It’s so hilarious and absurd that the GOP beats their chest so hard about being “the party of fiscal responsibility” - but only when they’re the opposition party.

Quick, let's cut taxes even further! We have people to kill in the middle east!
I am certain that we can find other places to start wars as well
I'm not entirely certain that the administration will have the juice to start shit with Cuba let alone Greenland after they flubbed Iran so bad.
This Iran thing is never going to end by the way. Even when it ends it won't end, Israel will reach across the border for whatever pretexts for domestic political reasons. This is a Forever War.
But the president wants to start shit with Greenland for the express purposes of pulling us out of NATO, and that is why he is trying to increase the military budget to 1.5 trillion, to make up for all the arms sales they would lose pulling out of NATO.
It really is like that.
Where are all those fiscal conservative deficit hawks I keep hearing about?
Except this time we dont have jack shit to export?
Untrue, you're still exporting MAGA variety conservatism and apparently there's demand for it, because there are plenty of people importing.
And bombs, I hear you've exported some to Iran.
Why do you think a war was started for no reason
95% of domestic manufacturing that remains is military shit. Can’t have China do the injection molding and machining for your top secret bombs meant to do genocide
And more than half of that debt was created by..... Trump
Well yeah, they're attempting to squeeze every cent while simultaneously killing the dollar, then switch over to something crypto backed. Screenshot this comment.
Fed is screwed and still printing $40B/wk for “liquidity” on US treasuries because the market doesn’t want our debt.
Can’t raise interest rates to control inflation or the weak economy (when you exclude AI) gets crushed and interest on the debt explodes. Most of our debt is on short end bills so we feel the burn the moment that interest rates rise.
Can’t lower rates or inflation soars even higher.
I would ensure you have some hard assets. The money printers are whirring and devaluing dollars seems to be the most likely exit strategy in the long run.
Not financial advice. I’m a fool.
it is designed by gop to assign blame to the next DEM(totally complicit as far as DInos goes) administration like they always do,.
did you notice the current shutdown has never hit the airwaves at all, the MSMs realizes the last on scared even the republican voters, so they dint report this one at all. anything to avoid the epstein files.
Why does this keep coming up like it just happened?
We hit a 100% debt/GDP ratio in 2012.
We hit 125% in 2020 during COVID.
You're welcome for the tax cuts, billionaires who will just fly to some other country when things get a little toasty.
So one more lil happy accident & USA hits the prestigious investment grade of BBB+ (it's a joke but the dollar has been sorta artificially/imperially prompted up, and the purchasing power of USA goods & services has need starched pretty thin ...).
