You forgot to mention the additional impetus the Republicans, especially the billionaire, banker, and connected global, classes have in increasing the debt.

WHO FINANCES THIS $4 TRILLION IN NEW DEBT, and earns interest on those loans? Those same effing billionaires, bankers, and connected global investors from Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, and elsewhere who own the current $35 trillion in debt. THEY will collect interest every year to the tune of 8% to 10% of the $320 billion (the 8% of the budget).

That means that those corrupt crooks on the right will collect $32 billion every year for the duration of this budget -- unless Democrats

A) win the elections of 2026;

B) win the presidency and trifecta in 2028;

C) repudiate the entire budgetary philosophy of the right wing by re-instituting 50%, 75% and 90% marginal tax rates, as well as cutting the interest rate the nation will pay to 1% per annum, with all the debt held by the people -- so that interest payments will go into the treasury instead of Elon's and Peter Thiel's pockets.

Boy. This really nails it. They now have the gift that will keep on giving to limit the money that's available for programs that support the people. Despicable--and I'm sure right on plan for Vought.

I'll always wonder why, when asked for a favorite Bible verse, Frumpy Stumpy Lumpy Dumpy Grumpy Trumpy could not even come up with The Golden Rule.

And apparently, not one of these "Christian" cultists of his even noticed. (Or cared...)

FeministAnger,

I suspect you have more belief in a higher power than GAWD-DADDY and most of his cultists do.

Seeing as how HATE isn't all that much higher than shit, and hate seems to sum up their superpower.

AND they want Americans DEAD so they do NOT have to spend any money on them!!! That is why they turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to anyone saying do not do this!!! They WANT PEOPLE DEAD so they can shrink any obligation......NO PEOPLE = NO PAYMENTS TO MAKE. Plus - OVERWHELM the system FINANCIALLY so it CANNOT function and there you go - IT COLLAPSES and then it is GONE!!!! That is what they want to do to - Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security - DROWNED IT IN DEBT AND DRIVE IT OUT OF EXISTENCE!!! Russell Vought and Project 2025 are coming for everyone in America that is not them. So Americans have a choice to make: Russell Vought and the Goons and Thugs of Project 2025 OR the rest of us!!!!!!!! Russel Vought and ALL the Goons and Thugs behind Project 2025 MUST be dealt with and gotten rid of for good!!!!!!!!!

Is it true that the Big Bill passed Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors? A friend of mine received an email stating that.

All of us on Social Security got that email. It's not true. The only tax relief for seniors is an increase in the exemption from taxes for Social Security income.
