Our Debt Is Increasing 6 Billion Dollars Per Day

[gab13by13]

Last year our debt increased 2 trillion dollars. Our debt is now 134% of our GDP, our GDP can't pay the interest on our debt.

Our debt is 39.1 trillion dollars, I just can't wait to see how those Magat "conservatives" balance the budget in 2026.

Remember when those Republican conservatives talked about the debt every damn day? Now we have a Gestapo police force that has a higher budget than our military and the "conservatives" just created a partial shutdown unless we give the Gestapo more money.
We are spending a billion dollars a day on a war our president chose to start and now he wants 200 billion more dollars to continue this war.

Our debt to GDP is 134% which means that our debt in the future is going to increase at a faster pace.

I'm guessing that my post about our debt will be the first and last time it is mentioned, haven't seen it in the MSM yet, guess we will have to wait until we ever get a Democratic president to see "conservatives" talk about it?

I never worried about our debt when our GDP covered it, it is way off from covering it now. Isn't consumer spending 70% of our GDP? How will AI make up that difference when AI takes all of our jobs?

1. So, the solution is to stop collecting fedderal gasoline taxes and cut NIH funding by 20%, according to the WH.

3. I stand corrected,

ICE is the highest funded law enforcement agency, with funding more than many countries' military's.

4. Native Americans looked seven generations ahead; capitalists look one quarter ahead.

There's our problem. Everything we do is for short term gain. Republicans like to say the country started to go downhill when we turned our backs on God, & I like to remind them, "Nothing says who your God is like putting IN GOD WE TRUST on your currency." Everything for profit is going to kill everything good & beautiful, & you can take that to the bank.

6. rethugs don't care about the debt and they never have

and if anyone could point out for me a piece of legislation they have passed that contradicts my claim, i'll be happy to reconsider it.

7. Tax cuts for the rich

These giveaways to the rich are a prime example of their lack of concern about deficits. As long as they can mine cash from the country for their Oligarchs deficits don't matter.
