The debt has done that.

OTOH, fraud and misuse of taxpayer money are pressing issues for many Americans. Recent surveys revealed that 83% of respondents believe fraud contributes significantly to higher costs for families while 87% expressed concern about the misuse of taxpayer money in government programs.
These statistics highlight a widespread belief that financial mismanagement and fraud are linked to economic challenges, including the rising cost of living.

Corruption Offers Democrats an Attack Strategy, but Criticism Falls Short

“We have a very corrupt country, a very corrupt country,” President Trump stated at Mar-a-Lago last week, “and it’s a sad thing to say, but we’re figuring it out now.” While Democrats may dis…

As you know..... We know... you only bring it up while Trump is president....

How many mentions of Biden and the debt or fuel prices from that one?

After being elected, Trump and the Republican Congress set about DOUBLING the deficit that Obama had halved. By the time he is finished with this current term, Trump will have racked up more debt than Obama and Biden combined.

The stupidity of voting for Republicans – for president or Congress; the wrong-headed notion that Republicans are ‘good on the economy,’ whatever that’s supposed to mean.

The GOP is not the party of fiscal responsibility, it never was.

Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

I've explained countless times how the debt could very easily be eliminated.

Countless times.

Unfortunately, our politicians are beholden to special interests who work diligently to divide our country and keep everyone from even discussing the simple solution.

Oh. You “explained.”

Cool story bra.

You are aware Trump always has been a far left New York Democrat, right?

Just look at his policies. They don't get more socialist than that.

Democrats support abortion, sexual perversion, racism, fraud, sedition, and more, quite unlike Trump.

Everyone needs to start talking about the debt. All the time. It is all that matters. It is the ONLY existential threat to our security and our future.

Not trannies. Not Mexicans. Not Muslims. Not even Iran.

The debt.

LMAO! And there it is. G-strings real agenda. Draw focus away from…

• The Democrats created the trans war (it failed spectacularly)
• The Democrats created class warfare (it failed spectacularly)
• The Democrats created the culture wars (it failed spectacularly)

Here’s the thing G-strong: We the People can walk & chew bubblegum. So you can take your disingenuous agenda and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

G-string not only doesn’t understand basic economics, she also doesn’t grasp the concept of trillion.

I like Warren Buffet's idea. "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."

And how many Congressmen would vote for that law? Oh, about 1 out of every 8,000 or so.

Obama HALVED the deficit.

You’re truly a pathological liar. You couldn’t force yourself to speak the truth if you had a gun to your head.

1. The President of the United States does not control the purse strings - Congress does. So it is literally impossible that “Obama halved the deficit”
2. In 2008 (GWB final year in office), the deficit was $455 billion. In 2009, Obama and the Democrat supermajority in Congress ran that up to $1.417 trillion: a staggering 211% increase to the deficit (note that Democrats in Congress did whatever Obama told them to do - no questions asked)
3. In 2016 (Obama’s final year in office) when Republicans controlled all of Congress, the deficit was $587 billion (still a 29% increase from GWB’s final year in office).
4. At no point did “Obama halve the deficit”. He and the Democrats ran it up a mind-blowing 211% and only when Republicans took over did that come back down to a “normal” level.

You are such a lowlife lying jack-hole. Truly one of the worst here on USMB.
