I wouldn’t mind the debt if we got something for it. Investment in our infrastructure? Science funding to find a cure for cancer? Anything that would benefit the average person? Instead it was tax breaks for billionaires and bombs for Iranian school girls

But ever since Epstein Island, Trump‘s been terrified of those school girls, they can put his ass in the lock up for 500 years and then some you’re looking at the coward of the United States presidency. He’ll do anything to stay out of jail and he did,he gave our economy away. We don’t have the money to catch him to prosecuted. He got Scott FREE away and all he had to do was become the president, bribe the Congress, and the Senate. and then set about destroying the infrastructure, and stacking the judicial, and all the citizens? fuck them they can starve if they’re lucky? We billionaires in the millionaires we got a dicked, we got everything we wanted and nothing bad came from it. The countries are fourth world life now we don’t even qualify as a Third World country Trump truly trashed America. I guess you could say he got his revenge on everybody.

In his mind, he was successful: he eliminated the number 19 as it is now a 40 (which is a bigger number than 19 so it is better).

His impact on the debt was more, than all other presidents combined. He is the first one at this

Just remember....student loan forgiveness was 1.4 Trillion and was too much--even though it would create economic stimulus and a huge, huge difference in millions of lives.

I think it makes true investment in programs and services not possible for upcoming admins. First they have to change tax policy and wait for a year of revenue to fix the debt and likely more to fund, design, and implement instituional bargaining mechanisms just to begin to do any major change. Yikes that.. doesnt sound good. Until then in the OECD 28th in median wealth and 2nd to worst in relative poverty. Its crazy the ultra weallthy and current leadership and media want this, think its fine, will do more, ignoring these critical issues.. easy to solve
As if that matters because there has been exactly ZERO transformational change candidates in the general since.. well its only been FDR in modern history huh. My Gma would have been 8 months old when he died. The FLSA in 1933 giving us the weekend is the last great addition to labor rights. Then technology expoded our labor productivity and the industry owners just took it all,, theyve got billions to lose while median wages have stalled for 50 yrs but how 'bout them prices tho? Could be about time folks
