It’s particularly distressing that even Trump didn’t care about the wild deficit spending. When asked about it, he said something along the lines of It’s not my problem. I’ll be gone before it gets really bad.

I suppose only a balanced-budget constitutional amendment can save us now. And it would have to come from the states, as Congress sure doesn’t want any restrictions on its spending.

When is the last time the Congress even made a pretense at submitting a budget, balanced or otherwise. They’re running on continuing spending resolutions.

Trump has a way to deal with trillions spent that is to talk about China paying “reparations”.

In one speech Trump talked 60 trillion dollars needed from China for causing COVID.

Policy towards China is becoming increasingly confrontational like with Russia.

Perhaps that’s the end game extract money from China with China assessed the blame for COVID.

Really? Trump did what he could to reduce expenses.

“I’ll be gone before it really gets bad?” DON’T QUOTE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Find better information.

If you want to find the culprits in this fiscal idiocy, we should all just look in the mirror.

This isn't a political problem. It's an inevitable course of events with any democratic system. Almost any political candidate who runs on a campaign of fiscal austerity is going to get his ass kicked on Election Day.
