“I’ll pay you back next week, man, I swear!”
Well that cant be good for the budget. I wonder why. The conservatives aren’t outraged by this. Because they are a Bunch of two faced hypocritical assholes that why.
Sounds like there needs to be some sort of efficiency department set up
We can call it the Department Of Grifting Everyone
For healthcare? Education? Can’t possibly imagine what …
You gotta be willing to spend if you want to build the biggest and best ballroom ever made.
Maybe they are secretly building a super efficient and expansive social safety net behind our backs and making it a surprise!!!
You are more likely to become soylent green.
Dammit! Now you made me hungry again.
Just nibble on your finger, Food!
From blood bag to sack lunch: the life & times of a pre-wasteland pleb.
I hope so, for your sake.
It’ll be ready in just two weeks.
No they are building a space ray to shoot down some planet we never heard of.
space wall, but the aliens are paying.
Are they paying directly for the space wall or are we collecting via tariffs again?
Poor Pluto. I’ve heard of you, baby.
Probably earth honestly.
Well don’t blame me, I voted for kodos.
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!
They say anything to get into power. Literally anything. None of it matters and they know it.
no wonder they had to slash all the departments, and not keep the extended subsidies for healthcare.
Overseen by man with significant history of refusing to repay loans.
Hahahahaha
Ah, Republicans. They make a huge deal about spending any time they are not in power and then spending like a drunk Sailor when in power.
Its a deliberate strategy they’ve used for the past 50 years. Its called the Two Santa’s Strategy.
There’s someone who knows history!!
Every accusation a confession
I just saw a study that said if Trump continued on at this rate, he will be responsible for 55% of the national debt. And that was BEFORE the Iran War.
When we get these psychopaths out, and start to rebuild, we already know that they’ll suddenly get fiscally conservative, and they’ll pretend to be concerned about spending.
When that happens, just take theirs away. THEY are responsible for the debt, so if it bothers them so much, they should be the ones to make the sacrifice to pay it back.
When we get these psychopaths out, and start to rebuild
Lmfao, I hope you’re not setting your calendars for 2 years from now.
Because that’s not gonna happen.
Oh, yes it is.
They already pretended to care about spending and then some guy called Big Balls helped Elon Musk harvest all our data
remember russia hacked the moment doge got access to the SS/ and other data.
I hate how that is not even a little taken out if context or exaggerated.
I kinda suspect that debts to people and companies within the US would mostly get erased. Because at the end of the day, money is a fictional thing we invented to make it easier to conduct trade. Odds are that we would take away the real valuables from the former elites - their buildings, land, assets, and finding jobs for honest workers at places that don’t suck donkey.
We might be able to beg foreign nations to delay or restructure debts. Maybe. Depends on whether the diddler in chief presses the nuclear button.
Historically this is always solved through inflation. Always.
Link to study please please please
Republican administration completely fucks up the budget, leaves office with massive deficit
Democrat administration spends the next 4 years cleaning up that clusterfuck
GOP tells it’s dumbfuck base that it’s all the Dems fault that their 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 gets 8 mpg and they’re gonna fix everything
Dumbfuck republican voters fall for it, yet again, because they never passed the 9th grade and have been huffing diesel exhaust for the past 20 years
Dumbfuck masses rally and vote in another Republican administration
That cycle has gone on repeat over and over and over again for literally my entire lifetime. It’s all I know. That has been my experience with with the US government, for my whole life.
I’m tired, boss.
It’s the Two Santa Strategy, they have been doing that since Reagan.
assume the dems are going to get in, given the recent events i dont see how some of them will get elected, with people like schumer/hakeems and the other dinos, NEWSOM is pretty unattractive right now . they are complicit to the GOP agenda, only AOC, bernie, and maybe some other is fighting it.
are people even going to remember what hakeem and schumer did in the next election, who they tried to shield when voting for the shutdown.
And the pendulum swings harder every time…
Maybe if more people showed up and voted instead of bitching about the choices available, we wouldn’t get a broligarch blowing republican in office every 4-8 years. Less than 70% of voters ever show up, so those of us who don’t show up are also responsible for letting the republicans win every other cycle or so.
Dumbfucks will always dumbfuck. Trick is to get the voters who stayed home. The numbers I found with a quick search …
Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote.
Of the 65.3% of the eligible voters who voted.
Which means actually only 32.5% of Americans voted for him, in the sense of “could be arsed to get off the couch and cast a ballot”.
That’s an encouraging number to work with.
Democrats meanwhile are incapable of appealing to a lot of voters.
Classic, poor guy haha…
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.
But how much profit would that generate for shareholders? /s
wouldnt it be pretty expensive to bio-convert plants/animals into fuel. instead of just extracting it from the ground. and not even including extracting it from things like corn.
That’s when we get into greenhouse effect, climate change, sea-level rise al brought to us by fossil fuels.
If they use plants, then it can be recently sequestered CO2, breaking even.
About $12/gallon. If you count the real cost of oil (forever wars, climate catastrophe), it’d be more than that. That’s my point.
Ah, your brain works like mine, it see the simple math everywhere.
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.

I prefer physical silver as a store of value personally. It’s needed in everything from new solar panels, to those fancy AI GPU racks and to a lot of the missiles that are being fired right now. Every missile has like a min of 10oz of silver in them with some supposedly having 100s, and then they just explode… Plus it’s shiny.
I have a bit of that too
Fuck crypto.
Cheer up mate she’ll come right
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.

The best way to make money in that country is to steal.
his bankruptcies are intentional to allow russia to money laundering through his properties. he also somehow ousted MARY TRUMP of the will of his parents too.
The Rothschild family and banks are delighted with the shit situation. They have the USA by the balls.
