About this episode
Kevin McCarthy and his band of economic terrorists continue to hold the U.S. and world economies hostage, demanding spending cuts that would gut the entire U.S. government and leave the most needy Americans in gravest jeopardy. The president continues to negotiate but also has had to head off to the G7 meeting in Japan to keep our allies from panicking in the face of our dysfunctional political system. But even if we dodge this bullet, damage has been done and the future of the dollar looks less certain. Ed Luce of the Financial Times and host David Rothkopf discuss where this can lead and what it all may mean for China, Ukraine, and other major international concerns.
