Stop the Hammering Curious. Watched Laurence "Stop the Hammering" this morning (show from last night). Never do that but the title on his scrim read "Trump is Running Scared" made me laugh as Trump seems to me the very opposite. So armed with my spidey suit I took a gander over to the other side to see what nonsense they were spewing.  Unsurprisingly, the hammering was largely incoherent and full of pomposity as usual (much like Obama's recent stumps). And also like Obama, Laurence hammered on about how Trump's economic policies increased the national debt. I started to recall all the stories this week about the National Debt and so I wonder why now when it hasn't been mentioned for so long, Now I'm no economist--but if the Fed raises the interest rate, doesn't that increase the national debt? And hasn't Trump been fighting with the Fed and didn't the Fed just raise the interest rate and hence the National Debt? And now they're trying to utilize this for the mid-terms? I mean, it's such an obvious ploy, is it not?
