"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

One of the data points that made me somewhat optimistic about tariffs is that in Trump 1 he was actually fairly responsive to markets, looking at them as a sort of scorecard. But recent evidence shows this may not be the case anymore.
