Good thing the fiscally responsible party is in power

Oh man, this must be that FiScAl ReSpOnSiBiLiTy I keep hearing about from the
reichrightEven years ago, you could tell how honest the Tea Party people were by asking if they’d defund the police or military.
so rather than just pay a tax like a socialist country would up front, US is now only just surviving on tariffing …which is paid … by their own people ….as a tax. On top of whatever tax you already pay ……while digging more deficits.
all while essential services dry up and wither at every level of government…
Just for the sake of argument: It’s possible to create gasoline from any hydrocarbon feedstock (wood, cow shit, OSB scraps, rice hulls, sugar) for about $12/gallon. At 42 gallons of gas/jet fuel/diesel/kerosene per barrel of oil, that’s roughly $504 of finished product per barrel (@ $12/gal).
That means $50 billion would get you about 100 million barrels of synthesized oil. Since the US consumes about 20,000,000 barrels of oil per day we’d be able to synthesize 5/7ths of our oil consumption from waste biomass for that $50 billion per week. Food for thought.
They say anything to get into power. Literally anything. None of it matters and they know it.
A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking real money.
…but what about the bones?
They should be used for broth, not to sharpen the dentures of a senile old racist…
This will have to be re-edited to ONE TREELLION DOLLARS.
Thank god Doge found all that extra money.
Uggg this old trope.
It’s not really “borrowing” when they print the money.
It’s just another wealth transfer from the poor to the extremely privileged.
With quantitative easing, the two are more similar than different

As a solitary meat popsicle with limited understanding of fucked up shit, at what “level” of fucked up shit is the US finally and officially “perma-fucked”?
Every time my meat popsicle brain thinks “That’s probably the last straw” they find thousands more straws somewhere AND I DON’T GET IT.That was back at the moment when Trump threw around enough tariffs to make countries with longstanding enmity sign direct trade deals with each other, cutting us out as the middleman. Those will never, ever come back (they were mostly forged in the wake of WWII, when the US had the only functional economy)
As for when we’ll see it? I think we have a “oh shit” world stage moment if the US tries to attack Greenland, as Denmark will then have to defend - and then by chain of treaties WWIII kicks off.
If we avoid that fate somehow, then there probably won’t be a specific moment - the US will over twenty or so years just slowly collapse in on itself and other countries will quietly start ignoring US while publicly paying lip service. … - There will probably be an event when we publicly can’t afford the giant military we have which will be an existential crisis for a news cycle.
That’s my attempt to read the tea leaves in the crystal ball.
I’m going to start fantasizing about 15 years from now being invaded by Canada and running out into the street to thank them for it
May the streets run red with maple leaves
Hey hoser, I’ll be happy t’a meet ya there with a brewski.
We’ll exchange brewskis, insult each others’ brands, and shakes hands abouts it.
Sounds like a plan!
Bigger shock is that somebody loaned him anything since his bankruptcies have been public knowledge for decades
It’s the federal reserve loaning the government money, there’s no way they’re paying for all this in bond auctions.
Still makes him a larcenous thief
I mean ya he’s handing himself money and handing your grandchildren debt. They’ve been doing this around the clock since 2008. The government only exists to help billionaires steal your hard earned money.
Jokes on them, ain’t no kids to have geandkids
None of us are which is funny as fuck, but one of us will be the last generation of old farts with no kids to take care of us.
It’s certainly on my mind. I figure, I’ll keep going as long as my wife’s alive, she’s worth the struggle. Once she’s gone, it may be time for a revolving cylinder style exit
Oh there’s always another bright moment to look forward too. I’m sorry to hear about your wife, cherish the time you have.

Americans, is it in deep enough to react?
“Americans, why haven’t you built a parallel system that can take on the strongest military in the world yet? It’s been over a year.”
Edit: see what I mean?
It’s been over 60
But also, we keep paying one half of America to kill the other half. That’s got a stabilizing effect
So maybe if you could not be responsible with it, you should have never had it.
Isn’t that one of the excuses you use to keep bombing children around the world?
Yes another non-answer.
You can’t pretend you are up against your own military when you have literally done nothing yet
But no worries, you take this lazy stand because you couldn’t care less about the harm caused abroad as long as you can keep sipping your latte… but the USA is already falling off the cliff, you just prefer to keep your head in the sand a long as possible
Let me post about it so I feel validated by being on the right side. That’ll show em.
You’re welcome to come help out
Easy to say
Not as easy as <checks notes> marching on weekends to ensure minimum disruption while your country massacres school girls under the command of a pedophile… but certainly non of this if your concern
Fuck you. Ignorant twat.

Trump has never paid his bills a day in his life.
He fucked over his own chauffeur, and thousands of his contractors and employees. He’s declared bankruptcy something like eight times, leaving investors with nothing. He’s gone to court over a thousand times; no other real estate developer has these problems. Interestingly, his mentor was Roy Cohn, who had the same issue of skipping bills (coincidentally I am sure).
So, long story short for libbies, Trump will buy a company named “American Fury MAGA USA Friends” and transfer all the country’s debt to it, and THEN that company will declare a new feature he’s devised, called “Supreme Bankruptcy” which cannot be overturned by the Supreme Court because it’s Supreme, too.
Problem solved, in your face commies

Related to this problem, our entire country’s financial system is based on debt; we don’t even control our own money. The FED is controlled by select appointed bankers, who practically all work for banks or are on the boards of banks and investment firms before and after their appointed terms.
The dollar is worth less every year for a reason, it’s called profiteering. It’s designed to collapse; with each collapse these same interests buy everything once prices are tanked. Then, they start the process again. Every year it gets exponentially worse because math is mean.
They don’t even hide it.
