There is no major political figure that is willing to address our debt issue. In fact, we seem to be entering an era where politicians are embracing the sheer idiocy of MMT.
That said, Trump has added $2 trillion to the debt in less than a year, while adding ~$8 trillion from his first term. So he is the maestro in debt accumulation.

Trump, our elected representatives, and all the people in old in the military industrial complex who stand to benefit from this won’t be around when the bill actually comes due.
Profit now, let someone else deal with the consequences later. This thought is plaguing our country.

Trump is an imperialist. He want his legacy to be expanding the united states territory and building monuments to himself.
He doesn’t care about the financial future of the country.

This fucking pile of shit is doing absolutely everything to destroy the nation, and nobody has done a goddamn thing to stop him.
This regime needs to be destroyed.

But investors will make short term gains. Who cares if the rest of our country has to pay it back by not having health care, right? Think about those portfolios!

America will be his eighth and final bankruptcy.
The nation cannot afford to have Republican presidents who continue to run on fiscal responsibility but immediately create new large government agencies.

At least we can sell the weapons when we’re done to get some of the money back. Most of our budget seems completely wasted at this point other than that. Math and science scores in the dumpster, health at an all time low. We’re seeing zero back so far on the social initiatives of the last 50 years. In fact it almost seems like they’ve been a net negative. At least the military keeps us safe like it’s supposed to

I’m really confused – how does this plan work?
The Trump admin wants to ramp up military spending to attack key allies? Won’t that invite the entire NATO alliance to just drop the dollar as the reserve currency?

He wants to increase the military budget because of all the wars he’s actively inciting. Provoking other countries and our own citizens seems to be his agenda.

Let’s get this right, we’re going to increase spending on the military, while reducing funding for the care of disabled veterans. The VA just eliminated ten thousand jobs because they claimed that they had gone unfilled for so long, they were no longer needed. These aren’t unskilled jobs, they are Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians assistants. Jobs desperately needed to be filled because of the demand from over 20 years of wartime staffing of our military. They weren’t filled because Elon Musk, an unelected trillionaire, took a chainsaw to our national budget. Trump has displayed his indifference and contempt for veterans since he first took office. Don’t forget that we are suckers and losers while he’s a coward who paid a doctor to disqualify him from the draft because of bone spurs. He’s a moron and together with Hegseth, you have the IQ of a chicken. Both of them are cowards and couldn’t lead a squad into combat let alone our entire nation’s military. We need to get our priorities straight and keep these idiots from destroying our country.

Wasn’t it part of the election campaign to make cutbacks on defense, because “America First” meant fewer foreign engagement. But surprise surprise, even that was a lie.

USA will not pay down their debt while GOP is in operation. They will be unwilling to have a state that is functional enough to do so and is able to collect that kind of money.
GOP will burn the US economy, their function the last decades have been to obstruct and keep DEM from making stuff like ACA work and risk the health insurance profit.
