In the first 45 or so days of FFY 25, the Harris Biden Administration has piled $501 billion on to the national debt.

Now just a hair below $36 trillion dollars

If Kamala had hired the gE resident Chief Economist, the working poor across the country would have realized their inability to afford both food and gas was just an illusion.

It was just another conspiracy theory.

We should just end the entirety of the transfers to states. That solves almost the entire deficit.

Well, it’s a big chunk of the spending according to Dax’s chart. If Trump is going to be dictator for a day like he said, he should just cut all of that and boom balanced budget. Will probably hurt low income states more than high income states.

Maybe because it's been 25 years since I was in class in Manhattan so i might be outdated in my thinking, but a 25% increase in most of our products and a large chunk of our food, can't be good for the economy right?

I was in that class too. I’m pretty sure they also said that making your neighbor country much poorer doesn’t make their citizens want to stay and not move to your country. I think I got a D, so what do I know?

Relax guys, it's just a way to force other countries to the negotiating table for more favorable trade terms
