While they claim social security and Medicare are going broke. We have plenty for foreign countries but nothing for Americans.

I just had a reply to a question posed by a supposed conservative in Texas, which read as follows:
Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

Now, go away kid, ya bothering me.

“Here's why the US doesn't have to pay off its $31 trillion mountain of debt, according to Paul Krugman”

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-why-us-doesnt-pay-035612736.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAM49ThW0a-C3UT76JMUu_VVD0sbHTyojc_pesHTvugT7mkD6GHg4lDGWDH33ejz2NnprHVNF_U7jra09D2YjHv5zSYxzsgiB2q9yTxdeJMnZQI0QOR8VNrC-MDoA53VLJE-G_qzgbIayWaWex48VhM27xT1BlRj57iggXYrIsNvY

In that article, one read: "Krugman has called for the debt ceiling to be abolished, as the risk of a financial crisis offers conservative Republicans a 'choke point' on fiscal policy."

Focus on that. The Democrats and some Freepers think 1) no debt limit is a good thing, and 2) it would defang Republicans who otherwise might have a "choke point' on -- not fiscal policy, alone -- but Democrats' and RINOs' wild spending spree.

When Speedy first asserted the "Paul Krugman" stance, only perhaps five weeks ago, the national debt was -- as above -- in the mid-31 trillion range. A short time later, it is already in the mid-33 trillions.

Debt Clock
It is past time to become alarmed. Biden "asking" for billions and then billions and then more billions is become insane.

Lets just give all these countries all our assets, accounts, gold, weapons etc, and they can raise taxes fees and fines on everyone in America to pay for their protections and well being.

This middle east war is the new WEF play. There was too much resistance to continuing the Ukraine boondoggle so they shifted gears to something that the majority of Americans could get behind

If election wins could change any of this, then the numerous victories by Republicans over the last THIRTY YEARS would have achieved something.

The Team Red /Team Blue Bullsh!t has been nothing but a gatekeeping and containment device by the UniParty to ensure conservative defeat.

There is no voting our way out of this. Not in the USA. Not in any Western country.

We need Globohomo Regime collapse before we can move on. Fortunately their incompetence and decadence is accelerating their demise.

(Let’s pray they Fall before they can start Global NeoCon War.)

I’m wondering if they don’t want him there when things really go to hell.

Cling to your absolutist dogmas. In fact, form a group of you. In less then a month half of you will be pronouncing political anathema on the other half.

The sweeping measure would also include funding for border security...

Sure it will. At least twenty bucks, but it's cover for the RINOs to vote him the money. Suddenly paralysis in the House doesn't look like such a bad thing. So how much is Biden sending Iran, Hamas, and the PLO?

current project deficit $1.7 trillion

and we would be headed to a deficit of $2.0 trillion higher if the Supreme Court hadn’t negated Biden’s student loan forgiveness

but with emergency appropriations, like this $100 billion, who knows, maybe we can still hit a $2.0 trillion deficit

at least, you gotta give the guy props for trying!

Trump left office with a deficit of $2.8 trillion; but, you know, Trump. So, it was all good.

Biden gives Zelensky another $80 billion of our tax dollars.

“And I put $40 billion in an offshore account for you, Joe, just like Hunter told me to.”
