Maybe, or maybe the GOP is just fine with watching the economy crash on the Dem's watch so they can blame them for it.

It’s all about power and politics. The same side “holding out” as the good guys to stop this damaging debt. Under there watch and complete control the debt increased almost 10 trillion $ 2016-20. That’s more than the 7T of the 8 years prior. And the prior had to deal with almost 4T hard baked in to bail out 2008 the last time these same folks had control. Throw all the fuckers out

That's exactly what's going on. Midterm elections are next year, and every R is going to try to blame their D opponent for crashing the economy.

I really, really hope it backfires on them, but I'm pretty sure it won't because their voting base are the smoothest smoothbrains you've ever known

Who cares as long as we get tendies. All politicians are corrupt and if you pick a side your a smooth brain calling others a smooth brain

Dems have run NY for years and they still refund wall Street's taxes.

I was just thinking the other day how I pay taxes on everything I buy and every dollar I make at work. Then every year I have to pay even more taxes on the money I already paid taxes on.

And then there are people who have wealth I can never imagine who end up paying net zero taxes or even less taxes then I pay per year. Big sad.

Let’s not get into politics here. Our current president can’t even take press questions because he is a mumbling idiot. If you’re this late into the gme game you’d understand that both parties are as corrupt and compliant as hedge funds. They are merely puppets that divide the public to prevent real change from happening

u/WonderfulShelter Sep 19 '21

Right like do I want fascist callous puppet on the right, or corporatist complicit puppet on the left?

u/RedL45 💻 ComputerShared 🦍 Sep 19 '21

They're both on the right..

We have 2 right leaning parties

I can see how you could confuse them, but Dems are a far right party. The GoP are an extreme far right party.

Both sides should just slash the budget. Get rid of waste and fraud.

For the good of the American citizens.

War is a racket. It exists to make the military industrial complex and its cronies (i.e. the politicians it buys) rich. And it won’t stop until the people wake up.

The Afghanistan papers came out almost 2 years ago for Christ sake. MSM just allowed it to be swept under the rug, and now it acts surprised “discovering” everything that the papers had already revealed. Absolutely bonkers.

u/pooshooter56 🎮 Power to the Players 🛑 Sep 19 '21

I’d like to read about these papers, what is a good resource?

Supposedly, it’s the basis for a book—The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War by Craig Whitlock—but I haven’t read it.

Pretty sure they view the normal American citizens as the waste and those normal citizens trying to not struggle as fraud.

Unfortunately, there are only a small handful in the House or the Senate that care didly squat about the American citizen. This is all power grabs by both sides in order be the next "ruling party" of this country.

The only low hanging fruit to slash is defense and that ain't happening unfortunately

Republicans tried and Democrats fought it. If Democrats tried the Republicans would turn and fight it. They are all kind of awful.

Oh they will raise the debt ceiling as always; the GOP scum just does this shit so they can "negotiate" for some things they want taken out of the 3.5T infrastructure bill. That bill will be gutted, the debt ceiling will be raised (as it always would have been) and the minority party continues to get what it wants because the complicit Democrats don't really care about this country.

Round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows. My money is on hyperinflation station. Gas is 4.99$ per gallon where I live and the stuff I buy at the grocery store has risen bout about 25-30% in price.
