I would like to point out that almost everything involved in making it possible for you to post what you just did was brought into existence in no small part thanks to deficit spending. The government taking out super cheap debt to pay for ★■◆● nobody else wants to do has an absolutely amazing track record if you actually look at what has been done with it in the last 100+ years. The investments that were made using that cheap debt have generated massively more economic returns than the actual amount of debt in service even now.

The Republicans and Democrats in power give absolutely no shits about the debt when they are in control because it is a total non-issue even now. Republicans are only pretending to care about it right now because Democrats are in charge, the last time Republicans were in charge they massively ballooned the debt with the dumbest tax code overhaul in modern history. The whole debate over the debt is just a thing professional politicians use to distract as many people as possible from the much more real problem of rapidly accelerating and uncontrolled wealth inequality.

Paying off the debt would actually be pretty easy if they just taxed the ever accelerating wealthy, and the funny part is that it wouldn't actually hurt the wealthy that much. You see the thing is, the debt is money the government has borrowed, this means it has to have been borrowed from someone and for the overwhelming majority of the debt in service it is being borrowed from the wealthy. So even if you tax the wealthy to pay off the debt, the majority of the taxes would be used to immediately pay them back the amount that was taxed with interest! Which highlights the real reason nobody pays off the debt; because the wealthy don't WANT the government to stop having debt, its an infinite money generating machine for the wealthy that requires no work on their part.

Well, I hope you're right Krom. I still remember the 1970's and 80's inflation and it sucked. We almost couldn't afford a home back then the mortgage rates were so high. We got stuck with a 14% rate for a while until the rates began to drop.

Anyone who voted Biden is an official enemy of the United States of America and God willing you will face the consequences of such an ignorant and idiotic choice.

Take the poison vax for the common cold and perish from the totally unnecessary side effects. That's what you deserve.

...can I call Poe's Law here? Because I'm totally calling Poe's Law.

Republicans have officially gone off their rockers. They're now literally worshiping and kissing the boots a crooked felonious thin-skinned moron, WHO LOST THE ELECTION BECAUSE HE'S AN IDIOT ASSWIPE AND PEOPLE GOT FED UP, NOT BECAUSE IT WAS STOLEN. His only desire was to become Dictator for Life and destroy American democracy, stomping on and personally destroying anyone who called him names or crossed him while doing it. Poor little baby bully. As a liberal-leaning person, I'm no socialist and I certainly don't worship Biden. There are times I disagree with some of his policies, because yes, I can see his faults and foibles and I can think for myself. Right now, most "Republicans" aren't thinking at all because their brains have long since rotted into an orange, slimy, stinking mush after tasting the Trump Orange-Aid and becoming addicted to it like it was cocaine in 2016. Every damn one of them are now certifiable Trump automatons without brains.

Thanks for that one TigerRaptorFX.

Oh no, you don't.

If you want to play "trigger the libs" here, you've come to the wrong neighborhood.

Ferno you must know by now that the internet is filled with doctors and lawyers that when not getting high score and being Regional Wing Commanders playing "LaserShieldMaster3000" also know all the inner workings of world politics, economics, the social sciences, art, music, fashion, and they're a computer programmer. Also, they went to high school with a famous baseball player and their grandma is a really nice woman.

There used to be a time when you could easily tell the difference between something so absurdly over the top it was meant to be humorous, and an earnest telling of one's views. The GOP's fascist turn is really killing my ability to detect sarcasm.

If you voted for Biden, you are either a pedophile or an enabler of pedophilia and yes you will be held accountable.

Wow you are impressively stupid, what a good laugh it was to read those few sentences.

Yep, the GOP has gone so far down the abyss that it is no longer possible to reliably distinguish between the real thing and a parody.

Here's my "opinion".



And here's an example of your typical Republican neighbor in his native habitat.

What's weirder, being paranoid that your neighbor is recording you and uploading it to youtube, or recording your neighbor and uploading it to youtube?

Watching it on youtube.

NOW ISRAEL FALLS.

Israel falls, so pretty.

This is not a pro/anti Israel comment. Observation: They’re armed to the teef, have a neat iron shield anti-missile thingy that seems to do alright percentage wise, a population who have compulsory military duty so the boys and girls know how to point a gun, they’re wealthy, educated, technologically innovative (sometimes through espionage),and somehow manage to live in one of earth’s most beautiful places surrounded by sworn enemies.

Oh yeah, and they *don’t* have nuclear capabilities. They rollin’

Who'd a thought that the daughter of Darth Cheney would get kicked off her committee position because she didn't kiss Trump's butt enough to keep spreading his lies about a stolen election like a good foot soldier. It doesn't matter that she voted for Trump's adgenda nearly 98% of the time. The moron they're replacing her with only voted with Trump about 77% of the time. So now Liz Cheney is now on the anti-Trump warpath and more power to her. Good. One of the only Repiblicans around with the temerity to slam all things Trumpian.



As for Isreal, they have enough weapons to level their entire country if need be. At some point, Isrealis are going to have to decide if taking over Palestinian land bit by bit and pissing them off in the process is worth the price of all out war.

I had to look up "Poe's Law"
Thank you, that is useful information.

Sadly, it's true of both the left and the right.

Tunnelcat: Don't be so thankful for Cheney. She's back to her regular bull★■◆●. She only did that to try and save her skin.
