A trillion here, a trillion there and the next thing you know you're talking about real money!

no wonder Americans are stressed and crime is high, and so are the politicians

'A major problem': The US surpasses $31 trillion in debt, made worse by rising interest rates — and this is who holds the IOUs

It works out to $93K per person.

Not to worry....it's not sustainable.
The end is near....it's called total collapse.
It's what they've been gunning for btw.

It's how they collapsed Venezuela and installed a dictator. Works every time.

Step 1) Create a generation or two of mindless imbeciles who are easily manipulated (The Democrats)
Step 2). Whip them into a divisive, nation hating frenzy with lies and divisive propaganda (The Left media)
Step 3). Corrupt the political and judicial system and install loyalists who don't give a shit about the people or the nation (only personal gain)
Step 4). Bankrupt the nation
Step 5). From the chaos and ashes install the dictator of choice who offers 'Salvation"
Step 6). Disarm the citizens
Step 7). Eliminate any and all opposition.

America isn't fighting a proxy war in the Ukraine against Russia because it loves Ukrainians.
And it didn't fight a war against Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, or any of it's other 37 wars of aggression because it loved the enemy or the enemy's country.

America's proxy war in the Ukraine is strictly aimed at the elimination of Russia as a contender to world power, in alliance with China.

Billions of dollars to the Ukraine?
For love's sake?

Another round of tax cuts for the billionaires will take care of the debt problem.

Once again, with feeling:

The USA created the economic mess that is South America in general, and Venezuela in particular. This whipsawing back and forth between social democracy and authoritarian dictatorship has destroyed their economy, just like it's destroying the American economy.

1. Look to the Republican Party, a large percentage of whom want a white authoritarian government.

2. It's not the left wing media which incited the mob on January 6th with lies about a stolen election.

3. You've just described the entire Trump Cabinet, a record number of whom were forced out of office due to ethics and corruption scandals.



4. See the numbers on Trump's tax cuts and deficits. Joe Biden is reducing the deficit by Trillions of dollars.

TRUMP TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT AND END THE CONSTITUTION. THERE'S NO COMING BACK FROM THAT.

Didn't they say ten years ago when it was just barely 20 trillion that at 24 trillion, we would be spending all of our GDP just on paying the INTEREST on this money???

here are the latest numbers (as of oct 12) from the gov't:

Debt Held by the Public​

$24,284,135,644,567.60​

​

Intragovernmental Holdings​

$6,859,579,034,417.00​

​

Total Public Debt Outstanding​

$31,143,714,678,984.60​

​

Debt to the Penny | U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data

Debt to the Penny is the total debt of the U.S. government and is reported daily. It is made up of intragovernmental holdings and debt held by the public.

Understand that this means your $31T includes $7T the gov't owes itself. Personally I don't consider that part an issue.

The remaining $24T is owed to the American people. This means on average every man woman and child in the U.S. has over $71K in T-bills and savings bonds. iow, the fed may be hurting but the American people are rich!

To me that's better because the people are more important than the govt.

Progs have enacted trillions and trillions of dollars of agendas the last near two years and about two dollars of it will actually build us up. You are impoverishing people. You have your Hitlers. If these Repubs screw this up, then we will have to vote in ours. We are seeing totalitarian force on those who are not Prog.

Who? The head of Facebook? Google? Twitter? Apple? ATT? Comcast? intel? You mean all those billionaire leftists?
Democrat corruption making other Democrats wealthier by robbing the taxpayers blind.
Yeah, they should face a firing squad.

Where are you getting your information from? All of those "billionaire leftists" became billionaires under the Republican economic tax codes and structures which have been in place Reagan restructured the US economy after his election in 1980.

Since then, we've had three major economic crashes, each worse than the last one, and all under Republican President. Each crash has seen the rich get much richer, and the poor get poorer, while Republicans refuse to raise the minimum wage or require employers to provide health insurance.

No mandated vacations, no mandated maternity leave. The Republican tax code simply funnelled all of the wealth of the nation to the top. This is not a problem the Democrats inflicted on you. This is what you voted for when you vote Republican.

So stop being a gullible shill for Republicans and then calling others "morons".

When W was sworn in, Gingrich and the pre 1998 GOP had left America with under $6 trillion in debt and a budget surplus.

That is when W and the Fox News Zionist fascists did a 180

Socialize senior drugs
Dump a trillion into public education while REJECTING VOUCHERS
Allow a foreign "ally" to hate hoax us into two BS wars
Start "homeland security" surely to be followed with a "ministry of truth"


The two parties are dominated by morons who do not understand basic math.

That's why the issue never gets traction now....
