The Economy and the Election. The only poll that maybe matters.

Tick tock..

Here’s who will pay to fix the nation’s mushrooming debt

No politician will tell you this, so we will: Well-off seniors are going to bear much of the burden for getting control of the national debt.

The author and his budget expert are both morons. Not everything in the article is BS but there "fixes" sure are.

Yes. Especially on the tax side. Increasing the cost of productivity does not seem sound to me.

Nope, not sound at all.

But you know that’s probably going to be their only answer. Always is. Show me a consumption tax, take the meat cleaver to spending and let’s roll.

Just throwing something up against the wall, but outside of a declared war, no member of Congress should be eligible for re-election if during their term the government operated at a deficit.

And I mean an actual Declaration of War, not "police" actions.

We'd be constantly at war.

I thought of that as well. Sucks.

The graph isn't exactly a winning endorsement for any candidate.

This is what started happening prior to the housing crisis. Too many people loading up on too much personal debt, got behind and then the mortgage. May be exacerbated even more this time because of higher inflation. Worth watching very closely.

if we hit a recession and people start losing jobs, it will be nasty.

they love to act like the only possible option out of 330 million people in the nation are the two choices the parties give us.

they love to act like the only possible future options are the two being presented by the parties. subjectively worse, and subjectively less worse. ignoring that both are still objectively worse for us.

they love to act like we need to shun anyone who wants to make things actually better. its better to just shut up and go vote for less worse than to try and find actually better.
