He didn't have to sign anything. What's the point of being president if you can do nothing?

Where were you when Trump ran huge defecits & gave tax cuts to his cronies at the same time? Nowhere to be found.

/----/ Yeah, and who suffers from the shut downs? We you cheering Trump on for not signing or trashing him like every democRAT and MSM talking head?

Holy shit I agree with Lakhota on something. Those fuckers in congress RAIDED Social Security multiple times, took trillions of OUR SS contributions and spent it on other stupid shit. Now congress doesn't have the money to pay back OUR money so they scheme to **** us over on our paid for SS benefits. FU congress!
A show of hands, who wants to be standing on the factory floor 8 hours working a shift at age 70? THAT'S how disconnected from the working class these idiots in congress are. Thune, pull your head out of your ass you stupid ****!

U.S. National Debt by Year
The U.S. national debt grew to a record $34 trillion by the end of 2023. It was just $16 billion in 1930.
The economy has been on fire, and the fed has been raising interest rates to slow the hot economy down for months now, so to get inflation rates to go down....

"Tank the economy"? Old Brandon is doing a good job of that without any help. The inconvenient truth is that republicans want to get a handle on programs and spending while admitted "progressive" blogs spin it to threats of cuts in Social Security. That's the way the system works when democrats have nothing to offer except threats.

Raising the age for which you can collect SS from 66 to 70 most DEFINITELY is cutting benefits
And that is why euthanasia will happen.

Nope.....it is caused by Social Security being a panzi scheme and having no money to pay benefits........it is necessary to save somehting for those already collecting it........

What about all the others in your so-called Ponzi scheme - including many foreign countries?
Which agencies own the most Treasury notes, bills, and bonds? Social Security, by a long shot. The U.S. Treasury publishes this information in its monthly Treasury statement.
Social Security trusts, including the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds, held $2.75 trillion in Treasurys as of August 2022. The next largest agency was the Military Retirement Fund at $1.18 trillion. Other large holders of debt include the Office of Personnel Management Retirement, Medicare (which includes the Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund), then cash on hand to fund federal government operations.
The public holds over $24.29 trillion of the national debt.1 Foreign governments hold a large portion of the public debt, while the rest is owned by U.S. banks and investors, the Federal Reserve, state and local governments, mutual funds, pensions funds, insurance companies, and holders of savings bonds.
The Treasury breaks down who holds how much of the public debt in a quarterly Treasury bulletin. Foreign and international investors held over $7.6 trillion, according to its September 2022 bulletin, which included data through March 2022. State and local governments held $1.45 trillion and mutual funds had $3.26 trillion.3
Other holders of the public debt include insurance companies, U.S. savings bonds, private pension funds, and other holders, including individuals, government-sponsored enterprises, brokers and dealers, banks, bank personal trusts and estates, corporate and non-corporate businesses, and other investors.
The Bottom Line
The U.S. national debt is the sum of public debt that is held by other countries, the Federal Reserve, mutual funds, and other entities and individuals, as well as intragovernmental holdings held by Social Security, Military Retirement Fund, Medicare, and other retirement funds.
Many people believe that much of the U.S. national debt is owed to foreign countries like China and Japan, but the truth is that most of it is owed to Social Security and pension funds right here in the U.S. This means that U.S. citizens own most of the national debt.
