Centrist Dems Explore ‘Secret’ Deal to Raise Debt Limit: With House Republicans so far unable to agree on a proposal to slash federal spending in exchange for helping to raise the debt limit, a group of centrist Democrats is reportedly working on a fallback plan to avoid a potentially ruinous default on the nation’s debt.

Mar 8, 2023 – What will happen if the country defaults on the national debt? Under both scenarios, the U.S. credit rating would be downgraded, the dollar would be put in jeopardy and the cost of floating debt for both the American private sector and government would rise. The first scenario is a technical default, which is defined as an extended period of nonpayment of some or all U.S. financial responsibilities. Based on our shock model, a technical default would double the current unemployment rate of 3.4% to near 7%, tip the economy into recession within six months and, following a short bout of disinflation, result in a more persistent bout of inflation accompanied by a deterioration in the fiscal condition of the economy. The second scenario would be an actual default, in which the government, out of money, stops paying its obligations. It would be an unfettered economic catastrophe. Our model indicates that unemployment would surge above 12% in the first six months, the economy would contract by more than 10%, triggering a deep and lasting recession, and inflation would soar toward 11% over the next year

Trump Wants to Turn His Most Toxic Baggage Into Primary Gold: If anything, Trump’s criminal indictment in Manhattan has only supercharged the ex-president’s plans to weaponize Jan. 6. Underneath the surface, largely at the urging of an increasingly influential Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) , according to Republicans familiar with their conversations, Trump has prepared for his unprecedented legal conundrum by tying it to the sense of “political persecution” that is widely felt within the MAGA base in the aftermath of Jan. 6.

The Cold War at HHS: A cold war is underway at Health and Human Services. There is an interagency cold war between the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at the Department of Health and Human Services. FDA wants to approve promising treatments for patients faster. CMS is more interested in avoiding costs and restricting patient access. After years of taking heavy criticism from patient organizations, particularly in ultra-rare disease, the FDA has become more responsive to the needs of patients.
