In CNBC intvw, Howard Schultz keeps coming back to the debt as an animating issue: “The political class as a whole, not only this administration, has been reckless, specifically with regard to the $21 trillion in debt and not being as fiscally conservative as we need to be.”

Donald Trump 'considered invading Venezuela', reports say
US president briefed not to mention the topic at dinner with leaders from four Latin American allies – but he did so anyway
...
Then in September, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Mr Trump discussed it again, this time at greater length, in a private dinner with leaders from four Latin American allies that included Mr Santos and the same three officials, it was reported.
The US official said Mr Trump was specifically briefed not to raise the issue and was told it wouldn’t play well, but the first thing the president said at the dinner was: “My staff told me not to say this.”
Mr Trump then went around asking each leader if they were sure they didn’t want a military solution, according to the official, who added that each leader told Mr Trump in clear terms they were sure.
...
But among Venezuela’s beleaguered opposition movement, hostility to the idea of a military intervention has slowly eased.
A few weeks after Mr Trump’s public comments, Harvard economics professor Ricardo Hausmann, a former Venezuelan planning minister, wrote a syndicated column titled “D Day Venezuela”, in which he called for a “coalition of the willing” made up of regional powers and the US to step in and support militarily a government appointed by the opposition-led national assembly.
Mark Feierstein, who oversaw Latin America on the National Security Council during the Obama administration, said that strident US action on Venezuela, however commendable, won’t loosen Mr Maduro’s grip on power if it’s not accompanied by pressure from the streets.
However, he thinks Venezuelans have largely been demoralised after a crackdown on protests last year triggered dozens of deaths, and the threat of more repression has forced dozens of opposition leaders into exile.
“People inside and outside the administration know they can ignore plenty of what Trump says,” Mr Feierstein, who is now a senior adviser at the Albright Stonebridge Group, said of Mr Trump’s talk of military invasion of Venezuela.
“The concern is that it raised expectations among Venezuelans, many of whom are waiting for an external actor to save them.”
