    The party of fiscal responsibility, that has spent more than it’s predecessor every single time in my lifetime. Every single time.

    But the dems continue to lean into the tax and spend instead of calling out bullshit, because they were chosen by the rich to be weak.

      But they were setup by the Dems! It was all the regulation and social programs they had to slash on day 1! It’s expensive to cause that much destruction. /s

    Remember that it’s congress that sets the budget.

    And also remember who’s up for reelection in 16 days.

      Indeed, Congress sets the budget in principle, but this administration just went 2 TRILLION dollars over that budget in a single year. As bad as Congress may be, it’s this administration that is primarily at fault in this instance.

      Still wouldn’t put a dent in the budget, or pay back the debt. And the one company that would handle the liquidation needed to get cash from ask the billionaires would be blackrock.
