The true indicator of the extent to which the situation has unraveled can be found in these numbers. 1.8 trillion this year in deficit.

There was a time when swamp filth imagined that the word conservative in some fashion equated to a presumption that tax revenue would increase with growth and solve all of the problems of deficit and debt. That is swamp thinking. That is not conservatism.

It is scary looking back at how no one questioned this thought on the part of alleged conservatives. Whenever anyone would complain about spending, and deficits, and debt the reply would always be that we would grow our way out of it via conservative policies that were going to increase GDP.

Swamp thinking. The filth of the GOP swamp has led to inescapable disaster, and the operative word there is not disaster.

There is no fix. The swamp filth has arranged for their own families to profit and maximize from the efforts of those they deluded. Do you realize what congressional pensions look like?

Buy farmland.

And there will be no knight in shining armor to save us. Biden’s budget included huge deficit spending. But so did Trump’s. Evidently no one on either side (except Rand Paul) cares.

My prediction: Weimar-style hyperinflation. It’s the only way to pay off the deficit, short of defaulting. The only thing I can’t predict is the when.
