Oh fuck off. Deficit spending is sometimes necessary but not desirable. We are paying interest to largely wealthy investors. I’d rather just tax the fuck out wealthy investors and spend of the money on services for the people.
You think I’m a conservative? Lololololol… nope. Go away.
The federal government doesn’t buy stocks with borrowed money. And yes, I know how margin works. You’re talking absolute twaddle. We’re done.
Justify that statement. While I think carrying some debt is acceptable, calling zero debt “malfeasance” is preposterous.
Sure. Bit actually paid it off instead of allowing debt service to consume more and more of my income. Debt service consumes more of the Federal budget every year. We could have universal health care for the amount we pay for debt service every year.
Lol.. whatever… nope. All my debts are paid off. Own my house, pay cash for my cars and pay the credit card bill in full every month. Debt service is about 15% of the total budget. If you think that’s negligible, we’ll have to disagree .
Well until Dubya fucked it up, we had briefly stopped expanding the percentage of our budget consumed by debt service. If you don’t think that matters, you’re bad at math.
He balanced the budget…
Crimes against humanity.
Super edgelord. <cringe>
Some… many of us are doing the best we can. Renee Good and Alex Pretti died doing their bit.
2026’s “alternate facts.”
📌BREAKING VIA NYT: During the first year of the Trump regime, the V.A. cut roughly 14,400 jobs at its health care division. This is a striking turnaround after years of growth supported by members of both parties.
Tell me again this draft-dodging punk doesn't think our troops are suckers and losers.
The best part? Both of out hospital ships are currently in shipyards getting routine maintenance. The man has mashed potatoes for brains.
Some speech is more equal than others.
It’s a paramilitary goon squad. It’s the American SS… Trump’s personal enforcers.
Murphy is right.
Then get out there and do it!
I agree. Replace them in the primary. Do it. Don’t thump your chest on Bluesky… go DO IT. I’m volunteering on the campaign of a young man in my district running for Congress. What are you doing?
I’m sorry you think I’m the enemy. I’m not. But hey ask the “abandon Harris” folks how that went for Palestine.
I think you’re right. But they can be pulled along by others who CAN do the right thing. If the MAGAts remain in power, things will get much, much worse.
No one’s that’s my point. We must defeat the fascists to make sure no mode Rene Goods die. And yes, I support completely abolishing ICE.
Primary them. But remember that we are truly and totally ****ed if we don’t have some power to check Trump. He is very close to ensuring that elections no longer matter at all in this country. There will be no recovery if that happens. You may think I’m alarmist. The last year suggests I’m not.
That’s fair. But the place to fight that battle is in the primaries. Get involved in the politics and support candidates that reflect your views. But if your candidate doesn’t win. We STILL need to defeat the MAGAts, even if the candidate to do that isn’t what you’d hope for.
I get it. But we need to stop the bleeding before we can heal. The current regime must be stopped. Don’t let your anger distract you from the short term tactics to defeat the fascists.
He desperately wants to invoke the insurrection act.
Huh. I’m still alive too. Sonos my whole family. Weird!
Trump is turning ICE into his personal Brown Shirts. Every one of them needs to be held accountable when this nightmare is over. No excuses.
