Moody's: GOP budget proposal would destroy the economy.
GOP budget proposal would increase likelihood of recession and cost the US 780,000 jobs. As usual, Republicans are incapable of managing a budget.
US Republican Debt Ceiling Plan Would Slow Growth: Moody's
The plan proposed by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to raise the US debt ceiling in exchange for cuts in government spending would slow growth and cut employment, Moody's Analytics said in a note Monday.
According to the ratings agency's research arm, if the draft presented by McCarthy on April 17 were passed as is, it would lead to a drop of 0.6 percentage points in US potential growth for 2024, as well as the elimination of 780,000 jobs.
Unemployment would reach 4.6 percent, against 3.5 percent in March 2023, as compared to a scenario in which a new ceiling was approved without conditions.
President Joe Biden has called for such a "clean" lifting of the US borrowing limit, arguing that the deficit spending has already been approved by Congress and therefore not up for debate.
This budget will cause great harm to the American population that is most in need and would destroy our ability to compete with China. This could lead to our defeat in a future war. The gop is treasonous to the core.
