Biden’s Treasury to borrow $776 billion in the final three months of the year

[Hum Dinger]

Who are they borrowing the money from?

They sell bonds.

 

[TNHarley]

Here's an idea!

Instead of borrowing from the wealthy, just tax the wealthy!

Punish success! That is the key to success!

 

[TheGreatSatan]

They sell bonds.

How's the bond marker?

Who buys the bonds?

 

[TNHarley]

But one can more than the other: democrats.

Yeah they have no problems taxing us into oblivion.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

Economy seems fine to me. My house just appraised for twice what i paid for it 5 years ago.

Yeah, and if you try to sell it , you wont get anyone to buy it. So much for your overpriced bubble house.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Punish success! That is the key to success!

Punish the 'successful' thieves, reward the people that create the wealth thru productive labor!

 

[TheGreatSatan]

No buyers at 8% record interest rates.

Yeah they have no problems taxing us into oblivion.

Hyperbole. Our tax revenue is pathetic.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Yeah they have no problems taxing us into oblivion.

Oh yeah! The Billionaires of the world are halfway to homelessness!

Poor, little billionaires!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Punish success! That is the key to success!

Rich people will still be rich with higher taxes, as they always have been.

 

[TNHarley]

Punish the 'successful' thieves, reward the people that create the wealth thru productive labor!

Thieves? You sure you know what that word means?

 

[Hum Dinger]

Put the highest income tax bracket back to 91%, and increase the capital gains tax.

 

[TNHarley]

Oh yeah! The Billionaires of the world are halfway to homelessness!

Poor, little billionaires!

yeah, you just going to tax the rich to cover 1.5 trillion dollar deficits every year?

 

[Hum Dinger]

Thieves? You sure you know what that word means?

I grew up near Wall St., so yes, I know exactly what the word means.

 

[Hum Dinger]

yeah, you just going to tax the rich to cover 1.5 trillion dollar deficits every year?

If the rich can afford to buy bonds they can afford to pay it in taxes.

 

[TNHarley]

Hyperbole. Our tax revenue is pathetic.

Our spending is pathetic.

 

[BackAgain]

A trillion here. 3/4’s of a trillion there.

Some people think it adds up.

 

[TNHarley]

I grew up near Wall St., so yes, I know exactly what the word means.

Maybe if you idiots quit voting for corrupt pieces of shit, we could hold wall street and bankers and shit accountable for when they actually do steal.

Whenever you are tempted to brag about Trump's economic "boom", remember this graph. Look how much this motherfucker increased the percent of GDP which was government spending.

There's your fake "boom", in your face.

And don't even THINK of claiming it was because of Covid. The gray vertical line is when Covid kicked in. Trump ramped up government spending BEFORE Covid.

There is why we have inflation now.

Dishonest graph... covid shutdown and sill the economy was better back then... gas was cheap food was affordable... look what your boy Biden did to the people of America....

 

[Couchpotato]

Actually, you proved me correct. Trump began exploding the deficit as soon as he took power. Long before Covid.

Thanks.

No it didnt. It was basically the same. What numbers are you looking at?

2015	$442	$327	2.4%
2016	$585	$1,423	3.1%
2017	$665	$671	3.4%
2018	$779	$1,271	3.8%
2019	$984	$1,203	4.6%

Obama's last 3, and Trump's first 2 prior to COVID. Where's the "explosion"?
