In context, the US govt has a shittier credit score than anyone.

More economic sabotage. They must not have confidence that they'll be in charge when the bill starts coming due.
So anybody down for a 4th of July BBQ? I hear your nearest Republican is hosting.
This reckless spending is intentional, likely promoted by Thiel. He wants to kill the United States, so that he and his fellow ghouls can feast upon the rotting remains.
The party of fiscal reaponsibility, everyone!
And I don't know how people keep eating this up.
The people who do are fucking idiots, that's how.
Silly child.
Fiscal responsibility only matters when a democrat is in office.
Meanwhile NASA's budget is an issue for some reason.
There's a danger that it might be useful to people who aren't rich.
They need to stop whining and pull themselves up by the bootstraps, okay!!? Maybe less cappuccino? 😤
I would also like to borrow all $72 billion, if we're doing requests now.
No problem! Just seize control of the government.
If Trump can do it...
He seized control of a 50-year old political machine designed to overthrow the republic, taking advantage of the alternate reality they crafted for their segments of the population.
We have nothing comparable in the opposition as of yet. The democrats, are controlled opposition They are not trying to defeat the Republicans' attempts to overthrow democracy such as it is.
We could win but we will not because we still trust the Democrats to run the opposition. Not me obviously.
Only if you're not gonna use it to do socialisms 👍
I know you are joking, but what they use a lot of our borrowed future tax dollars for is in effect corporate socialism. Socialized losses, privatized gains.
Us workers are bag holders.
"Public losses, private gains" would be more correct.
But what a bag it is!! And made in the US of A!!!! Frack yeah!
Unfortunately the bag is made in China. Let's hope it's defective like everything else built over there by Wall Street that has pimped out or rather Enslaved the Chinese Workforce with the ascent of the supposed Communists with Chinese characteristics that force their Factory workers to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Yes I know they officially outlawed that but they still forced them to work it and just pay them less. China is a capitalistic fucking hellscape don't let anybody tell you otherwise. But I digress.
Can I do an ocialismsay?
Is that a perv thing??
do you want it to be ༼ ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ༽
Maybe?
i mean isn't everything a lil bit a perv thing if we're honest?
Only if you want it to be 🙊
okay. if we're getting kinky, send me a photo of your roomba's bottom
blush
Sen... Sensei?
i can't tell you how to work the kinks out of your roomba if you don't send me a photo of its bottom i can't stress this enough this is purely professional
🤔
😂
Thank you for playing along you've been a great sport. I really needed this today too.
Aaaw :(
My pleasure :)

Blackjack and hookers, pinky swear!
Cool!!
Party of fiscal responsibility, my ass!!
Party of fiscal responsibility only cares about the asses of underage girls.
The Epstein class likes ass, and have arranged ours to be over a barrel.
Don't forget without consent! It's not Epstein Class if we/they consent!
Yeah, but it's not being spent on actually helping America and move things forward; it's funding PEDOnald's jackbooted thug army and aggrandizing the shart of the deal guy.
Therefore, in summation, and QED, it's "fiscally responsible".
That's always been the thing for Republicans. They don't want to take on debt to help people, but if it's for the military or giving it to big businesses, that talking point suddenly doesn't appear.
ICE?? Found another one!! Right here guys!!!!

I mean yeah, the USA is insolvent already.
Of course any additional spending would need to be on credit.
Unless I'm somehow misreading that part of the headline
It's more so that whenever anything is made to help Americans, Republicans demand for a plan to pay for it. This shit though? Not needed, for some reason.
"borrow"
Fuck ICE & the pedophile dick-tater
ah yes, "fiscal responsibility"
Because nothing matters, and what if it did.
He’s not good for it - and when someone’s not trustworthy they have to put up collateral
Put up or shut all the fuck the way up
I call his spleen
Always wanted a spleen
