    I often wonder what the hard core lefties think.
    That the Feds just have unlimited funds?
    It’s not the govt money anyways. It’s our ****ing money and I for one don’t think I should be forced to fund healthcare, lodging, food, phone and cash for migrants
    When my kid has to work for all that.

    Billions spent on useless govt jobs and NGO jobs for lefties. Great pay, benefits, health care, vacations and pensions all paid for by you and me.

    The folks I know back home in DC, who work for the Feds or contractors, barely do any work. Many golf a few times a week and get paid DC commuter stipends.
    It’s all BS.

    They are trying to sort this out. And the left will cry and shriek the whole way because their cushy little work from home Fake Make Work jobs are about to get eliminated.

    Rough road ahead but we have to destroy this system of government handouts with the biggest beneficiaries being useless govt employees.

    That’s the whole point of return to office. I bet like 30% just quit outright.

    Congress has the power of the purse. Not the president. You "small time government" cultists suddenly have no issue with the President holding up spending that has been congressionally mandated.

    Youre in a cult and you're brainwashed

    I'm happy you've exposed yourself as the cultist we all know you were. You went from claiming biden added more to the debt (which he didnt) to claiming now he has a "mandate" cuz he won the election by 270k votes lol

    Braindead low iq cult. Dumbest people in the world

    You’re in the minority. Nobody agrees with you anymore, especially those with common sense. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

    I think the biggest misunderstanding is how govt spending works. We spend more than we take in in taxes.


    The spending is paid for by printed money. US treasuries are sold to cover costs. They create that money out of nothing with a promise to pay the bond holder back plus interest. Often times it’s the FED we owe interest too.
    The tax receipts are used to cover the interest payments only.

    It’s a GIANT
    Ponzi scheme.

    What should really happen is the FED should end and the treasury dept should be in charge of issuing US dollar debt and dollars, not a cabal of secret private banks they call the federal reserve.
    It’s not federal and there are zero reserves.

    You may want to check which administrations historically increased deficit spending and our debt. Which party had a balanced budget?

    Braindead cultists have no issue with Trump ramming through a 5 trillion dollar tax cut where 80% of the benefits go to the top 10%. Ill never understand how ordinary middle class americans go to bat for rich folks. You could literally be on fire and they wouldnt piss on you to help you.

    Deficit spending to give trillions in tax cuts for the top 1% = MAGATs have no issues with that.

    We spend money on education or health care and the MAGATs end in rage

    There was a ****ton of waste with Cares I (R), Cares II (D), PPP(D). Infra bill is spread over several years, but Biden tried spending as much as they could out the door like those game shows where you get 10 mins to grab everything you can from a store.

    I don't think they "rammed through" anything though. It was a split house with 50 votes. 13 Rs voted for the Infra bill to make it bipartisan.

    Those Republicans got bamboozled when he passed the Inflation Reduction Act afterwards...Dems da breaks.

    Overall, the partisan fingerpointing is part and parcel to our decent into madness.

    All Americans:
    • want a great economy without admitting business/credit cycles exist
    • feel overtaxed to the point of demanding a handout stimmy
    • loathes congress but loves their rep
    • wants services for either cheap or free
    • blames the other side for doing things they enabled when their side had control (because my side is Absolute Good and does things Right and Just!)
    Some numbers*:
    I read the delay was to make the standards better. My sis uses Electrify America chargers and they're unreliable garbage for a <5 yr old network. Lines are long because at least one is usually down, and the app reporting sucks.

    No one really knew what would happen. It could've happened under Donny much like how Bush ****ed up the economy.

    The big lesson is that helicopter drops are wasteful and inefficient. Moreso than direct aid and subsidies to corporations (con's favorite solution to recessions). California lost tens of billions to fraud and waste alone. Lib economists wanted to do what Biden did when Obama inherited the GFC. Now we know it's a bad idea.

    Even if I gave dummy politicians a pass for being dummies. I had a big problem with the Fed acting like they were experts or financial oracles when they helped **** up inflation and housing prices well after the lockdown. I'm sure my fanclub will ride my jock even though they're now b****ing about the debt because that's how they're wired.

    Fair enough.

    That's why he or his handlers were shitcanned. American majority chose the devil they knew over the man/they/womyn behind the curtain.
