"We only care about deficits when a Democrat is in the White House!"

What happened to the $18 trillion that Trump claimed that tariffs have brought in? Oh I remember. He was lying about that.

Baloney! The tariffs are reducing our debt so fast everyone is getting their Trump Check next month! (Snark over...)

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, another day that will live in infamy, 76,535,898 imbeciles voted against their own economic interests, sending us all into future austerity measures which will be rife with cuts to our social safety net and medical care, 50-year home loans, less schools loans or the middle class, an increase in auto repossessions, high interest rates, and more closed down businesses-- all while the oligarchs feast on Lobster Thermidor, wash it down with Dom Perignon, light up their Churchill Supremos, then argue for more tax cuts.

Think of how high the debt would be if DOGE didn't save one day's worth of spending.
