Spending is bad when it threatens to flatten hierarchies, just like every measure they oppose one minute then enthusiastically champion the next.

People have no idea what the national debt is…it is merely the $ invested into our country which has yet to be taxed out. The Fed govt is not a household. We REQUIRE deficit spending.#MMT

And that is after laying off many Federal employees, often leaving no one competent to run the organization.

If it weren’t for hypocrisy, the gop would have nothing.

Why pay a trillion dollars per year on services for your citizens when you can give it to other countries in interest payments? Oh, wait...

To be fair, the price of gas in the United States is kept artificially low because of its military control of the rest of the world. Everybody wants to see the empire end. Nobody wants it to see it end today.

Up 14.3% in one year - Wow! thats real tight control - Kudos!

Perhaps if they hadn’t have taken a look it would have gone the other way.

Looking costs nothing. Looking does nothing.

He said they'd take a hard look which they probably did. He didn't say they were going to do anything to bring it down.

Can he vote from 'home'?

Here's a start. Cut the pentagon by 2/3s and rescind the tax cut for the wealthy.

The deficit has continued to rise—think about it. Thousands of employees fired by Musk, billions in aid cut, Medicare cut, food stamps cut, tariffs—so much additional money flowed into slush funds and was then diverted into tax cuts, yet the deficit keeps growing. Where is all that money?

Getting ready for d ms to take over. So everything can be a NO!

Trump has buried us. We'll never recover.

Don't worry, when the Dems ultimately take back the White House Republicans will become "fiscally conservative" again!

Heck of a job, brownie.

We (anti-Trump voters) tried to warn them, over and over. Unfortunately, we're at a point where if we don't keep pointing out just how terrible this all actually is, they'll go on thinking it's all normal. A lot of them will do it anyway, but we've got to try.

The subject must have been: How can we make us and our billionaire friends a ton of money off the taxpayers.

I've got an idea. Why don't we take the Bill Clinton budget (and tax rates) when we had a balanced budget, adjust it for inflation and population growth, and use that as the basis for our next budget? And adjust the minimum wage for inflation while you're at it.

They took a look and decided stealing is more advantageous to their own interests than actually supporting their constituents

#LootingAmerica continues like the last administration #HeritageNetwork #GOPScum 2016 to 2020 Trump added $8.8 trillion Biden-Harris reduced $1.8 trillion National Debt www.crfb.org/papers/trump...

Because the last time this fool was president the Republicans added 8trillion to the debt…..has even been in office 2 years and the added $8trillion plus… National debt and counting,Republicans added $8 Trillion since the takeover of the White House again www.pgpf.org/national-deb...

It’s the waste, fraud, and abuse that we’ve heard so much about 🙄

This administration is proof that cutting spending and entitlements do nothing to reduce the amount of the deficit, revealing it's a totally bogus argument.

Ya! They looked at it and took it from taxpayers!

.....& now, we're suffering. Y'ALL need to go!

The Republicans will be alarmed by the deficit once another Democratic politician is in the Oval Office. In the meantime, it’s all performative.

There’s a campaign ad.

He didn't say they were going to solve anything. He just said slow it down. Which; obviously; meant expedite the deficit growth and bankrupt this country. Duh idiot.

Wait for the national debt to skyrocket after he replaces all the weapons he wasted!

How much of the money they were looking at found it's way into Trumps pocket?

Unfortunately they are taking a harder look at insider trading

I thought we all had to give DOGE a giant wet kiss because it was there to create efficiencies and cut waste 🫠

We don’t have a spending problem (ok, maybe a military spending problem). What we do have is a revenue problem.

If anyone can grift a whole trillion out of the US economy it is this president supported by Congress and SC.

🤪😡

No kidding To fund the debt Foreign countries by US treasury securities If they dumped all the securities they own at the same time American economy would be destroyed So Debt is vey important

Murphy is a total sham

Oh they looked real hard….for ways they could steal that money for themselves.

Damn Biden. 🙃

What else did you expect when you elect a con artist who’s been bankrupt six times. Did you think that we weren’t gonna get robbed? He had his whole last term to figure out how to fuck us. He’s doing that right now. How’s it feel? I don’t think enough people are pissed off enough.

Look again you jackass 😑

The debt Is that much. Not the deficit.

It’s actually climate change… But no one cares about running out of water while all our houses burn down apparently. It’s about the money!

They're trying to figure out how to eviscerate Social Security and Medicare and avoid accountability for their destruction. Not an easy thing. It takes time.

Heeellooow, we are already suffering.

"Spending" and "theft" are not the same.

The topic was “How can we spend as much taxpayer money as possible to enrich ourselves and our wealthy friends ?”

Liars gonna lie...all day long!

lol … the only time a #Conservative politician cares about the national debt is when the other guy’s are in power & they’ll say ANYTHING to get you to believe they’re the only fiscally responsible choice but the moment you elect them they forget their promise & start spending like DRUNKEN SAILORS! 🤓

This just falls under the same category as "making a strong statement" from both sides of the aisle.

That's okay Taco is already responsible for 27% of it. His responsibility is growing faster than any president in history. He's doing nothing to make it better. In fact he's doing everything he can to make it worse.

That's precisely why they went after spending and use that to justify the tax cuts. However, without tax revenue it doesn't matter how much spending you cut. That's the part they didn't tell. When Reagan said the same thing, then doubled the debt!! But those corporate and wealthy tax cuts.

Over 28% of the 41 trillion dollars debt was created during under 6 years of the Rump administration.

How long can this continue?

trumpstein sabotage usa for putin agenda

Who needs more proof that this country is run by a ship if fools?

Start seizing the assets of the oligarchs buying tbe government for personal gain.

The GOP never cared about fiscal responsibility. It always was just a good slogan to reject tax hikes of the rich and not having social welfare.

I imagine it *is* hard to look at.

They took a hard look and said "how much can I take for myself?"

the felon is spending wildly on non-sense. He will drive up the debt until he is no longer prez trashing the economy all the way, then the GQP will blame the dems for running up the debt. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Biden! Barrack Hussein Obama! Woke! Trans! Illegals! Communists! Pick 1 or more to decide who is to blame.

Good job

Make musk and the trump orbit give back all their ill gotten gains

Are you kidding? Trump will be dead soon and doesn't care if he bankrupts the country with his gold-laden vanity projects.

The party of ‘fiscal responsibility’! 🙄 🤔 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bullshit. You keep giving massive tax breaks to the top 10% and corporations and then cut essential services for everyone else. You jack up the military budget to $1.5 trillion and waste tens of billions on a war no one wanted and one you can't win. Fuck you, fuck Trump and fuck your whole cult.

#30million8/30 SPINELESS RESISTANCE MOVEMENT COLLAPSES UNDER WEIGHT OF FASCISM! RISE UP! OVERTHROW! END FASCISM IN AMERICA!

So that is why the orange blob is replacing all the grass in DC. Is spending 22 billion to remodel Dulles airport because his ugly-ass name is going to be on it. the 400 billion to update his ugly free plane, the helipad, the gold guild on the statues, so how are we taking a hard look at spending?

Well, The said they’d LOOK at that deficit, didn’t they? Did they also say to DO something about it? Unlikely. In PR you almost NEVER say where it’s at or what you’re gonna do. It’s called The Art of Persuasion (with hollow rhetorics). It’s a ‘science’! fcol

all they do is pretend

seeing how fast they can get it to $50 t

We need to ask more questions - are you looking to trim it or GROW it?

Why can't fools like Murphy see that his party has no interested in reducing spending. He needs a new party.

He said they were going to take a “hard look” at the country’s spending Looking hard at it and doing something about it are vastly different

Have no fear, they'll swing into action the minute a Democrat is in a position to blame for any and all spending. The debt will become center stage immediately!

All because the Felon thinks he is an architect and an interior designer. Remember you can't feed your families every time you pass the gold plated horses.

Remember how the GoP pretended they were the part of fiscal responsibility? They stopped pretending.

They took a “hard look”, had a good laugh and moved on.

Blue Wave about to roll over the nazi's, and all of a sudden they're concerned about the budget......see Blue Wave...

Don’t worry. The Dems will be in office soon to fix all the shit you break every damned time Rs are in office you gloated bat turd!

Taking a hard look but not lifting a finger.

It was just to see if America can take more of a pounding yet or if they have to wait for something to heal first. Evidently sloppy seconds were agreed upon.

Maybe we should stop painting horse statues in gold and bribing companies with American’s tax dollars to give up leases for renewable energy projects!

Great bullshit artist 🐃💩🐃💩🐃💩💩🐃💩🐃💩

Republicans Have Ruined America

So you admit Republicans are purposely creating another Depression.
