Actually, it appears he was faking making good on it. Just a show for the rubes.

New nation, new ideas: A study finds immigrants out-innovate native-born Americans

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2...born-americans

These racist MAGAMoron asshats don't care. They'd drive the economy over a cliff to exclude immigrants.

The U.S. economy is again being held hostage to our ridiculous federal debt ceiling
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/colum...213810268.html

Quote:
The individuals in charge of U.S. fiscal policy are often thought to be among the most sober people in the world, so you may be wondering why we're suddenly hearing ideas such as the minting of a trillion-dollar platinum coin or selling $100 face-value Treasury bonds for $200.

Sadly, the answer is simple: Infantile poseurs in the House Republican majority are threatening to block an increase in the federal debt ceiling. Again.

Republican brinkmanship over the debt ceiling has become almost an annual affair. It regularly causes shudders in the financial markets and warnings that provoking a federal default on Treasury securities — presumably the ultimate consequence of a long-term standoff — will have dire effects for Americans in all walks of life and for global economic stability.
Whell's World. A world of ignorance.
