Both sides do the same thing. For many years there hasn't been any difference in the two parties. They both blame each other for not doing something they did not do when they were in office.
Trump is a little different, He is, at least, trying to do something. The democrats try to keep him in court to stop everything. Even getting rid of the criminals who have come to our country illegally.

All of it is just a power play. Republican-Democrat, Trump-Biden none of it really matters to the masses of peasants who stupidly believe that anyone but the very rich will wield power. The one great thing about Donald Trump is he brought the world's richest man out in the open so he does not have to rule from the shadows. We are entering an age when the pretense of "democracy" will be kicked aside. It's about time.

The Democrats believe in Tax and Spend. The Republicans believe in Cut and Spend. Neither gives a damn about some deficit. DUH

Republicans are terrible for the economy. Tariffs lead to higher prices and empty shelfs. At least Trump's inner circle can make a killin off the market volatility .

Not a single politician really believes the U.S. will ever pay the debts we owe. They waste money like a drunk sailor. Money will become obsolete long before any politician agrees to put a single dollar toward the debt. What are the people who hold our worthless IOUs going to do anyway?

Hey, Bill, now do an article on the difference in the amount of the state’s debt since the current leadership of the Mississippi Senate has been in office. It won’t be hard. Just go back to 2020 and come forward.

That can that they continuously kick down the road must be pretty sturdy.

Gold is money, everything else is credit. - John Pierpont Morgan

The bond market is going to force the administration to pay attention to the massive debt. Pissing on all the other countries, who buy American treasuries was such a stupid move. The idea of using American economic might to strong arm foreign governments to swap their bonds for "century" bonds will not work. Got precious metals?

Revisit this article in two years and see how wrong Bill Crawford is.

They're not the party of God, country, family, law and order, fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, morality, etc. Lick the boot or vote like your freedom depends on it.

Crawford is down on Wicker now but when ol' Roger, our alleged military expert in the Senate, is warmongering to arm the imbecilic effort in Ukraine (using our tax dollars) and its lunatic comedian Zelenskyy then Crawford can't laud Wicker's supposed leadership loud enough.

I mean you have DOGE trying to find wasteful spending. If the Dims actually cared they’d send a representative/s but they won’t. Either way no politician really cares because it’s not their money and they just blame each other and spend away.

During Trump's first term, the national deficit rose from 20 trillion to 28 trillion, in just four years. That's more that Obama's two terms combined.

For the first half of Trump's first term, the GOP had majorities in the House and Senate. For the second half, the GOP had the Senate.

So, we can't honestly blame the Democrats for the deficit increase in Trump's first term. We can, however, blame the same tax package that he wants to make permanent in his current term.

Why would we expect it to turn out differently this time?

My tax dollars being used to kill Russians sounds like a fantastic investment.

A hypocrite calling out hypocrites then closing with (part of) the same Mathew 7:5 Bible verse recently used to describe his hypocrisy, is hilarious and somewhat plagiaristic, isn’t it (Bill)? ROTFLOL.

When a man can make decisions about a scenario without knowing what side “his political party” is on, that’s a man that doesn’t have to be too concerned about Mathew 7:5.

Debt for countries is not the same and personal debt. We don't even go to the same banks! You can have a mortgage or a car loan and have assets that exceed your available cash.
The only similarity is that every time Congress tries to play politics with our debt, our interest goes up! 

Countries are not for profit, and they borrow to invest in the future. Businessmen and developers invest beyond the cash on hand all the time and rather have a yacht and deduct that as a business expense than to pay taxes.

Good grief, we could sell off all our parkland, the historical objects and art in the Smithsonian and National Gallery like Trump is trying to do .We could sell off our military equipment or bases. They are accumulatively worth far more than our debt, but that would be insane. It's especially insane when you see what he is trying to buy...Gaza? Greenland? Really?

5:02 a.m.: I agree, if it takes place on the battlefields of a country that was invaded by Russia.

The only difference with Trump is that many morons believe him even though he’s the most prolific liar in American political history.

Didn’t you hear, the Trump Tariffs are Obama’s fault.

What does protecting Ukraine from Russian aggression have to do with warmongering? If Zelenskyy is a lunatic comedian, what would you call the totally stable genius that is our caricature of a president?
