you did it Joe! thanks for all the debt

https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Dictator Joe has officially added $9.3 trillion to the national debt.

reply

Compare it to Russia's national debt of only $437,266,084,627 and India's $3,370,427,923,589.

reply

but most of that money went to Joe and his family.

reply

The Cabal banks are full of that money. If only there was some way to pay it all off.

Well yeah. The only thing Dictator Joe was good at was ruining my America.

reply

cmon now , its a team effort , its not just Trump & Joe , its all the leaders , plus the good citizens of the US have together accumulated that debt.

reply

I like how adding nearly $9t to the national debt is not a big deal now. you guys will be whining in 2 years about the debt and will blame Trump for everything.

reply

"you guys will be whining in 2 years about the debt"

Are you suggesting that Trump is going to increase the debt more than Biden did in Biden's first two years? It's only February.

reply

The debt is a problem only if you make it a problem. As long as everyone ignores it it will be fine.

reply

I am sure this will apply to Trump in 4 years. lol

JoWilli has got to be either one of the most uninformed or dishonest posters here, and that’s a tough position to reach.

Republicans don’t care about national debt, nor should they. But they recognize that it tends to help them during campaign season since it plays right in the mindset of voters who deem themselves “fiscally conservative” in their personal lives.

What matters is the Debt-to-GDP ratio of a nation, and for a wealthy country like USA, it is in relatively fine standing. In fact, if the government shut down for a single year (or two at most) they could probably pay the debt off in full. Bond holders know this which is why the Dollar $ is the world currency, and no one is stressing on default and collapse outside of political games.

For the US to pay it off in full would almost assuredly trigger a recession and economists seem to understand that holding a constant surplus is both dangerous and unpredictable.

Face it. The national debt is not, in any way, comparable to a family budget.

As a liberal, seeing the government bureaucracy being stacked by billionaires is the real threat. I hope to vote for Democrats who will, hopefully soon in my lifetime, be ready and willing to propose a Constitutional Amendment for a national “wealth tax” to abolish billionaires. As an individual, you should only be able to accumulate $999,999,999.99 before the federal government confiscates the rest for the privilege of residing in a country with the opportunity and infrastructure to make that ostentatious success possible. And obviously we need campaign finance reform, too, and the GOP care zilch about that.

For Elon Musk, that UnitedHealthCare CEO, Brian Thompson would be a literal peasant in comparison. Think about that. It’s absurd.

They want an oligarchy, and it’s not “socialism” to think that’s bad for God’s sake.

reply

just posting the facts, I am sure dems everywhere would appreciate this. lol

reply

This is correct.

"The national debt is not, in any way, comparable to a family budget."

Perhaps. I prefer not to Fuck Around And Find Out.

In 1980 the National Debt amounted to 32% of GDP.

In 2023 it was 122%

Who are you to tell the wealthy how much they are permitted to make. Why should they have to pay a “wealth tax” for working hard in order to achieve their wealth. You do realize most of very wealthy are benefactors who fund hospital wings,
endowments for college tuition, provide jobs, grants for various institutions, etc.
