Let’s not kid ourselves, trump would be doing a better job than Biden. He’s a complete waste of space.

Hrs not doing a good job, but it has to be better than a deranged, lying, deceitful, homophobic, racist, narcissist surely?Do you honestly think sleepy joe is doing a good job?
The figures are in and they say yes. If you think any different you’re basing that purely on personal emotion and not indisputable facts and critical thinking.Do you honestly think sleepy joe is doing a good job?

I’d be amazed if Biden doesn’t run - the only thing stopping him is a serious medical episode, and it’s hard to say that’s likely in the next six or seven months. Newsom and the rest of the Democrats thinking of running have every incentive to sit this one out and try in 2028. There’s very little upside to breaking ranks, certainly not 12 months out.Biden's not going to have any say in it is he.
Newsom will be the Dem nomination and with his track record, that’s more good news for the GOP.

The only clear winner is Neither of the above. But that is not how the system works. I am not sure what it would take for Biden to be persuaded not to stand, just that it has not got to that point yet. There are polls like this and I assume if they become the norm that might be enough?I’d be amazed if Biden doesn’t run - the only thing stopping him is a serious medical episode, and it’s hard to say that’s likely in the next six or seven months.

The best thing for the GOP is if the Dems are able to jail Trump. Best thing for the Dems is if Biden keels over, they somehow need to move the VP along as well as she is even lower in the polls.
If Trump gets jailed it won’t be because the Dems have done it, it will be because he’s finally been caught out and even a legal establishment heavily dominated by Republicans (largely because of Trump) can’t fudge the law of the land for him. It looks like his chickens are finally coming home to roost.
What do you think the US govt should do? I don’t think a Trump administration is going to care much about the deficit!Annualised government debt interest payments have now reached $1trn

Not really an issue for a sovereign currency issuer like the US. They can always pay the debt they just need to manage the residual inflationary impact.Annualised government debt interest payments have now reached $1trn

It looks like they are given their inflation rate is relatively low and just above the long term target

Final salary schemes aren't a thing in the public sector anymore either, it's only those who have retired who have one.This is not really a US sole issue but there is a massive amount of hidden debt in the system. Final salary schemes are rare in the Private sector but not in the Public sector and Politicians being what Politicians are have grossly underfunded, push the can down the road. Social Security ditto, somebody I know has an interesting issue of aged parents in UK and their Spouse in the US, what to do.
Will there be a gradual decline or a sudden bust, I have no idea.
