Jeffrey Sachs

All the Democrats voted against her. This is crazy. She was their colleague for decades. She stood up for things that they should be applauding her for. Every one of them voted against her. She was the vice chairman of the DNC.

Look, this is very early days because we're just a little over three weeks into this. But if yesterday turns into policy, which it could, and the Ukraine war ends soon, which it could, you're going to see everybody changing their views. Oh, I didn't support that. Peace is great. The European leaders are going to be saying the opposite of what they're saying right now.

Look, in 100 politicians anyway, three think the rest line up somewhere tactically. So yes, they will change their view. They'll complain about other things. That's their job. They're in the opposition. But this war. was a disastrous, stupid project that went awry, should have ended, makes no sense.

And if Trump pulls it off as he can, if he's resolute now and clear-minded and Witkoff does his work, because he'll be the one to do it, it looks like, and he does his work, then this won't be talked about or complained about. This will... pass into history is just another one of those blunders.

I mean, we don't talk about the 2003 Iraq war, the 20 years waste in Afghanistan or so many, Libya, so many completely ridiculous projects that America has been involved in for no conceivable reason other than these weird game of risk ideas. We got to own that space on the board. Turns out, the world and that game board are rather different.

But if Trump pulls this off, what he needs, I think, and what we need to understand is the American scene It ain't great in general. The budget deficit is enormous. The fragility of society is actually quite significant. There is lots of depression, lots of violence, lots of problems that haven't been addressed for 30 years. Big, big budget deficit. Huge. can't be solved.

With all due respect to Elon, the budget deficit has very little to do with the size of the civil service. That's not where the budget deficit comes from. That's not where the spending comes from. Spending comes from 750 overseas military bases, from wars, from massive outlays, of course, on pensions, on health care, on interest payments, on the debt, and so forth. So War derails all of that.
