    And with them being potentially already in a recession hidden by the AI bubble… If shit hits the fan, its gonna be a fun ride. Can’t really increase spending to stimulate the economy if you’re already slinging cash to the wealthy.

    Such fiscal responsibility from the GOP. They can’t govern for shit but they sure can spend our money.

    1/3 is owned my other nations, 1/3 from money taken internal investments like social security, and 1/3 the American people in the form of bounds. Trump and conservatives want to default on the first two debts. That’s been their goal since FDR.
