Republicans only care about the debt when Democrats are in power.

What do you suggest they do?
End USAID?
End ActBlue?
End Fraud Daycares?
End Healthcare fraud?
How about this? Firing over 400,000 federal employees?
What else do you suggest they do to cut the fake arse deficit?
I watched a fascinating documentary the other day and it explained that if you took out all of the theft and fraud, America would be several hundred billion in the black. So what is Trump and his team trying to do? End all of the Fraud.

And the same can be said for Democrats.
The debt ain't going anywhere, baws. The first political party who makes a move to start cutting back entitlements can see their chances in the midterms and the general election go bye-bye. You're living in a fantasy world if you think that will ever change.
Democrats and Republicans will always use the national debt as a talking point but will never do anything about it because it would be political suicide.

Fraud investigations should be a priority for every government organization and entity at state and federal levels.

Some Republicans care about the debt when Democrats are in power.
Some don't care about it at all, ever, under any circumstances.
Like Trump, for example.

Kill 3 programs that are responsible for 50% of our budget. Medicare Medicaid and social security.

Why not give up your social security, Medicare and Medicaid, and/or pay more taxes? You as a citizen and individual have the capability to decrease the deficit too, but no one ever does.

There’s a flaw in our system
Elected people need to do something
That usually entails spending
There needs to be curbs on what can be spent

I agree let’s end the democrats fraud and money grab.Accountability is non existent in the democratic mindset. That would probably balance the budget

There needs to be a run of republicans secretly willing to take the hit and just go scorched earth on all of it. I’ll volunteer as tribute first

So war is the solution? Is that what you are implying is going to happen?

I wish, I could go through life the way the Goverment goes through the debt. Just keep borrowing and never default. Pass the Buck to the next 4 generations.

Well, yeah. The campaign promises. So, let's see the Black numbers soon. We're aligned, right?
