I’m not blaming someone for being in a tough spot financially when they have to foot the medical bills when their mom is hit by a drunk driver.

I’m certainly not going to listen to the drunk driver chastise me about the financial situation I’m in.

You(and the media and the dems we see on tv like Schumer) are the drunk driver.

Oh he, slowmo, is so bad that he blames Trump for spending and then when cutting spending.

He ignores facts.

- Covid happened.
- It is tax payer money
- All Congress and Trump did was to return it to them.
- They collected over 4 trillion. CARES act was 2.2 of that given back due to the State Gov shutting down and forcing people to not work.

Now factor into the extreme waste and unending wars over the past 20 years.

The crew actually believes it's not the tax payers money to begin with.

The last admin was using government to drive almost 50% of the GDP. The only way that’s possible is massive money printing and spending. Every economic metric from the last 4 years is horseshite.

Only way out is a real recession and massive government overhaul. Trump is ripping off the bandaid. The pussies will scream, the men will say thank you.

Blames?

I associate Trump with his approved spending and the consequences of that spending.

and then when cutting spending.

When did this happen?

You mean the whopping $7B cut in the CR yesterday?

How is the money printed for CARES "returned taxpayer money"?

Trump approved a CR yesterday to continue that level of spending.

2.8 % inflation sucks buckets, especially after a long inflationary cycle.


You’re an idiot. It’s right in the target inflation zone year over a year.

DOGE is irrelevant if we continue to spend at these rates.

We're just going to have tens of billions sitting in treasury accounts losing value over time due to inflation/interest. That money will still be printed and creating more deficit spending.

Money allocated and not spent is better than pumped out indiscriminately.

Yeah, you get the inflation from printing without the money being circulated in the economy, causing negative economic output, with the money ultimately losing value due to inflation

And then when the next DEM comes to power, they spend it all and get credit for the economic boom.

DOGE is irrelevant if we continue to spend at these rates.

Is it better if you have $100 and it costs $99 to pay your bills, or if you have $50 and it takes $49 to pay your bills?

This is not a trick question...

No he's not. Did you miss the CR passed yesterday with Trump approval?


You realize Trump has total authority over the CR. It will not be fully spent. That is his plan to show how cuts can happen and nothing will really be hurt.

Him and Musk are next level for the honors graduate AOC and they rest of the scholars of the dems and many rinos.

Yes. Again, the whole reason nobody listens or even cares to engage with you is your actions daily. And you are doing it in this thread. Hell I'm responding to you doing it in the post.

quote:

And not once... congress. It's always Trump. In fact, it's always Trump in everything you talk about, not just this.

Not once do you speak about the fact of the cart before the horse with unending wars and spending that Trump is tackling. Instead, you attack Trump for doing that.

You ignore the spending up to Covid that had it been under control, covid would have been a blip on the screen.

You ignore the fact that we funded the research that put the virus out there that killed millions on top of millions.

All your focus is on 1.. ONE person. Trump.

You suck at hiding who you are.

Yes and?

Did we have to print money to fund that CR?
