I don’t care, it’s not my responsibility to subsidize your doctor’s visit.

$166 B Income Security (Whatever the hell this means)


This is a combination grift/vote buying amount used for our friends that come here and don't pay taxes. They also get "tax credits" for not paying taxes, while those of us who work watch 40% of what we make go to some form of a tax.

You are floating a bunch of kids' and old people's healthcare? You must be a top 1 percentile OT Baller and pay an insane amount of income tax.

I hate that we don't require fiscal responsibility from our elected officials. At any level.


We used to. Until they recently figured out no one needs to actually be accountable.

Also Elected Officials: "You mean ALL of this money extracted from Feral & State coffers and taxpayers is absolutely FREE??"

It's a real problem, and unfortunately Trump is the only person in Washington who wants to fix it.



Was it done while he was asleep at the wheel???? Why wasn't he paying attention???

I'm so sorry you don't know how our government works. Clearly, our education system has failed you.

Not really. They've been saying that for awhile. When your country reaches a certain status and is a world power, you don't actually have to pay back your debts and can keep racking them up for some reason.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Typical deflection from the point...when you are the boss and shite goes south it is your fault my friend. Doesn't matter what the job is. Trump ain't part of the problem he is the fricking problem and his sycophants will defend his incompetence until the end of time because their ego will not allow them to admit they were duped.

Out of curiosity, do you actually have an argument to make, or is implying you know more than everyone else the extent of your expertise?

I did my part. I took out two pretty big loans in January. Hoping to land a third in March.

I’m guessing you’re talking about personal debt because if there is something Trump knows something about it’s how to eliminate debt by filing for bankruptcy.

As for US debt, no president has done more to increase that number than our current president. He’s making a fortune of it. After 2028 hopefully they confiscate the whole pile.

Do all tax payers not pay into Medicare and Medicaid?

News to me.

The president does not pass budgets. I'm so sorry you don't know how our government works. Clearly, our education system has failed you.

Are you one of the morons who wailed and gnashed his teeth when Trump asked for budgetary rescissions?
