We need to seriously prepare a plan to hit the ground running if Trump does pull this one out. I raise some concerns about personnel choices, congressional leadership, and the upcoming lame-duck session. Trump must make it clear that Congress should not pass any transformational bills during the lame duck and that all disaster spending must be paid for with unspent funds from the Green New Deal. Next, I break down the tab for this past fiscal year to show how nobody has a plan to stop the deficit-driven inflation from exploding in the next year — and that Republicans will own all the carnage. So why not start building a plan now?
