Does anyone think the debt can grow without any consequences?

“If we can’t increase the national debt, you can’t increase yours.”

[bigdaddy45]

These “lawmakers” are the same boneheads who acted totally shocked when, after two years of printing and giving out money as fast as they could, inflation started to rise. I mean, who could have seen THAT coming??

[Gay State Conservative]

Gee...I wonder which lawmakers are screaming the loudest.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Climate change is the reason. We must spend more to save our self from a non-problem.

[hanamizu]

Gee, maybe we can explain it to them in monosyllabic words that they can understand:

---

They’ve already beaten you to it. “Trump’s fault!” “Jan 6!”

[MarMema]

Hilarious. Love it. Thanks for posting!

[Moltke]

The collective Alfred E. Neumanns: “Who, us?”

[AnotherUnixGeek]

"I'm outraged that I'm being held accountable for my crazed, delusional and completely irresponsible spending".

[TornadoAlley3]

Fake outrage.

[Freedom4US]

Nah, the gold standard was dead long before Nixon.

All he did was close the “gold window”, because Ft. Knox was being emptied. He had no choice. It is a “temporary” pause in convertibility, you see.

Any day now, I’m sure.

[Reverend Wright]

It was Transphobia what did it !

[fortes fortuna juvat]

And the feds don’t have the trillions of dollars needed to bail out the cities, property owners, and banks.

The feds will have the money soon, once they clean out everyone’s bank account, pension plans, etc.

[Machavelli]

Some of these legislators are delusional, others are the ones who knowingly instigated the coup of the US government.
