WOW. 2 trillion yearly deficits BUT Biden’s brilliant economic policies will “save” 1.8 trillion over ten years. Government maffs at its finest.

They’ve run out of new lies to tell, and keep recycling the old ones. Like cheap paper plates, they become droopy and wet with overuse.

“Blaming Trump for Biden’s deficit spending is absurd.“
What’s even more absurd is Obama claiming Trumps good economy was his! Barack Hussein Obama is too stupid to understand Supply side economics. His “wealth redistribution “ scheme went no where.

The ‘continuing resolution’ conspiracy both needs to be fully exposed AND end.
