Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!
And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.
The accrued interest on the national debt now exceeds $1 trillion a year—more than we spend on national defense
And yet Congress continues to add to the debt at an astounding rate of $2 trillion per year—with our national debt growing faster than our economy
Unless we turn this around quickly, our debt and deficit will increasingly threaten our ability to fund the basic operations of government
But have no fear, these massive deficits are “essential”—that is, they play an essential role in Congress’s ability to avoid making difficult decisions while “getting things done” (i.e., spending more money), which seems to be the prime directive of The Uniparty™️
This harms hardworking Americans—especially the poor, who are hit hardest by the invisible, highly regressive tax this inevitably creates (in the form of inflation)
Meanwhile, big spenders in Congress—in both parties—forge ahead, knowing well that the media will praise them for voting to spend more, and relentlessly criticize anyone who wants to cut … well … basically anything
No amount of media praise directed at politicians can provide moral justification for the immense harm that this cruel, vicious cycle inflicts on hardworking Americans
Our annual US budget deficit is going to be over $2 trillion per year going forward.
We pay over $100 billion per month in interest on the national debt. $1.2 trillion per year. That is about 25% of all government revenue going to pay interest on the debt.
@BasedMikeLee Absolutely and I would take it one step further, if there is a cumulative deficit threshold then they are required to have a budget surplus until the threshold is met
@RepMTG So disappointing, a lot of posturing and talking big game and accomplishing nothing. Start to believe it really is a one party bureaucracy. Keep their gravy trains running.
I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake.
We can and must do better.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.
No, nobody has “died” because of the cuts to USAID.
USAID is essentially a fraudulent organization that should be disbanded, and the people who ran it, investigated.
