e have many posters here, most of the GOPe mark, that openly and repeatedly argue none of these deficits nor the debt matter.


Several of these pro Federal Reserve posters have advanced degrees in banking, finance and economics, they are all in on MMT.

Go look at the assumptions they used to come up with this


If this CBO estimate is remotely accurate we're looking at interest payments on US debt creeping towards 2 trillion/year by 2034.

I hope we all see the pattern. Every piece of economic data is revised down after it leaves the public’s eye. Every expense is revised up after it leaves the public’s eye. All seems to be one directional


I heard on War Room this morning the government recently trimmed 800k jobs from their 2023 jobs added report.

It should have been DeSantis.


I am pretty sure DeSantis would be pipping the same pided pipper tune off the cliff of fiscal irresponsibility.

The problem is that debt has grown so large and future expenditures have grown so large that there are no short term or midterm fixes.


Think of your household earnings and expenditures. If you are borrowing or raiding the sofa cushions for 1/3 of your monthly expenditures, eventually someone will cut you off. Or the cost of debt service will exceed the income coming in.


The only way out of this debt crisis is to grow the economy and allow some inflation to grow the GDP back to near 100% of the debt.
