Same old shell game up there on The Hill and The debt ceiling is the one that will kill us all when it comes to America's Reserve currency because The Federal Reserve is raising rates to stem the tide'

I am afraid the The Federal Reserve bag of tricks is not going to work this time around! Hang around and watch the show even if you have no choice in the matter!

Now in the White House, Trump proceeds to push programs and policies that contradict many of his promises. He is ballooning an already massive, bloated military budget by cutting the health and safety budgets of consumer, environmental and labor regulatory agencies and housing and energy assistance. Reportedly he wants to cut one billion dollars out of the budget of the Centers for Disease Control that works to detect and prevent global epidemics! Just today, the Congressional Budget Office announced that under the proposed Republican Health Plan, 24 million people will lose health care by 2026. Apparently he is oblivious to the perils of Avian Flu, SARS, Ebola and Zika threatening our national security and the health and lives of millions of people.

There is more to this emerging betrayal. Trump is supporting Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's "you're on your own, folks" devastating health insurance plan. Slash and burn Ryan, comfortably fully insured by the taxpayers, publicly admits he doesn't know how many people will lose their health insurance. Imagine the impact of strip-mining Medicaid on the poor - nearly 70 million, including many children, are on that program. Runaway Ryan even fantasizes over going after Medicare next and corporatize it.

Republicans such as Mick Mulvaney, the new director of Trump's Office of Management and Budget, argue that these measures are necessary for "efficiency." Yet neither Trump, nor Mulvaney, nor Ryan, nor Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have ever gone after $60 billion in business fraud on Medicare each year. The Congressional Government Accountability Office's (GAO) reports ten percent of all health care spending is drained away by computer billing fraud and abuse. That would be about $340 billion this year alone - an estimate considered rock bottom by the nation's leading expert on health care billing fraud - Professor Malcolm Sparrow of Harvard University.

    Does Trump have to pay rent to live in your head?
