Transcript
what we need to do is just bend our fiscal curve from being unsustainable to being sustainable and if we can do that it'll have a huge impact on the economy the thing that probably hurt the Democrats the most was inflation voters clearly do not like the diminishment of their purchasing power but how do you stop inflation you have to raise interest rates and that's not good either because that raises the cost of a mortgage the cost of a car payment is bad for investment High interest rates are also bad for the economy so how do you get out of that box where you either have high inflation or high interest rates the only way is to bend the fiscal curve to that more sustainable path and
if you can do that the bond markets will actually give you credit for it in advance right now we're un sustainable the bond markets know it inflation remains persistently High the FED has not been able to cut interest rates the way that they expected to if Doge working with the rest of the government can now convince the markets that the US Financial picture is more sustainable we'll get credit for that interest rates will come down and that'll lead to a boom in the economy so it's all win-win if they can pull this off
