The national debt is nothing more than a scorecard tally of government spending.

So we have $28T in debt, but what do we have to show for it? Well, we have infrastructure, we have Medicare, we have Social Security, we have a military, we have vaccines, etc.

Now, reasonable people can disagree over whether any of that stuff was worth the money we spent; but everyone can agree that spending trillions on tax cuts for the rich isn't worth the debt those tax cuts incur.

This fixation on the debt by certain people is a tell; they know they can't come up with policies or beliefs that people like and agree with, so instead, they fly planes of tax cuts into the budget, then cry about the deficits those tax cuts created.

That is fiscal terrorism, and it Conservative orthodoxy.

First you complain about how (choose any republican pres.) increased the debt and now you sing it’s praises.Guess it all depends on who the president is with you.
I will blow it up. America will rise from the ashes like a phoenix.

If Moose thinks Bush was the first globalist he is not a history buff.

See there are these things called world wars we heavily participated in. And what is manifest destiny if not globalism?
We don't stop at globalism, we put our national flag on extraterrestrial satellites. lol. What was the Monroe doctrine?

If you have more than 20 ships you are globalist.

Newsflash, the United States of America is a global empire with tentacles everywhere and we OWN the international system of finance.

Bush? LMAO

No, I am not complaining about how your "very fine people" ran up the debt...I'm merely pointing out that your "very fine people" did that, despite you peacocking over that debt.

Your inconsistency isn't my problem.

Neither dims or repubs care about the debt. Republicans are certainly not “my people”. Dims are just less my people.

Well, the debt isn't something to care about because it has absolutely ZERO impact on your borrowing ability, zero impact on the government's borrowing ability, and zero impact on the economy.

And yes, Republicans are your "very fine people".

Remember how distasteful were the Bushies and Baggers? They look like great dinner company compared to the Trump era.
What will it do next to bubble up angst as substitute for its diminishing demographics? I think they will nominate the horn wearing Ted Nugent lookalike
Qanon dude for Potus.

The horn head guy was sort of hot. But then I saw he's bald. And a Trump supporter. So it's a hard no, but still, his face is not displeasing.

The biggest mistake of the GOP aka GQP was to team up with Putin's bitch tRump to wage war on America and using a clump of young and decrepit fools to go along with the assault on Democracy, and to which the weight of this gutter filth has put the GOP in a hell hole of a situation in terms of its relationship with America, and the common decency of humanity on Earth. The so-called republican party deserves to rot in hell for its treason and moral rot against humanity. Yet, what has tRump's GOP accomplished aside from the covid murder of over 600,000 Americans, with global implications and adding over 7 trillion dollars to the national debt? This includes, and to which Democrats are left with the task of cleaning the filthy and toxic affects of the lawlessly hacked in tRump cartel up as a tremendous error on global civilization. The following is the what that toxic swine tRump and his kissers created:

The GOP Is Dying Off. Literally.

It turns out that one of the Grand Old Party’s biggest—and least discussed—challenges going into 2016 is lying in plain sight, written right into the party’s own nickname. The Republican Party voter is old—and getting older, and as the adage goes, there are two certainties in life: Death and taxes. Right now, both are enemies of the GOP and they might want to worry more about the former than the latter.

There’s been much written about how millennials are becoming a reliable voting bloc for Democrats, but there’s been much less attention paid to one of the biggest get-out-the-vote challenges for the Republican Party heading into the next presidential election: Hundreds of thousands of their traditional core supporters won’t be able to turn out to vote at all.

The party’s core is dying off by the day.

Since the average Republican is significantly older than the average Democrat, far more Republicans than Democrats have died since the 2012 elections. To make matters worse, the GOP is attracting fewer first-time voters. Unless the party is able to make inroads with new voters, or discover a fountain of youth, the GOP’s slow demographic slide will continue election to election. Actuarial tables make that part clear, but just how much of a problem for the GOP is this?"

Biden: 200 million Americans have been vaccinated

The administration is reaching a new turning point in its vaccination campaign, as supply begins to outpace demand.

President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that his administration had achieved its target of 200 million coronavirus vaccinations during his first 100 days in office.

“This is an American achievement — a powerful demonstration of unity and resolve, what unity will do for us, and a reminder of what we can accomplish when we pull together as one people to a common goal,” Biden said at a White House event."

If that's the case then why did the courts toss all the cases brought before it? Trump allegedly had the best attorney's working on his behalf so you know if there was a chance the results would have been overturned they would have. All I keep hearing is that the election was "stolen" from Trump but yet he is unable to convince the courts of that.

It's sounds like Trump is a sore loser at this point. He's not used to losing or getting his way from what I've read in the past. I think he needs to get over it and move on with his life.

Capacity is nothing without productivity.

You can increase capacity, sure, but if you don't have the personnel, then you just wasted all those resources.

This is why almost every single Conservative business fails, because of supply-side dogma.

In 50 years of trickle down economics, not once has increasing the supply ever improved the economy.

we're not talking about any of that right now.

im not a "supply sider" anyway.

Not at all when it comes to the technicalities of it all as the GOP or repuke cartel are dying off by default to which I certainly have no control over. Yet considering the GOP is waging war on Democracy and the common decency of civilization, it should fall on its own sword. Ultimately, the reality of it all is in control for the following reasons:

The Republican Party Is Now in Its End Stages
The GOP has become, in form if not in content, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union of the late 1970s.

We are living in a time of bad metaphors. Everything is fascism, or socialism; Hitler’s Germany, or Stalin’s Soviet Union. Republicans, especially, want their followers to believe that America is on the verge of a dramatic time, a moment of great conflict such as 1968—or perhaps, even worse, 1860. (The drama is the point, of course. No one ever says, “We’re living through 1955.”)

Ironically, the GOP is indeed replicating another political party in another time, but not as the heroes they imagine themselves to be. The Republican Party has become, in form if not in content, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union of the late 1970s.

I can already hear the howls about invidious comparisons. I do not mean that modern American Republicans are communists. Rather, I mean that the Republicans have entered their own kind of end-stage Bolshevism, as members of a party that is now exhausted by its failures, cynical about its own ideology, authoritarian by reflex, controlled as a personality cult by a failing old man, and looking for new adventures to rejuvenate its fortunes."

Deal with the reality of it all, the GOP or GQP is so out of touch with reality at being a moral rot, treasonous, insurrectionist and self destructive atrocity on civilization at attempting to poison the soul of humanity. What else is there for you creatures of the gutter as in the GOP or GQP to demonstrate its self worth at being un American and unGodly? What has your ass kissing GOP swine done in terms of any accomplishments at serving the well being of society as so-called lawmakers, aside from being enemy combatant and insurrectionist lawbreakers? Does eating tRump and repuke dirt and mud taste that good? As far as I am concerned, the GOP that waged war on Democracy and civilization deserves to rot!
