... and no one seems to care. If this were an individual, or even a company, people would be in jail.
Republicans only care about the debt when there is a (D) next to the name of the Prez. LOL. Give it a rest, my doofish friend.
This has been an issue under pretty much every president.
It's not about who's president. It's about the 4 trillion dollars the Democrats want to pocket out of the wallets of you and me.
You don't like the republicans. That's fine. But why are you not outraged that your side is spending 250,000 of your dollars every year, ON TOP of the debt we already owe?
Do you have that kind of money? If not, YOU should be concerned. Regardless of which politicians are or aren't.
You can say the republicans don't really care. I'd tend to agree with you on that.
But at least they are voting no while the Democrats demand more and more trillions for what?
Bridges don't cost that much, and the money obviously isn't going to that anyways.
And yet, you only bring up the Democrats spending. You don't give a shit about spending, you only care about how Democrats spend.
Want to know some people don't care? Because Republicans don't give a shit either. So you want Democrats to not pursue their legislative agenda because Republicans criticize their spending, but Republicans can spend on all manner of bullshit and you're ok with that.
You keep trying to say we should be concerned about DEMOCRATS spending, but act like Republicans don't do the same shit. It's outright hypocrisy and NO ONE is going to take your complaints about Democrat spending when you conveniently avoid criticizing Republicans for literally the same thing. This is why no one takes Republicans claim of being "fiscally conservative" seriously... because it only applies when it's Democrats spending. You're trying to pull some "both sidesism" bullshit, but you only call out Democrats. Until you have the integrity to say the same about Republicans, your critiques of the Democrats are absolute hypocritical bullshit.
@supercutebutt Absolutely. What they call "Republicans" anyway. Truth of the matter is , both parties bad for America, as they've both been corrupted by lobbyists/special interest.
That being said, Democrats aren't even attempting to hide what they're doing. Which is to bankrupt and starve America because they won't agree to tow the line of a One World Governance. Now our (so-called) representative's are punishing us in plain sight.
The Trumpanzees cling to their false idol, like he can do anything about it. Was he not the first to push "Get Vaxxed?" They do this either because they don't know, or don't have the stomach to admit what comes next.
Funny how there no mention of the perpetual increase in defense spending which makes up a ridiculous portion of the national budget, is more money than the next 16 or so countries and is almost entirely supported by Republicans.
It’s a joke to listen to any right winger talk about the Democrats and the budget.
By the way, I do think Democrats need to chill the fuck out, but Republicans don’t have ANY standing on which to say anything about the budget.
I actually did mention that in a comment.
If we cut the military budget in half we could double everything else we do and still spend more money than China who has way more people.
Bush was an idiot. Obama lied. Trump actually ended the way, and then Biden made a mess of it, left 80 billion dollars worth of high tech military gear behind for the Taliban and then literally wanted to send them a check.
So, I'm interested to hear how you think the Democratic aren't the ones throwing money away. 🤦🏼♂️
*Democrats. I don't know why my phone always does that.
A lot of republicans are idiots. But most Democrats support the ridiculous wars too. It's 50/50 there if you take Trump out of the equation because he isn't real in either camp.
Obama had 8 years to end the war. He didn't. Trump was set to do it in 5. Biden didn't do a better job, not to mention he was in the Whitehouse for the whole 8 years Obama was president and did nothing to end the way.
I honestly think they fucked up that badly on purpose then intentionally bombed children to make an excuse to keep people on the ground over there.
It had nothing to do with helping people. They are laundering trillioms of tax dollars through DoD contracts.
Obama and Biden did it for 8 years. Trump literally didn't take the $300,000 salary.
McConnel is as corrupt and dishonest as Joe Biden. But shit, at least they are more up front about it.
The democrats flat out lie and trick people into thinking they are going to spend $3.5 trillion building bridges and not raise taxes or the deficit when in reality they are giving trillions to their friends all over the US, China, and even less trustworthy groups at our expense.
The republicans are WAY more likely to vote for less government and less spending. And WAY more likely to actually end wars and DEFEND Instead killing kids and throwing money away.
I know a guy who was a marine under Obama. He told me they made him shoot unarmed children in their homes and stack their bodies up to be counted.
Milly is an unelected democrat pet who ignored the president and tried to take personal control of the military under Trump. The locked a marine up for just telling the truth about what happened.
They don't care about poor people in the middle east any more than the people they fined hundreds for not being able to afford health Insurance.
They are frauds, scammers and worse. They love "spending" that's their code word for they take our money and keep it, then borrow from us to pay for their schemes.
I am more than happy to talk about the military spending. Absolutely agree that is the biggest piece of the problem.
Bush was an idiot. How? Because he took us on a bullshit scavenger hunt for WMD that weren't there? Yes, that was definitely a waste of money.
Obama lies? How? I'm not sure what you're referring to with that one.
Trump actually ended the war? By negotiating with terrorists and promising them we would leave. Not exactly a good move, so I don't know why you're saying this like it was a good thing. I mean just look at everything that's happening now with Biden pulling out. It's chaos that BOTH are responsible for. Trump for making a STUPID FUCKING DEAL and Biden for actually following through with Trump's STUPID FUCKING DEAL.
Biden didn't make a mess of it you fucking idiot, the entire deal was a fucking mess to begin with, and it was created by TRUMP. Biden's stupidity was to actually follow through with Trump's STUPID plan, but it was entirely devised by Trump. You say all this shit about Biden leaving all this equipment behind. That was LITERALLY Trump's negotiation you moron.
"So, I'm interested to hear how you think the Democratic aren't the ones throwing money away. "
Where the fuck did I say this? I literally told you the Democrats need to chill the fuck out. But this notion that Democrats are "throwing money away" but that Republicans spending habits is somehow not also "throwing money away" is asinine, Trump cocksucker, partisan bullshit.

Obama promised to end the war. He and Biden made no moves to do so in 8 years. Trump actually did it. Biden chose to take the troops out before the civilians and leave $80,000,000,000 in high tech military equipment behind.
The rest of that doesn't even justify a response.
I actually campaigned for Obama and hated Trump at first. But, I pay attention to the results and not just my personal bias.
Trump didn't negotiate with the Taliban. Biden is the one who wants to send them millions of tax dollars.
Let's talk about wasting money because you don't want to talk about negotiating with terrorists.
the left want everyone to be poor, but the ones who will run the one party. This is how the USSR union worked.
You Trump cocksuckers are truly the stupidest people in the world. Democrats want to give everyone free money and welfare... but also want everyone to be poor. What a fucking idiot you are.
That math sounds off. That would suggest that the annual deficit is in the neighborhood of $82 trillion. It's more like $3 trillion. Still a lot, but let's not get overly dramatic about it.
I think you got your decimal wrong and it's 82 billion.
If you can show me the mistake I'll edit the post but I checked many times.
Pretty sure you misplaced a decimal.
It's actually just a lot worse than you think.
2,000,000*60*24*365=1,051,200,000,000
If you're right about it being 3 trillion dollars a year, it's 3 times as bad as I said it was.
Which would make sense because I intentionally rounded down.
I was shocked too. But, get your calculator out and you'll see I'm way UNDER. Not way over.
I'm pretty good at math.
Always double check your work before trying to correct someone else. 😉
Also, note that the 2 million dollars a minute came straight from the floor of the Senate.
$700 per day times 365 days is $255,500 per person per year. There are about 330 million people in the US. Multiply those numbers and you'll get $82 trillion per year. No way that's right.
☝️ You're actually right.
It took me a minute to figure out how that happened but I think I typed 3,500,000 Instead of 350,000,000 and was off by a factor of 100.
That's embarrassing. I was sure about the $2,000,000 a minute and used a calculator for the rest but the cell phone calculator is not all it's cracked up to be. I should have double checked that before I posted it.
It's actually more like $2,500 a year and $7 a day. Which is still a lot, but not nearly as bad. (Or, if you use 330 mill for population Instead of rounding to 350 it's $3,100)
I wish you had been more specific in your first post but yes, it was actually me who misplaced a decimal and should have double checked.
I wish I could take this down to avoid misleading others but, I will definitely edit it to show that it's inaccurate.
That said, props for being literally the only one who noticed it was off by a factor of 100.
I was astounded by how much it was. Definetly came out to be a lot more than I thought, but I expected him to say $2,000,000 a day, not a minute so I figured I just hadn't realized how outrageous it really was.
But the fact that most people on both sides (including myself) believed those numbers goes to show what we have come to expect from our government.
One side of the other, nobody should belive they are being taken advantage of on that level but, literally most people would expect that from the federal government. Because, we know they can and will take as much as they possibly can and give almost nothing back.
So financially, I'm glad to see things are not as bad as I thought.
But, more generally, my take away is that these people are so awful that the vast majority of people on both sides wouldn't be shocked if they did take $700 from every one of us every single day.
And that's pretty disturbing in its own right.
I wish I could make this MHO but it only let me pick one for some reason.
I can't edit it from my phone but please remind me if I forget.
@Lost_in_the_Woods Educate yourself, you pathetic, lying inbred piece of shit. A simple google search will show you the deficit was dropping under Obama and exploded under Trump.
"The annual budget deficit increased from $585 billion (3.2% GDP) in 2016 to $984 billion (4.7% GDP) in 2019, up 68%. Relative to a CBO forecast prior to President Trump's inauguration, the budget deficits for 2019-2021 roughly doubled, due to the Trump tax cuts and other spending legislation."
It DOUBLED under Trump. So seriously, go fuck yourself you fucking liar.
Wow, that's not even close to accurate.
See the graph posted by a very liberal chick.
And take some meds or something. Chill pill won't fix your problems but it's be a good place to start bro.
You can't blame trump for covid when Obama banned gain of function and Fauci signed off to fund it in Wuhan anyways.
Trump was agaisnt the lockdowns and the huge (unfairly distributed) unemployment checks.
We've already covered that the president doesn't increase the debt limit.
You have no idea what you're talking about, you just hate trump with a psychotic fixation.
can't wait till someone comes up with a TDS treatment, these people are suffering bro. X'D
How do you figure going from 585 to 984 is dropping?
Like shit, I might have missed some zeros but you don't even know how to count. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Sorry but this is just a pile emotionally driven garbage.
Math and numbers hurt liberals feelings.
But man, if you think numerical statistics are emotionally drive garbage you should see what "social justice" and "open boarders" look like from outside the sheep pen bro.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Leftists are literally so focused on 1+1=Racism that regular old math is enough to trigger them. 🤷🏼♂️
Unless you were referring to the name above your comment and not my post. 😉👌
https://youtu.be/WsThh9eqNw0
It's "borders" not "boarders" you inept, inbred moron.
LOL, I haven't been on g@g in a while. You've been arguing with the wind. So what you are saying (I think), is that you believe so deeply in fighting against liberal and/or progressive society that you willfully support what you know to be misleading propaganda if it helps spread your political idealism. Got it.
That's just sad bro.
And then you need to back it up with hatespeech and mockery. Real civilized of you. Why would any intelligent person want to ever engage you? I sure don't. That's why I'm sticking to objective reality and not debating the propaganda. There's no debate, it's hot garbage. And you know it too.
The only hate speech here is your deluded rant that was clearly directed at someone other than me.
I never said any of those things. Aparently you are getting mixed up or just don't know how to read.
All liberals know is that anything outside the bubble is "HATE SPEECH PROPAGANDA FROM IDIOTS"
and that is literally exactly what people in North Korea think about anything that comes from over the fence.
It's not a coincidence... But it's really not their fault. It's what they have been told and they aren't capable of thinking for themselves. The ones who are, are already on the other side.
Lose your shit over it. See if I care.
🤷🏼♂️
Why would Biden care about any of that when he knows he'll keel over any die any minute?
Didn’t biden just print out 40% of all Americans money in the past 12 months since America became a country he printed out 4 trillion dollars
How much did Trump print? You don't know because you don't care. Please don't pretend to give a shit about spending. All you care about is being a partisan, hypocrite.
Trump didn’t! You’re probably from California so no matter what happens you don’t care about facts it’s all feeding and what the fake mainstream media says. The comment that I just made is a factual comment. But who cares the fake mainstream media didn’t say that
I have never even been to California. Feel stupid yet? Because you should.
Yah I’m so stupid you got me there. An immigrant that’s making big bucks in a 3rd world country:l
Your ability to make money in a 3rd world country has nothing to do with how stupid you are. Assuming someone lives in California because [insert whatever stupid reason made you say that here] is what makes you stupid.
An inexperience clown who’s been living in the same country bitching his whole life while his parents fed him and wiped his ass wouldn’t know hard time and getting something in a shit hole. You live in the most pro opportunity country in the world. And so far seems like you to bitch a lot. And only a broke fat ass do nothing moron world talk like you.
I’m a first generation, legal Mexican immigrant, who came from poverty and parents who had me when they were way too young and grew up poor. I’m in my mid 30s now, have my own computer repair and consulting business. I have a net worth over 2.2 million and live in the Washington DC suburbs, one of the most expensive places in the US. You can shut the fuck up now, peasant.
You look like to bitch and do nothing about it! Why don’t you move then? No you don’t wanna do that. Mexico is cheaper but you wouldn’t wanna move there
Shut the fuck up, peasant. Class is over, you’re dismissed.
I don’t move there because I don’t have to just to appease an inbred peasant like you. My business is here and the DC area is a great market for my business. I do own two properties in Mexico. So why exactly should I move there when I’m well established in the US? Because some inbred, Trump cocksucker told me I should? LOL. Fuck off, boy.
Also, I wasn’t complaining about the cost of living in the DC area. It’s worth my taxes. You wouldn’t know about that, peasant.
You should move there but you’re living in the states. You’re just one of those who likes to bitch all the time about how America sucks but you do nothing to change it. Or even wolf ever move out.
When did I say America sucks? LOL! I literally never said that. You’re very stupid and clearly cannot read. Typical Trump cocksucker, peasant.
Your gas prices increased? You got a flat tire? You can get laid? Bring trump’s name to it. I’m the stupid one out seems like you’re a dumb ass you don’t have to say the exact words of America sucks but you’re bitching enough
The fucking National Debt is the most irrelevant thing in the world, When you have a debt based money creation system.
Relax bud. YOU don't owe anything
Seems you're too simple minded to understand how economies work.
Also, the USA has been living beyond it's means for decades. Why else do you think it's debts are going to shit?
Seems you are too brainwashed to realize that spending more money than we have is bad economics. 🤦🏼♂️
Wouldn’t it be nice to earn money for the government than giving away tax cuts….
Fucking Shame
“deficits don’t matter” - Dick Cheney
Yes, and it's getting worst.
Invest in gold and learn to grow your own food.
That's why we need trump
Yes we’re losing America
It doesn't affect anybody.
Dude... Google "what happened to Venezuela"
You're clueless.
@Lost_in_the_Woods
Lol if you think that Venezuela got into its current situation simply by having high debt, you’re not paying attention
@tartaarsaus of course he's not paying attention. These stupid Trump cocksuckers HAVE TO RELY on their pathetically simplistic "understanding" of this because if they had to actually think about this and make real arguments, everyone would see what dumb fucks these people are. And to think these are the same people who claim to understand economics the best.
Thanks, The Fed.
