It’s now clear how they hit a school. Soooo strategic. Captain Bonespurs is showing the world his incompetence as a Commander in Chief.

No wonder he’s fixated on shoes and decorating. The funny part is he’s forcing awful Florsheim's on everyone and the parent company is suing for the illegal tariffs.

Only donald could make a Bernini look like Montgomery Ward off the rack.

These trump humpers have never even seen the dilapidated sack of adipose tissue they’ve deified.

I can understand why ForFun has trouble understanding my gender based on breasts since he has a rather large set himself.

For a guy that is as important as Marion professes to be, he certainly has an abundance of free time to troll. Perhaps his child bride has already surpassed him in maturity. That would hardly be a challenge.

Have a lovely day in your echo chamber with the other kiddie fiddling fans. Mmm-wah!

You can't cut your way out of the deficit.

The 2025 budget was $7 trillion.

There was a $1.7 trillion deficit for 2025.

So that brings us down to $5.38 trillion in revenue.

$970 billion in interest. $4.41 trillion left.

59% is mandatory spending. That's $3.2 trillion. $1.1 trillion left.

13% is defense spending. That's $1.6 trillion. Whoops, we just ran out of money.

So what are you going to do?

From 1980 to today we have gone off the rails. First the huge tax cuts from 70% highest in 1980 to 28% ish end of the 1980s. I must admit that it appeared to be working because we had a US debt to GDP of 33.27% in 2000. Perfectly fine levels of debt. Today it is 123%. Completely unsustainable and our currency is devaluing because of it. Taxes are revenue, spending is what it is and debt = we spend more than we make. We need to cut spending dramatically ie to where we have a SURPLUS in the budget so we can pay down debt. What would it take to just not add to the debt? 1.7 TRILLION dollars in tax revenue increases and/or spending cuts. So when DOGE is trumpeted as cutting spending but we are loading up 1.7 TRILLION in new debt, they can all kiss my ass because we are severely fucking up. Focus on what matters , not on all the noise and lies[/quote]Easy.... Cut all foreign aid...[/quote]Oh look, marion wants to be the piss boy for billionaires. If the king blames foreign spending then marion parrots him.

If tge king blows 12 billion and disrupts the global economy, marion gets out his pom poms. If the bff of tge worlds most notorious child trafficker has Donnie in his files more than Harry Potter in the Series about HP, marion demands proof.

You’re basically his stooge.

I'm not going to put words in your mouth. I'm not going to make assumptions.

Someone else mentioned that you really don't want to penalize someone for being successful, but the result of that is that as a % of income, poorer people can wind up paying a much higher % of their income in taxes. These same poorer people are in a worse position to be able to do that vs someone considered to be rich. Is that fair?

Yeah, I know nobody said life is fair, but....[/quote]I would add in that our country allows the accumulation of vast wealth. I am fine with that but feel that those who benefit from our country the most, should pay the most. From 1944-1965 the highest tax bracket was 90+%. That timing corresponded with the most growth this country has seen AND the lowest GDP to debt ratios after they paid the WW2 debt down. Ya , they paid the debt down.
