Money is not a W. It’s not going to the American people. It’s not going to Venezuelans. It’s going to private bank accounts owned by Donald fucking Trump. How is that a W for you?

I’m not broke? America isn’t broke either. We have plenty of money. And no I’m not moving. So tired of maga just saying common sense progressives to leave the country. Fuck you. This is my country. Born and raised. Eat my fucking ass.

America is like $40 trillion dollars in debt

1. Most of that debt is to it’s own citizens 2. Our annual GDP is close to $30 trillion. While the debt is not ideal, it’s not unmanageable. We are still the richest country in the history of the world. 3. Most of our national debt has come from Republican presidents. This is because they continuously increase military spending while decreasing taxes for the rich and businesses. 4. Illegal immigrants pay taxes and don’t get benefits, so if anything, they’re helping the budget

1. Most of that debt is to China 2. It is incredibly unmanageable. It’s nearly impossible to pay off, hence why we haven’t

That is not true. The vast majority of our debt is to our own citizens. China is like 8%. Like I said, republicans keep raising the national debt. The last time we didn’t run a deficit was under Clinton. It’s not impossible to pay off, we just have to raise taxes on the ultra wealthy to the 1950’s levels, and cut military spending and waste in the pentagon. But the party in power wants to do the opposite. Trump said today he wants military spending to go from 900b, to 1.5 trillion… insanity

https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RS22331#_Toc198900178 China is 8.9% of us debt. https://www.factcheck.org/2008/02/the-budget-and-deficit-under-clinton/ Clinton is the only president since 1970 to balance the budget https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy59kxl2xwzo. He said he wants to increase mil spending to 1.5 trillion.

I shouldn’t have baby feed information. I’d hope if you can type on yak that you can type in Google. None of this was hard to find.
