The same type of people who caused the Great Depression are in control of the government again, so let them do what they did then. Yes, Americans may suffer, but remember that we came out of that depression with a new appreciation of the working men and women of this country.
I agree with most of what the author suggests, but for the part where Democrats should step in and stop the US from going into default.
Both of these situations will come up over the next few weeks. On Jan. 1, 2025, the debt ceiling kicks back in, so one of the first jobs for the new Congress will be raising the borrowing limit. Since an American debt default would be a disaster from which we might never fully recover, Democrats need to prevent that at all costs. If that means backing House Speaker Mike Johnson when Republicans won’t — as it very well might — Democrats should be prepared to do that.
Never is a long time; the longer it lasts, the longer that Americans will remember what the Republican Party did.
