Makes as much sense as someone in Michigan claiming their confederate flag on their porch is about "southern heritage" and not slavery

But carry on ..

Joe Rogan slams China-funded Biden think tank where classified documents were found

So the Chinese might be funding a think tank that has classified documents?" Rogan said. "$54 million in Chinese gifts donated to UPenn, home of the Biden Center. What the f---, man? $54 million in gifts. This is just like, you know, yo-yos, and s---. Xboxes, beer koozies. What the f--- are they giving them?"


I’ll take Rogan over some has been. 54 million by China donors to a think tank? Why folks?

2022 spending:

399 Billion on debt interest spending. Not on paying down the debt, just the interest on the debt.

That's fucking disgusting!!

"In late May, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that annual net interest costs would total $399 billion in 2022..."

But what do you do?

We have to raise the debt limit. This isnt about new spending under President Biden but paying off our credit card debt for purchases we already made.

We cant default ... in this economic climate it might be a disaster. Maybe we could, let the S&P take a huge hit then rich people can swoop in with cash in hand and get richer.

Solution - balance budget going forward? Everything neutral and stop with the "political math" that this bill will pay for itself when the GDP reaches 9.8%

Yeah, my post was not meant to be about just the Joe Biden administration or saying no to raising the debt ceiling. That would just be all for show, not to actually accomplish anything. This debt has been mounting for a very long time. But we just keep piling on to it. Defaulting is definitely not the solution either. It's absolutely immoral what our "leaders" have done to this country. Both sides.

Balancing the budget should be the start. Not passing bills with tons of extra shit in it should be on the list. Freezing spending increases should be on the list. Cutting spending across the board x% would be a good idea. If everyone had to cut the same amount, no one should be able to complain. And there is no way every government dept. can't find some bloat to chop off. Any budget surplus goes to paying off the debt, it does not get recycled to get spent somewhere else.

There are lots of things that could be done, but instead they just keep spending more than we bring in every year. They just pretend like the money is fake and the debt is imaginary. While us peasants keep getting screwed. It's just not right.

The Dems decided to give an AZ Senate seat to the GOP. I guess it sends the message that trying Sinema's move won't be tolerated and they are willing to give up the seat to prevent setting a precedent.

Apparently the list of presidents and VPs that don't have classified documents outside of where they should be is a lot smaller than ones that do.

The ones that the Archives needed to get a warrant for is even smaller.
