Down goes the budget spiral

Murphy: "Moody's just downgraded the US. They didn't do that under Biden, they did it under Trump, bc they look at this bill- the attack on the middle class, the diminution of spending power that comes with it, and the deficits – & say that if implemented, it's is gonna make the economy much weaker"

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."
