This does not end well. A shrinking economy and population combined with shutting down immigration will only exacerbate this. The FED will have to QE to service the ever increasing debt which will result in high inflation. TFG really dumped jet fuel on the problem.

I agree Adam!!! 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸

Trump robbing our treasury like the thief that he is.

I’m sure things will get better next year when Medicaid is defunded.

They always increase the debt! Not new, just way worse than usual.

Trump has got to go.

The biggest lie of my lifetime is conservatives/Republicans saying they are fiscally conservative, pro-life and small government.

Aren't we glad he's mad about Bad Bunny tho

So, right on track then. 😒

"fiscal conservative" was always marketing. You had to have known that.

Don’t worry, silly rabbit! Once the Dems regain power, the GOP will once again become deficit hawks and demand slashing all but defence spending! We’ve all seen this movie before.

There has been less deficit spending under Democrats going back to 1960

Wake-up "true" Conservatives! This is not the 1st time this has happened and the reason is because Conservative economic policies have NEVER worked.

The goal of our H-tler is to destroy our country and we are helping him do it

👍🤬

It’s been clear to much of the world for a long time: 'Republican' is just another word for 'oligarch.' Hopefully, it’s now also becoming clear to most Americans: The GOP’s only goal is a plutocracy, and the American people have, in large part, granted them their wish. Insanity in action.

If you haven't read "The Sum of Us" by Heather McGhee, you should! She explains everything.

Conservation: Borrow (from your cronies) and spend (on your cronies)

They have run amok with the budget bill and then Trump is going beyond the budget with his insanity. Sinking revenue with sinking economy. Money diverted by corruption.Expensive adventures. The rockets he’s shooting at everyone cost money. He wants a $1 Trillion military budget.

100% correct! Fuck the "Republicans!"

And then Democrats won't be able to fix it on day one and Republicans will run on it. Rinse and Repeat.

Who says we’re not close to WWIII?

"fiscal conservative" = against anything that provides assistance to those who really need it. the_end.

You'd never guess what else is approaching WW2 levels...

And what was in the treasury is now in some overseas account thanks to some grifter

Trump the chump, being financially stupid is stupid.

If our economy crashes (and I assume the rest of the world will crash with ours), is there any way we can start from zero and let all these big businesses to fail? How can we avoid corporate welfare in a future crash?

it's about looting the treasury...not thin skin

Which is why Trump needs a Fed Chair who will do his bidding.

GOP never been responsible for yrs when it comes to being loyalist to big money donors this includes some democratic members ! The first party that does what the majority of what the people want done to improve their lives, kitchen table issues will control for yrs !

G0P is bad for USA, but don’t forget our friends in MN! bsky.app/profile/thet...

Well, they're running it like a business now and looking at EBITDA. Almost like they're trying to sell us to private equity instead of being sustainable.

Yeah, Adam, the fiscally responsible and morally upright party, the republicans. Imagine, you were a member.

The only way out of it is to rewrite the tax codes back to pre Regan era.

The GOP complaints about the debt and deficits have always been performative. I remember Reagan vs Carter in'80 when Reagan was hammering Carter about it. Yet, Reagan cut taxes and increased spending increasing the debt and deficits. The GOP has used that playbook ever since.#GOPHYPOCRISY

They never were. As we all know in the lat 50 years it was a Democratic administration that not only balanced the budget, but set us on a path to be debt free by 2012. We all know who ended this streak that went on for 4 years.

I remember Republicans were crying stating how democrats were strapping their grandkids with this debt…today’s motto fuck’em.

Thats what fiscal conservative is

The party of criminals, trust fund babies, and pedophiles. And lots of overlap in those groups!

Privatize and deregulate, blow up the economy, socialize the losses. This is what Republicans do. Always.

Agreed and this felon is trying to steal $10,000,000,000 from the US taxpayers

Agreed, please run for President as a R or I.

Didn't they just vote on increasing defense spending to $1.5 Trillion or was that just what Trump was asking for last month?

But you knew this going in. If you didn't know you're wildly unqualified to be a politician. Because high schoolers learn that every single GOP administration does this, and every single time it gets worse and worse. Next you'll be wondering why they're so racist

Worth asking again "if they wanted to ruin the USA, what would they do different?"

💯 There us NOTHING that is CONSERVATIVE about the Trump Republican party today.

Interest, DoD, Social Sec, Medicaid, Medicare, everything else. Pick any 4 of those six and we can't afford it. It is impossible to cut to a balanced budget. The only solution is more revenue, and billionaires are the only place to find it.

Reagan, Bush, Trump tax cuts

No worries. Republicans will decry the debt as soon as a Democrat gets into office and dares to suggest a social program to help the plebs.

It takes 2 to Tango. Dems should be aggressively slamming the GOP instead of silence! And when the GOP blame them, Dems should reply with Go Fuck Yourselves!

Did you not realize when you were serving along side them that their fiscal conservatism only kicked in when voting on programs that actually helped people?

The fact that they had the balls to even mention the national debt last election is infuriating.

But you notice all those GOPers who go on about the deficit and 'fiscal responsibility' when dealing with a Democratic president are strangely silent about it now.

Here in Spain, the memory of being in the "PIGS" club remains. That was what happened during the post 2008 debt crisis, when the rate on Spanish bonds went up. Not a good thing for the person on the street, when the government has to pay off interest, and can't afford anything else.

Republicans platform,we will raise taxes…. On the working class.

That’s what I’ve been saying since Regan took office! Thanks Adam…

Neither side is serious about the debt. Being serious means making tough choices. BBB was a bunch of give aways. The tax cuts are a gimmick with no real economic benefit.

Wait till its creditors start calling in the US debt.

It's the algebraic sum that matters to billionaires. Saving taxes, getting undue refunds, and, of course, subsidies for their failing companies. But for low-level MAGAs, cutting taxes is the first step to denying basic human rights. No healthcare and the like. They drool over it.

Furthermore, if trump keeps pissing off our allies, they will call in their loans AND sell US treasuries, at which point the US deficit will skyrocket.

You voted with Trump 93% of the time including his massive tax breaks that added 8 trillion to the National Debt during his first term. Fuck you and pearl clutching!!!

Problem is though, you’re paying the interest to foreign countries this time. Not to rich people inside your own country.

It’s always been deficit bullshit with Repugs. They take a crap and then blame the other guys. Always.

Louder!

My opinion is that if taxpayers continue paying for TRump and his entourage of cabinet members and secret service agents to fly and lodge every to his Florida golf resort, we will reach the highest deficit in U.S. history.

The U.S. National Debt just hit a massive milestone: $38.56 Trillion. To put that in perspective, we are adding an average of $6.4 billion every single day.

Yeah and they’ll dump it on dems when they win (like they always do). Then dems will fix and then GOP is back in charge. Go figure.

No wonder maga wants war

This has been true since your hero Reagan, Adam. Democrats have been the party of fiscal responsibility for the last half century. Glad you're starting to figure it out.

He bankrupted casinos, and not in a cool way. Trump is a terrible businessman who can only make money by not paying his bills and taking bribes.

The heartless Super-Rich are happy 'to empty the money-pot' in their favor. They don't care about YOU. Why should you care about THEM? DEMAND WEALTH TAXES NOW!! (That new money would bring HUGE BENEFITS to everyone.)

Republicans lie all the time - call it out every single time

The GOP solution will be to inflate away the national debt. That means inflation, making the debt less valuable. Inflation will get far worse, not better. A form of sneaky taxation.

Big Beautiful Depression loading…

Conservative my ass! 🙄

100 %

This is the reason for attacking Venezuela and attempted Greenland and Canada...and shortly Iran...It is the policy of why make it? just take it

youtube.com/live/iJKeMyQ...

Nothing new. I learnt that in school 50 years ago . US is doomed when we stop buying their debt.

The GOP has never been fiscally conservative. They just cut taxes without ever actually cutting spending.

The GOP is no longer the party of small government and fiscal responsibility. Seems that there is plenty of space for centrists with a plan to reduce the national debt and serve the greatest needs of the people. Govt serves the people - not themselves.

Thank you!

That $4b Trump profited off the presidency last year might help with that. Seize every penny.

As of yet, theres nothing about the rest of Congress. How many are tied to the companies that have contracts with ICE? readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

Impeach his ass

It’s mind boggling. It’s stupid and lazy.

Fiscal responsibility was a lie. DOGE was a lie.

Welcome to the Wall Street Welfare State. Low taxes with high deficits.

Can you feel it!? Great snip of this administration's success with bringing the golden age [gold shower] in the economy. youtu.be/3mQRtiajk9o?...

Fiscally irresponsible #GOP Congress ALWAYS spends money like a drunken sailor. I’m 68 years old. All my life, the Republicans ran the deficit into the ground. Stole Social Security money for Trident subs & missiles. Never paid back Social Security. And trying to steal more! Conservative they aren’t

FAFO

No, because 90% of $0 is still $0! Get rid of the right offs and tax credits so that 37% is actually paid. Tax code needs to be changed.

Kinzinger, you're smart enough to know better. The "Billionaire Bailout Bill" was just the catalyst. And fiscal conservative just means you don't think minorities or the poor are worthy of "your" money.

This is why Trump is forcing the fed to lower rates vs paying off the debt

Kaboom soon By by economy

When was the last time republicans were fiscally responsible? I literally can't remember. It's always up to Democrats to clean up the mess republican administrations leave.

With the CATO Institute report revealing how much immigrants (including undocumented) contribute to the economy with the huge budget given to ICE, it’s only going to get worse. It’s like they’re trying to crash the economy

The Republicans have never been about fiscal conservatism. That’s just a line they feed the hard working farmers and ranchers in America to get their votes.

Tax the rich just like we did post WWII.

Al Gore was correct (and wrongly maligned) for suggesting a Social Security lockbox. They will cut seniors' benefits so fast.

That's a "Conservitive"estimate no doubt.

GOP has never, in actuality, been fiscally conservative. It’s always been a joke.

And it sure looks like they really don’t care. Anything to keep the racist rapist in the White House happy. We are pretty much sunk.

It’s about time for a Democrat administration to step in and fix it so that the republicans to screw it all up when they get reelected in 2 cycles.

Dont worry when dems win it will be a huge issue again

I find it crazy that people still consistently think that the GOP is better for the economy. In recent history a republican government is the biggest recession indicator.

And the rest of the world owns US. And they can dump US. Actually in reality that's precisely what might need to happen. The higher they build the harder they fall. People>CEOs.

Guess they better start taxing the ultra rich, that could fix the problem is a huge hurry.

The Elephant is too much of a majestic animal to be the symbol of the Republican Party. I therefore suggest the GOP symbol should from this point forward be the Cockroach!! ‼️New GOP Symbol ‼️

GOP in congress does what Trump’s administration dictates. They don’t question goals or motives behind policy, and they ignore their impact (which is easier to do now that they get rid of agencies tracking impacts).

40 trillion in debt is the fault of both parties. Don’t kid yourself.

They’ll make sure to time it perfectly so they can blame someone else like they AWLAYS do.

Trump destroys everything

Killing our country in every way.

Republicans killing the country, but hey the billionaires are turning into trillionaires, why should they give a shit.

Can we skip the war part and jump straight to the postwar economic boom?

Time to resume post-WW2 top tax rates?

Wonder how it affects the states? Check out Idaho.

Defund the federal government and transfer power to the states. The system is broken and needs a reset.
