeat of the 2013 Debt Ceiling Crisis, the same Congress that cannot even get an Obamacare Repeal off the ground is supposed to somehow work out a budget in a HANDFUL of sessions.
