I was going to make some joke, but instead I’m just going to talk about being heartbroken.

Because if, by some miracle, we get more anti-establishment elected officials in 2028, their policies would most assuredly destroy the country. Not because those policies are bad, but because the safety nets that would have absorbed the market shock were destroyed by this administration.

HOW is this Possible? We ELIMINATED all of my VA Benefits, my Child's Education and School Lunch, SNAP Benefits, Healthcare and Infrastructure Funding! SURELY that gives us Enough Money for Billionaire Tax Breaks and Wars?

He's bankrupting the country like he bankrupted all his other businesses.

Guys, it'll trickle down any second now.

The debt is trickling down. Every dollar you give as taxes goes towards that debt and war machine. Since rich don't pay taxes all the debt payment is yours.

Even if you don't pay income taxes; sales tax, property tax, tariff is a payment towards the debt.

Get an umbrella, you know what is trickling down...

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Unfortunately, the only part that trickles down is the bankruptcy part.

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

We were already bankrupt long before he took office.

If only The FED would print more money and fix everything! Please save us, Fed, from the money

p.s. the fed are all bankers who work for private banking, before and after their fed "term".

The debt is intentionally created. It is all fake. When you tax the rich, you can easily pay all of the debt. Actually, if you want to pay the debt, you can do it right away, because all debt is in us dollars. You can print it. No problem. The problem is, we are believing all these stupid lies about economy. The debt is taken from a citizen already, most of it is taken from the rich, tax them and that is it, all the debt is paid!

You can't print more money to pay off debt.

[-] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago

If only there were some helpful historical examples of printing more money to pay off debt and seeing how that might play out

Billionaires took all the money. I suppose that's why they're billionaires.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 12 hours ago

Nah they all worked really hard for 68.000 years.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

The house we bought is more than 3x our annual income, and our budget works ok so I don't think the absolute size of it is the problem, the problem is more that it's not being paid off, and that the money spent went into the pockets of the super-rich, and into bombs and all sorts of other counter-productive purchases.

As long as MAGA continues to run the USA, the failure(s) will grow exponentially.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

This is intentional. Crash the economy, then use that as an excuse to shutter every social program and public good. In ride the corporations on their white horse to offer us those same services, for a price. Can't afford the new prices for using the highway, fire protection, your kid's school? No problem, just sign here and your great-grandkids will still be down your debt.

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

This is also when they buy everything for minimal prices, increasing their own equity!

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

This is the little asterisk next to "republicans was small government*"

*cut the government agencies who exist to work within a budget and replace them with private companies who exist solely to generate profit...that they use to pay us.
