Loading ...If the raising of the debt ceiling stalls and the government shutdown looks like it will drag out for a long time—and-on a separate matter–tax reform looks unlikely to pass in 2017…and if Trumps agenda appears to be failing…then maybe the $ and the stock mkt would start falling…and haven’t we heard for a longtime that “they” want to crash the stock mkt and economy under Trumps watch–[don’t ask me who “they” are cause I dunno]-if all that comes to pass, maybe gold might make a run…as faith in banks and the financial system is questioned. I do not expect a repeat of golds performance like in 2008-when gold collapsed along with paper.
Remember the Koch bros. hate Trumps guts–and they are the real power behind the throne in America via their ALEC entity—and they may want to sabotage his presidency.
In a last-minute effort to sink the Republican health care bill, a powerful network of conservative donors said Wednesday it would create a new fund for Republican 2018 reelection races — but they’ll only open it up to GOPers who vote against the bill.
The advocacy groups helmed by Charles and David Koch have unveiled a new pool of money for advertisements, field programs and mailings that would exclude those who vote for the health care bill they oppose on Thursday. The effort, which they described as worth millions of dollars, is an explicit warning to on-the-fence Republicans from one of the most influential players in electoral politics not to cross them.
The Koch-aligned networks oppose the bill because they think it does not do enough to scale back former President Barack Obama’s health care policies.
