The biggest problem is racist conservitive whites.The kind that will start threads complaining about soon being 51 trillion in debt but keep voting for republicans that repeatedly give trillions in tax cuts for the rich as long as they fight to maintain white surpremacy.
Because half the country is like this. This very guy started this very thread complaining about the debt but supports Trump who turned a 665 billion dollar deficit into a 2.7 trillion dollar deficit and is about to give 5 trillion in tax cuts to the rich because Trump supports ending DEI and affirmative action.
Because it was outdone by the price performance of everything people actually need to survive? Food, shelter energy? Just a thought.
"extraordinary economic performance" This one needs further clarification Nitro.... In what regards? The markets? Well... that landslide victory by Trump.... pretty much speaks volumes to the debate of WS performance vs the Joe Six-Pack and Family's day to day existence. Not to mention 20MM illegals taxing our system in a hundred ways to next Sunday.
Trump isn't as concerned about the debt as I'd like him to be, but his efforts with DOGE to control spending are a good start. DEI is racial discrimination and will soon be illegal.
The money Trump saves with DOGE wont be anywhere close to 10+ trillion dollars he will have added to the debt.USAID spent 40 billion in 2023.The entire US Dept of Education budget is 240 billion.Thats nothing compared to the 5 trillion in tax cuts he is about to give to the rich,and he already added over 5 trillion to the debt his first term.The yearly interest payments alone on the 10 + trillion he will have added to the debt will likely be more than any money saved by DOGE. DEI will be back when Democrats take charge again.Trumps addition to the debt and yearly interest payments on that debt will last a whole lot longer.You all more worried about DEI when Trump and Republicans keep giving trillions to millionaires and billionaires is ridiculous.
Just think,the guy you voted for and support will be responsible for over 20% of that debt and Trump will have only been in office 8 out of 235 years.
Trump/DOGE could end ALL discretionary spending the next 4 years and the savings wouldn't match the 10 + trillion Trump will have added to the debt.
Lets forget about Trump for one second.When was the last time any Republican President left office with a smaller budget deficit than when they arrived? The last 3 Democrat Presidents did.
