Paul Ryan smacks down Scott Bessent's claim that the US "can grow our way out" of $40T in debt.
“I believe in growth, but it can only go so far. You can’t fix this problem without growth, but you can’t fix this problem only with growth.”

@HITCIT Being Speaker doesn't give you the authority to control the US federal debt. Because the Speaker isn't the sole decision-maker; US presidents are also very influential.
When did Paul Ryan gain control of both the US presidency and the Speakership of the House? Never.
But Trump has this, and he had the chance for it, yet he chose to plunge the US into even greater debt.
Trump and Paul Ryan are not on the same side when it comes to debt.
Low-IQ Trump and his admin (except Rubio) don't have the intellectual capacity to handle the situation they’ve created to be honest.
I hope the US, under Trump's presidency, doesn't get into another serious war with another country.
BREAKING: Russian officials have briefed Iran that the CIA Director Ratcliffe's Moscow visit delivered a message with the US asking Moscow to press Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Russian entities would otherwise face designations under Operation Economic Outcast. Russia declined, and told Iran the threatened measures were of limited consequence, according to two senior Iranian sources with knowledge of the briefing.
The message also warned that Russian banks, traders and shipping entities tied to Iranian oil, gold and aviation will be sanctioned under the operation unless Moscow moves to close those channels.
I'm not surprised. Trump & Lindsey Graham's influence in South Carolina is strong enough to make anyone a US senator.
I wish Darline Graham all the best. I hope she can carry on Lindsey Graham's legacy 🙏🏻

The Iranian regime should be thankful that Trump is the POTUS.
If the US had a clever, knowledgeable, and experienced president, life wouldn't be good for them at all.

Ronald Reagan has a message for MAGA as Trump escalates the trade war with Canada:
“We should beware of the demagogues who are willing to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world, all while cynically waving the American flag.”
