In August, the US federal government spent $345 billion more than its revenue. Trump is indeed a new kind of Conservative.

    1. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, anyone with an understanding of basic math and finance understands that such fiscal profligacy is utterly unsustainable.

      No that’s not new conservativism. Thats good old fashioned Reagan conservativism—complain about debt while democrats hold the White House and run it up when they’re in the White House.

      No he isn’t. Stop pretending that lies about conservatives are true. They’re all wasteful and spend more than we have. They want to do giveaways for their friends and force Democrats to cut from people who actually need to money.

    4. Trump keeps floating the idea that we can do away with income taxes and replace them with tariffs, yet tariffs can’t even cover the deficit.

    5. And everyone who is not uber-wealthy has stopped spending on anything other than extremely urgent necessities, because between inflation and the tariffs, the prices on everything have jumped. I’ve noticed that there is much more demand for used everything on FB Mktplc, but eventually, the backlog of used stuff for sale will be bought up.

      I am afraid that we are headed for stagflation, at best.

    6. Can we not spend more than we take in taxes? Is it really that much to ask for. I mean you ask anyone is it a good idea to live on loans and most people will tell you no

      Raise Revenge and take out whatever and whenever Fam. The bottom line doesn’t matter anymore. THEY will just print mid Monopoly money. That’s the biggest clue other than Clue. Who? What. Nope, I wasn’t even born.
