Интересная (и бесплатная) статья в НЙ Таймс о том как (не забываем - республиканский!) Конгресс отразил попытки Трампа урезать федеральные расходы. Вот картинка оттуда:

In a little-noticed development, lawmakers have systematically brushed off many of Mr. Trump’s most severe cuts for this fiscal year, leaving intact a vast set of federal education, health, housing and research programs that the White House had tried to slash or eliminate.

For Mr. Trump, the result is a set of annual government expenses that do not appear radically different on paper compared with what he inherited in January 2025. Overall, Congress is on track to approve more than $1.6 trillion in discretionary spending for 2026, amounting to little change from the previous fiscal year, according to a preliminary analysis of federal budget records by the Penn Wharton Budget Model, a nonpartisan research organization.

The finer details are apparent in the complicated legislation that Congress enacted between November and February. Targeting primarily domestic programs, Mr. Trump had originally recommended about $163 billion in deep spending cuts. But lawmakers often did not abide, and in the end, some of the funding that the president had tried to erase — including for medical research, college aid and benefits for poor people — instead changed only slightly, the data show.

Mr. Trump still prevailed in other ways, most notably in his efforts to scale back the size and reach of government by ousting thousands of federal workers. Still, the outcome on Capitol Hill underscores the complex and fraught politics of austerity: Where the president sees evidence of spending that is woke, weaponized or wasteful, his critics in both parties see money that is essential to their communities and the broader economy.

At times, the difficult dynamic has put the White House at odds with some congressional Republicans, many of whom are up for re-election this November. That has only reinforced Mr. Trump’s desire to circumvent lawmakers altogether, using a series of contested and potentially illegal maneuvers to revoke billions in congressionally approved spending that the president disfavors.

Без связи с деталями этих эпических батлов, как вы сами видите ситуацию с госдолгом? Стабильная линейная фаза, или уже здраствуй мейдофф?

Ну и как выглядит наша ситуация по сравнению с предыдущей историей суверенных печатных станков?

Формально вроде проблем нет: Фед купит все казначейские облигации даже если останется единственным покупателем. Но есть ощущение что что-то здесь не так радужно.

Ну доллар уже ронять начали и так.

Мейдофф (в смыслье финала) не подходит по дргуой причине -- потому как иногда государства просто объявляют дефолт и какое-то время пенсию у себя дома (не)выплачивают сами без помощи иностранных фондов.

Внушает некоторый оптимизм. Конечно, им же выборы выиграть охота. Ну... посмотрим.
