I’m not going to take anything the Heritage Foundation says seriously
When I saw Heritage, my response flipped to NOPE. But I thought, charitably, hey give 'em a chance. LoL, NO. The 3rd take away point “cut spending” is right out of austerity thinking, which has been disproven. Buncha cranks. Spending without taxation to back it up, sure that’s problematic. And so is cutting spending ‘will he, nill he’. Funny how they never talk about cutting military spending. smh.
I’m out of the loop. What did HF do to make you not take them seriously?
It’s a right-wing think tank who, among many other things, are the architects of project 2025.
Ah, enough said. Thanks.
Japan should just try communism. I hear it works great and then you can cozy up with your neighbors of Russia and China.

A Japanese communist movement literally tried, they were put down by fascists.
Also Russia isn’t communist lol
I just mean it’ll give them access to this block. I don’t think liberals in Japan will jump ship with the west
Hmmmm……interesting……yes….something something……absolutely fascinating……so, rich people money……blah blah blah is ……at risk, it says and… something something……no solution……unless …… they take money from poor people”
Good. Donald Biden (or Joe Trump) have turned the USD and US debt into a dumpster fire. The sooner other countries dump it the better their finances will be.
They’d never do it if it’d hurt USA so badly. They rely strongly on them on many fields, including military support
Can someone ELI5?
Japanese investors hold a large chunk of US bonds. With the yen rallying against the dollar and US rates being high, they’re looking to dump their bonds because otherwise they’re going to start losing money on them.
Oh and the implication is that that could further devalue US bonds. Got ya, thanks.
