The real risk to holders of U.S. debt is not the government's heavy reliance on borrowing or the deep political divisions in Washington. It's the weakening U.S. economy. Until very recently, most forecasters were expecting the pace of economic growth to pick up in the second half of the year. But despite a surprisingly strong showing from the job market in July, a string of disappointing data has prompted many economists to slash their growth targets. “Whatever (economic) growth you thought you were going to get as of a month ago, it is quite reasonable to expect less as of today,” Credit Suisse chief econmist Neil Soss said in a weekend conference call with repoters and investors. The central issue behind the Standard and Poor's decision late Friday to downgrade the government's AAA credit rating was the level of government debt, relative to the size of the U.S.

“The Brown Round-Up”: The Racist Chain Letter Terrorizing an Oregon County
Mother Jones, Sunday - 12/22/2024 - 04:57 PM
Trump’s mass deportation agenda is already taking shape—for a second time—in coastal Oregon. A racist letter reportedly circulating through Lincoln County, which has a population of about 50,000 people and is located on the state’s western coast, encourages residents to surveil and report “brown illegals…who you suspect are here in our country on an illegal basis” to the Department of Homeland Security. The letter implores white locals to help facilitate “the largest round-up of brown illegals in our history,” referring to Trump’s pledge to begin mass deportations of approximately 11 million people, and promises white residents a chance to seize the victims’ homes. In starkly racist language, it proceeds to outline a dystopian vision for surveillance of people of color everywhere from churches to schools and grocery stores: Sit in your church’s parking lot and write down the license plate [number] of brown folks.
