An old joke: If you owe the bank a thousand dollars, it's your problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, it's the bank's problem.

Apparently we now know what it takes to become the world's problem.

The petrodollar is the only thing that props up Republicans "economic theory" and they seem entirely confused as to it's real value. Unless you assume they're all economic masterminds rather than degenerate gamblers.

Soft power is no fun. Let’s send in missiles and aircraft carriers otherwise we’re not making America great.

Trump just needs to mint a 39T coin with his face on it.
