TRIGGER ECONOMICS

@Margoandhow Powerful incentives 4 Super Congress 2 reach agreement. If can’t cut $1.2 tril, or either House rejects, severe cuts trigger automatically.

@LisaDCNN

@HeyRatty
looking out window, Financial District is ensconced in fog. It’s also disgustingly muggy. Might have to pull trigger on Central A/C.
