Fun fact: Brits are called limies instead of lemonies because Parliament explicitly chose not to fight scurvy with lemons even though they were more effective. The Lords thought their sailors' health wasn't worth the extra money. Limes were good enough.
What's being discussed is also kind of odd - swapping USD for Yuan (?) so the UAE can trade 7mmu in USD. The monetary gymnastics themselves are a problem. Worse such a trade would be another opportunity for corruption - like the swap w Argentina.

If the US had honest negotiators . . .
100 per cent of the Dems I know who didn't vote did so because of Israel. Just saying. I sure as heck voted.
That's approximately $8,000 per taxpayer. Republicans have cost my household thousands - $2,000+ for tariffs (electronics are killing us), food inflation (local chicken went up by 20% *this week*!), a tax system increasingly tilted against the not-rich, 10%-28% insurance increases, and now this

Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China & $0 in federal income taxes to the US. At least 88 highly profitable corporations paid $0 federal income tax last year while bringing in $ billions. Disney, CVS, Palantir, Taco Bell & others are making massive profits, paying executives enormous ⬇️
Equity markets wound, bond markets kill. We will certainly have a severe fiscal / debt crisis if Republicans don't come to their senses very soon. We cannot erode our tax base while increasing debt by *$1 trillion per quarter* and expect to emerge unscathed.
