If anything, it will put massive pressure against globalism.

It is in the interest of globalists to continue the current house of cards.

I would hope so. You never know with the number of sheep in the world.

The GOP... thought it was all about fiscal conservative objectives.

Yet, corrupted by moron Donald THE KING OF DEBT, guess not so much huh?

The tax changes in the package would add $3.8 trillion to the nation’s debt over a decade, according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis released Wednesday before last-minute changes were made to the bill late that night.

In no possible way can anyone with a functional brain think the GOP pursues fiscally conservative objectives. The only one I can recall who pursued those was Newt Gingrich and he only managed a couple of years of that pursuit.

Well, yeah. It's sad but true.

And all the MAGA folks here who so strongly advocated reducing the deficit are now.... mysteriously quiet as a mouse.

No way the deficits go to zero immediately. I’ll take 10% or 11% additional debt over a decade. That should equate to slowing growth in the ND. I’ll take it for sure if the GDP grows faster. Grow the economy at 2% or better while keeping the ND to around 1% annual growth and it will be a big improvement over where we’ve been trending.

It’s not a simple exercise with all of the mandatory spending, keeping our military portion up to counter China, and have interest rates still not falling yet.

Do you have any examples of these “MAGA folks”, and what they “strongly advocated?”

Or is this just a broad, weeping generalization that you wish to be true?

I feel like those “folks” ought to have a chance to defend themselves with examples of how they are not now “mysteriously silent.”

I think Republicans voters do wish the debt would be addressed aggressively. Once again, it’s the politicians on both sides that dgas what the trajectory of this debt means for us and the generations behind us. This BBB doesn’t address the debt at all. I would’ve voted against it.

lol. I remember before the election it was”OH MY GOD THE PRICE OF EGGS!!!! HOW ARE WE GOING TO LIVE!?!?!” Now it’s “well everyone has to go through pain and you’ll just have to suck it up.” Meanwhile yam tits is on tv saying gas is under 2$ and groceries are down across the board, which has absolutely no basis in reality. What an absolute amateur shitshow.

Took a lot of everybody up there over the past couple of decades to get us here. The stupidity and lack of budget discipline isn’t limited to one side. Several on here, myself included, have been screaming about the debt for years. It may take a s*** load of financial pain to wake people up, but didn’t have to be this way.

Imagine the disaster if Carter era interest rates were in place with this level of ND. Might could trigger a default, depression, or both.

Meanwhile at the local level, the city mayor wants to raise the sales tax rate after already raising the property tax rate. While spending $1.2 million on some bizarre “art” at Summit and Gay Street. At least with the massive spend on the downtown baseball stadium there’s potential for a positive ROI with the infrastructure improvements enabling new construction and entertainment dollars being spent.

$1.2 million spent on this. It’s already been tagged with spray paint and collected spent syringes. The city also has a poet on the payroll.
