It’s our overspending.

I despised Biden but can we face facts? The deficit was 1.7 TRILLION under him in 2023. This admin is set to reach Almost TWO TRILLION this year, 2025.

If Trump does not get a handle on our deficit , we will get destroyed in 2028 if not in 2026. DOGE is great but it’s not enough, someone is going to have to cut budgets.

Why because pumping all this money into the economy is making $55 dollar buckets of KFC chicken.

And 1.8 in 2024. COB estimates 1.9 in 2025 which I doubt includes what DODGE is finding. Next year should yield some decent cuts to Fed. payrolls. Currently payrolls is 5% of Fed spending.

The wife and I occasionally go to Ihop for breakfast. 2x2x2 selection with a coffee for both runs $30 plus tip. Thats 2 eggs, crispy bacon and 2 small pancakes for each. The wife mentioned the last time we went that the pancakes had were smaller.
Branded Burger chain, burger for two, shared order of onion rings and tea. Yep, $30 plus tip. Crafty devils charge $4.59 per iced tea serving (colored water).
Its been this way since the biden stolen election.

Where are all the deficit hawks praising the federal revenue the tariffs are generating? Tariffs are expect to reduce the deficit by $400 billion per year.
