Ah, Republicans. They make a huge deal about spending any time they are not in power and then spending like a drunk Sailor when in power.
For healthcare? Education? Can’t possibly imagine what …
Maybe they are secretly building a super efficient and expansive social safety net behind our backs and making it a surprise!!!
interest payments on the debt are expected to exceed $1 trillion this year
If my finger-counting math is right ye yanks, on average (including children), are paying ~$250 a month just in interests… I ain’t no economist but that seems like a lot.
It’s actually worse than this if you just consider the number of working adults.
Which is about 165 million.
Which means every working adult is paying ~$500/m just on the interest.
Which… Isn’t working, at all, the US is cooked.
I just saw a study that said if Trump continued on at this rate, he will be responsible for 55% of the national debt. And that was BEFORE the Iran War.
When we get these psychopaths out, and start to rebuild, we already know that they’ll suddenly get fiscally conservative, and they’ll pretend to be concerned about spending.
When that happens, just take theirs away. THEY are responsible for the debt, so if it bothers them so much, they should be the ones to make the sacrifice to pay it back.
Republican administration completely fucks up the budget, leaves office with massive deficit
Democrat administration spends the next 4 years cleaning up that clusterfuck
GOP tells it’s dumbfuck base that it’s all the Dems fault that their 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 gets 8 mpg and they’re gonna fix everything
Dumbfuck republican voters fall for it, yet again, because they never passed the 9th grade and have been huffing diesel exhaust for the past 20 years
Dumbfuck masses rally and vote in another Republican administration
That cycle has gone on repeat over and over and over again for literally my entire lifetime. It’s all I know. That has been my experience with with the US government, for my whole life.
I’m tired, boss.
Bigger shock is that somebody loaned him anything since his bankruptcies have been public knowledge for decades
It’s the federal reserve loaning the government money, there’s no way they’re paying for all this in bond auctions.
Still makes him a larcenous thief
I mean ya he’s handing himself money and handing your grandchildren debt. They’ve been doing this around the clock since 2008. The government only exists to help billionaires steal your hard earned money.
Jokes on them, ain’t no kids to have geandkids
None of us are which is funny as fuck, but one of us will be the last generation of old farts with no kids to take care of us.
It’s certainly on my mind. I figure, I’ll keep going as long as my wife’s alive, she’s worth the struggle. Once she’s gone, it may be time for a revolving cylinder style exit
Sounds like there needs to be some sort of efficiency department set up
We can call it the Department Of Grifting Everyone
