debt only matters when democrats are in charge |

| Every Democrat who has a chance to speak anywhere, anytime should be talking about this loudly. |

yeah, what happened to all those "Club for Growth GOPers" screaming about the national debt when Obama tried to expand health insurance coverage? Are they happy and silent now that the billionaires got their tax cuts? |

Big difference...democrats used that money to invest in the country, particularly since each inherited economic disasters and needed the funds to help stabilize the US economy. When the GOP runs up debt and deficit spending, it is to give the 1% tax cuts. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. |

+1 And if you look at the data, the biggest increases of the national debt were under Presidents Bush and Trump. Look at the numbers, and stop trying to deny reality. |

Don't forget Reagan. He of the "trickle down" tax cuts, that never trickled down to the average American, but which ballooned the deficit more than any modern President. |

True but, in addition to that, judging from the MAGA that post on this forum, they seem to be more excited about getting rid of immigrants than they do about Trump wasting taxpayer money, conducting military actions overseas, grifting, the Epstein files, or pretty much anything else. As long as he puts on a good show of getting rid of migrants, they seem to accept everything else he does. That's my honest assessment after years on this forum. |

| Republicans did this while placing the largest tax increase on American history through tariffs. The cool thing is those revenues from tariff tax are Trumps. He keeps it as his slush fund. |

| And WHY oh why aren’t the Democrats in congress shouting this from the rooftops and including it EVERY time they speak??? The total deficit as well as our ever growing debt - both the aggregate number AND the per person $ figure. We HAVE to hammer home all the time just how fiscally irresponsible the GOP is when they’re in power. |

The reason we can’t afford to employ our citizens, tax our citizens so much (directly and directly) have terrible infrastructure, failing schools, deplorable health care, ridiculous social security is because every day we pay $2.6Billion in fees for the debt.
We get nothing in return for $2.6 billion a day. Imagine what we could accomplish with $2.6 billion a DAY invested back into our county. Tax a few Billionaires and corporations and get this country back on track. |

I am not understanding why some of you keeping asking MAGA to explain anything tRump does, because they can't and they are coping daily themselves with what fools they've been made of. Outside they say things like this is exactly what they wanted, but saying openly will put them in even bigger grief, of admitting to their worst adversaries, the libs, that their messiah was fake. Some others then find solace in the fact he is making life hard for someone other than them. Just recently, one hard core MAGA whose life has been upended by this admin policies said they are fine because there are some others they want to see having a hard time are indeed having it. There! you get the mentality of these losers, these were all backbenchers for life, and they will remain so. tRump is the ultimate backbenchers leader.

They’re not coping. This is all they have and all they want. MAGAs are nothing but lazy, hate-filled failures whose only desire is to make other people miserable. The rest of us have had enough. |
