  • What's happening now

    From Dim Witte@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 25 23:22:08 2023
    . . . boils down to what's happening to frugal-living. Seems like the Democratic Party intention of raising the debt limit and going into more deficit spending will leave those depending on fixed income "in the lurch," (to leave (someone) without help
    or protection when it is needed.)

    Raising the debt limit just means agreeing to pay the bills for what
    they have previously spent. Not raising the limit is like you deciding
    not to pay your bills for what you have already bought.

    Funny how the deficit ALWAYS skyrockets when the GOP is in power. They
    are really good at giving huge tax cuts to their rich and corporate
    bosses and cutting any spending that might actually benefit the American workers, and then whining when the Democrats are in power about "deficit spending" that seems never to be a thought when the GOP is in power and chopping the US tax income by cutting taxes for those who need it least.

    Oh, so that's how to understand inflation and recession, too? What ever happened to the concept of balanced budget?

    Must be our politicians are good at kick-backs, switching around financial pipelines, and allowing collusion as in our famous Military-Industrial-Complex. Demos need something to explain all the military missions, arms, and Invasion-Occupation-Regime
    Changes going on. Thousands of defense contracts and cost-overruns at the Pentagon that increase debt.

    Must be our news media know without telling. Good thing they are on the side of "saving the world for democracy" by military action and our modern version of Manifest Destiny that now includes sanctuary for illegal aliens who will vote Democratic Party.

    You have all the GOP talking points down flat. Too bad they make no sense.

    Doesn't matter, because it's all in the cards and will play out with no sense necessary. Both Repos and Demos will keep their jobs, just smooth it all with the help of the news media, those smiling talking heads.
