U.S. debt tops $38 trillion for the first time, worsened by government shutdown

[BULLDOG]

I am glad the bill did not pass, because doing so would have just given Democrats longer to cave. I would have to review the Senate rules, but I would require the attendance of all Senators 24/7 in the Senate chambers until someone caves. I would take votes as often as possible until they cave. Maybe locking the Dems in the Senate for the duration will change their minds.

Democrats actions are perfectly legal. Quit whining, you big baby.

You best mail one to Cologuard to see if your brain cancer is spreading to your colon. That's probably why you have a shitty attitude.

I’ll send you one. Then you can place it on your head and see if your IQ goes up.

The Gulf of America? Department of War? You're kidding me, right?

LOL, you and your ilk changed the historical names of bases, ripped down statues of historical figures and can't tell the difference between male and female and you're whining about changing the name of the Dept of War back. You didn't know that it was the Dept. of War until 1947, eh? Chew on that for a while, Bulldyke. I bet you're all for that statue of Vladamir Lenin in Seattle, eh? You're kidding me, right?

So much for Republicans being fiscally conservative. Yet another major issue the two crime families agree on.

Debt during Trump's first term was just over $8 trillion, mainly due to the Scamdemic.

His first budget of his second term just started this month,, so how does your shit source want us to believe $12 trillion figure?

Try not to believe everything your handlers feed you, dumbass.

U.S. debt by president: dollar and percentage 2026

Of all the U.S. presidents, Barack Obama increased the national debt the most. Donald Trump ranks second due in part to coronavirus relief spending.

Not long until we hit $40 trillion and with the exception of Rand Paul, nobody in D.C. seems to care much. Eventually, the bill will be due and the American people, most of whom fumble through their daily routines as the non-player characters they are, will simply point their finger at the other tribe as being responsible for the problem when, in truth, everyone is responsible.

Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and a prominent voice on the nation's fiscal policies, also expressed concern at the national debt topping $38 trillion.

"The reality is that we're becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched," she said in a statement. "Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted — and you don't hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster."

The national debt is rising faster than ever and threatens to undermine confidence in the economy, experts warn.

I'd like to know where the 38 trillion came from.

As they stated, we just crossed 37 trillion 2 months ago.

And we we adding about 150 billion per month. Sooooo.........

What happened.

My search shows the current debt at 37,990,000,000,000+.

Your demand is impossible

But paying the troops is not out of the question

The numbers look the same but I am unsure if that was the specific one!

I never said it was out of the question. How do you propose to get it passed?

I saw a report on Fox News that Trump said some billionaire anonymously donated $130 million to pay the military, but I don't have a link.

Correct. Everyone. Literally.

Every single American is to blame.

"Gimme gimme gimme, and make that guy over there pay for it!"

Congress changed the name to DOD. Only congress can change it again.

I dont know how

But Trump has a habit of doing the impossible

Link it. You say a lot but the law doesn't seem to agree with you.

Does it matter? Obviously Donny loves blowing up the national debt. You can make excuses, but that exposes you as a partisan doofus.

 

[Frankenstein]

Why? As we are all so used to hearing when trump finds a loophole to do what has never been done before, IT'S LEGAL. QUIT WHINING.

Tell democrats to stop holding the country hostage, for subsidies that are unnecessary. They were put in during covid, and then extended under Biden, they were due to sunset and covid is over.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

And we never see any discussion, or any questions from the paralyzed press, about taxation. Every conversation is about cutting services.

Our wealth gap continues to grow. Trump and his friends are doing better and better. And better. Billionaires are sprouting up everywhere while young people and many Trumpsters can't make ends meet.

We've just shut off. The country is no longer thinking.

Let's keep fiddling......

 

[candycorn]

Since the average government worker makes more than Americans in the private sector dont shed any tears for them

They can easily find jobs at MacDonalds to tide them over

But no work, no pay

Hilarious lie.

Democrats actions are perfectly legal. Quit whining, you big baby.

And yet many of your macho constituents survive on government largesse.
