Most of us understand the economic consequences of living beyond our means. Except for President Joe Biden and the federal government, that is.

If you or I decided to go wild with our credit cards and didn’t pay off those balances regularly, we would see what we owe expand rapidly as high interest rates make the debt increasingly hard to manage.

There’s a price to pay for unwise financial decisions. Most of us understand the economic consequences of living beyond our means.

Except for President Joe Biden and the federal government, that is.

The national debt is already at $34 trillion and is quickly hurtling toward $35 trillion (it was roughly $27 trillion when Biden took office).

You may not care, but you should.

The incompetent government made of career politicians is like a spoiled child going off to college and running up $100k in credit card debt. What should be done is cut off the incompetence and keep the money in the hands of those who know how to generate wealth. Not generate debt.

It’s time to defund the entire government. The only thing they should provide is a national security apparatus 1/10th the size they are now. Borders. And minimal education standards.

Gino Felino time.

You advocate for quack doctors. No libraries. No post office. No parks. No hospitals. No scientific research. No consumer protection. No road repairs. No public transportation. No police. No firefighters. No courts. No infrastructure. No airports.

[–] JoWilli (15917) 17 days ago

these are all the things that Dictator Joe wants to control. he wants the Fed gov to be in charge of all these things. which is a Dictatorship.

[–] Keelai (32305) 15 days ago

Those are all Federal institutions paid by taxpayers.

Minimal education = quack doctors and no medical licenses

[–] B1cKsurN (15208) 17 days ago

I don't think they are incompetent. I think they know exactly what they are doing. They are evil.

[–] tvfan (9192) 17 days ago

They sold us out to the big bankers so their priority is money. 98% of them are corrupt or compromised.

The entire establishment needs to be replaced.

[–] Filmtenk2 (3436) 18 days ago

This has been a slow moving train coming right at us for decades. It's like paying for new paint on a sinking ship. I should add a car metaphor & a plane metaphor too.

Putting a new fully loaded 8-track cassette deck in a rusted out ‘59 Volkswagen.

I like it!

I only learned about this a few years ago...

From 1956 to 1959, Chrysler included the Highway Hi-Fi, a factory-installed record player, as an option for Chryslers, Plymouths, Dodges and DeSotos. From 1960 to 1961, RCA produced the Victrola vehicle record player (not to be confused with the RCA Victrola record label.)

I don't remember the movie where I saw this, it might have been "Sabrina" with Humphrey Bogart...

Everything horrible that they said would happen under Orange Man, has actually happened under Pedo Man.

[–] JoWilli (15917) 15 days ago

pretty much, america was a much better place when Trump was President.

[–] tvfan (9192) 15 days ago

I miss those days, lol.

[–] robocat893 (13970) 15 days ago

If you are so miserable because ex-president Trump lost spectacularly in 2020 then improve your life. Get a new higher paying job as unemployment is the lowest in decades. Sign up for food stamps, cash and sections 8 all available to help you.

[–] tvfan (9192) 15 days ago

Not everyone relies on government handouts; besides, some of us are debt-free.

[–] robocat893 (13970) 15 days ago

I do. Because I'm a US Army veteran who fought in Desert Storm and with my disability I receive lots of free stuff like health care items. Does that bother you?

[–] robocat893 (13970) 15 days ago

So what? Trump is sitting in court right now being tried for 34 felonies with 3 more trials coming up. He will never be president again. Maybe you barking seals should've supported a better candidate who could have beaten Biden.

[–] tvfan (9192) 15 days ago

But Biden didn't win, he was selected, so it doesn't matter if it was a different candidate, it would still have been Biden or a Deep State owned Republican.

Trump could not be bought, owned or compromised and that's why they are persecuting him with bullshit charges.

I can't believe that you and other believe sthe 2020 election was rigged because no one has provided any proof that the 2020 election was stolen.

[–] chilidoggg (13278) 13 days ago

"Trump could not be bought"

Is this why he's hawking Bibles for $60?

[–] tvfan (9192) 13 days ago

For buying "Bibles", not buying "Him" off, lol.

[–] JoWilli (15917) 13 days ago

the biden barking seals dont seem to care about america failing and turning into a 3rd world country.

[–] tvfan (9192) 13 days ago

They are too brainwashed to realize it.

[–] chilidoggg (13278) 15 days ago

Social Security was a Ponzi scheme from Day 1. This is news to you?

[–] JoWilli (15917) 13 days ago

I have known this for years. no one cares. our gov also gives away trillions.

You got so excited you copied the whole damn thing off the website and then bukkake'd yourself.

[–] JoWilli (15917) 13 days ago

[–] chilidoggg (13278) 13 days ago

The rest of your clan here isn't thrilled by it.

Maybe Trump needs a new rollout for the Platinum Plan For Black Americans

Exhibit "B."

Increase the number of Black owned contracting businesses, financial
services entities, and private equity investment funds through regulatory
reform and up to $40B in government funding

[–] tvfan (9192) 13 days ago

Well put.

[–] chilidoggg (13278) 13 days ago

None of what you posted refutes the point that Trump's "American Academy" and his "Platinum Plan For Black Americans" would entail "a (large) price to pay for unwise financial decisions"

Even Trump acknowledges as much by not including the Platinum Plan For Black Americans in his Agenda47.

[–] tvfan (9192) 13 days ago

Is that another claim based on your lack of reading/interpreting things properly like you did with the border policy?

I already stated that the Agenda47 doesn't go into details.
You're expecting a complete breakdown which are usually included in EOs, Bills and Articles.

[–] chilidoggg (13278) 13 days ago

I'm not quibbling over lack of details - that Platinum Plan For Black Americans is nonexistent in Agenda47.

Also nonexistent in Agenda47: Trump's "American Dream Plan For Hispanic Americans"

Exhibit "C"

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/trump-campaign-press-release-president-trump-releases-the-american-dream-plan-for-hispanic

Did anyone (besides me) ever ask why African Americans would be getting 3 million new jobs, but Hispanic Americans would be getting only 2 million new jobs?

[–] tvfan (9192) 13 days ago

Agenda57 is not an exhaustive list.

Did anyone (besides me) ever ask why African Americans would be getting 3 million new jobs, but Hispanic Americans would be getting only 2 million new jobs?

I didn't read the article but the first reason that came to mind is that the unemployment rate for blacks is higher than for Hispanics.
