It's silly, fiscally speaking, to not be in debt when you're wealthy.
Because inflation, makes long-term debt cheaper to pay off.

This is also why Capitalist economies always have a (low) rate of inflation.

Capitalism is an economic paradigm designed to enrich those who are already wealthy, at the cost of those who need things like jobs and loans, from those who are already wealthy.

It's sad having to explain "why inflation" to Republicans, but this is the economic reality we live in now.

He's also too dense to see what's happening right in front of his face, preferring to believe everything is just fine.

He can see the fascism happening, and he likes the fascism happening.
But can't define fascism so he can't identify the things he likes are fascist.

He sees Law and Order, National Security, Traditional American Values.
He doesn't see how those things could possibly be tools of fascism.

Republicans know fascism is bad... but they doesn't know what fascism is.
They know -- from years of having to pretend to tolerate blacks, gays, immigrants, and Muslims -- not to say Trump is racist, Trump is fascist.
Even as it's plain as day that Trump is racist, and Trump is fascist.

Great news, Campbell's Soup Company.
You ought to be thriving in the Trump Economy!
You just need a better spokesperson.

This is a never-ending cycle.

Typical Republican head in the sand way to go through life.
You might as well have just said your usual:

Thoughts And Prayers.
Nothing Can Be Done.

I simply refuse to take on debt anymore and haven't for over a decade.

Good for you.

Got any advice for people who weren't born with a trust fund and can't pull that off?

How would you have them purchase a home without taking on debt, or is your solid financial advice to be a renter forever and never build up any home equity?

"IMO people got used to borrowing cheap money to get whatever they wanted"

That's the billionaires too.
Billionaires sheer when the Fed cuts interest rates, and cry when rates go up.
For most of us, those rates have no bearing on our day to day finances, and we're stuck with whatever rates are when we buy a house; maybe if we're lucky we get to re-fi.

Poor people aren't the reason people are poor.
An economy that is designed to serve the rich at the expense of everyone else is why people are poor.
Don't you know any poor people? Surely you're surrounded by them.

"The amount of 'want' is hurting people."

The amount billionaires want is why paychecks are stagnant for the bottom 80% of households.

Worse, it indicates to persuadable voters that Trump's priorities are profoundly misplaced at a time when the public is losing patience with his administration's failure to rein in consumer costs.

Help me out with something here.
Why is persuading voters with the truth about Trump's priorities, and Trump's inability to constrain inflation, a bad thing?

More "primitive" health venues lacking our resouces placed COVID patients on their stomachs.

That raises an interesting question.
Why didn't you place COVID patients on their stomachs?
Didn't you want to achieve better health results for your patients?

"Nobody on the left would have shrugged off a video like this if it were 6 Republicans during the Obama presidency."

Look, it's one of JeffJ's most prolific avoidance tactics!
He talks about things that never happened.
To deflect from things that did happen.

This video to the troops was and remains a stupid political stunt without a point.

I bet their patients didn't have as many co-morbidities as fat, out of shape, diabetic, Republican Americans.

I bet they achieved better results when it came to people wearing masks too.

Funny how you don't blame Trump, for botching the pandemic response so badly it killed an excess of about one million Americans.

What's up with that? Maybe you don't believe Trump botched the pandemic response o badly it killed an excess of about one million Americans, that might be it.

"A Democratic witness who worked for Planned Parenthood testified that men can become pregnant."

Show us on the doll where it touched you, when somebody said men can get pregnant.
Thanks.

"Ok, so what? If they "settled", then they shouldn't be speaking on a settled event."

Katie Johnson never settled with Trump, and is not under NDA.
There are twenty-five others, all of whom you call liars, all of whom you deny were assaulted by Trump.

I don't see why you can't handle the truth on this one.
Your whole shtick is without men like you to protect women, they get raped.
Well, you weren't there to protect these girls, and guess what happened?
Trump raped them.
Own it.
