    Every dollar we cut is a dollar that doesn’t go to increase the debt, and we have a long, long way to go.

      Absolutely.

        MMT never made it out of a third tier economics program in New England.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          It’s a little easier to point to the GOP’s deliberate decision to take us off our debt reduction glide path 24 years ago with forever wars and tax cuts.

            Well, sure seems like we've been printing money out of thin air to satisfy debt.

                    Let's not leave out the small, insignificant fact that the United States was the only major economy left unscathed by WW2.

                          When Bill and Newt put the country on a debt reduction glide path in the 90s, the debt totalled ~5.5T.

                          The GOP, likely without a single democratic vote, will add ~4T in the coming 24-30 months.

                          DOGE is part side show, part ideological purge.

                          Watch what they do not what they say.

                              @Axtremus If the culture shifts, it could easily affect the decisions of private companies. As we saw with the anti-profitable DEI employees that sprung up everywhere.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                I will give President Trump credit IF he continues this path, even when public "sentiment" turns against him on this.

                                Rare for a president to take a long term view on a subject.

                                  In this case, the wife overstayed her original visa.

                                      No surprise that farmers are hurting. I posted this pic previously, but maybe worth repeating.

                                      When you are soybean farmer, and pretty much 50% of your market dries up, that is a problem.
