How do you so-called “conservatives” and MAGAs justify this?

4D chess, I guess.

Quote:
In just the first half of the year, our government has spent $2.2 trillion, 13.7 percent more than the first half of FY 2016, the final year of Obama’s presidency, when Republicans were railing against the unconscionable rise in debt. The gross national debt is now $2.6 trillion higher than when the GOP drafted its new platform. More importantly, roughly 86 percent of that $2.6 trillion increase is composed of the public debt, not the so-called intra-governmental debt from Social Security (the money we “owe ourselves”)

In absolute dollars, $2.2 trillion is the most we’ve ever spent for the first six months of a fiscal year, and adjusted for inflation, it is roughly on par with what we spent during the first six months of 2009. That was at the pit of the Great Recession and included Obama’s massive spending binge, unemployment benefits, and a surge in welfare spending. It’s truly unprecedented to be racking up such high levels of spending and debt during a period of 3.8 percent unemployment.

There's more algebra needed for that equation.

T+X=O-I^4

Where
T=Trump
X=Xenophobia
O=Obama
I=Intelligence

So:
Trump + Xenophobia = Obama - Intelligence to the fourth power.

This is the simple view of the formula, it does not take into account the amount of xenophobia already in "T". X is really only the marginal xenophobia that is added by his dim followers.

Trump is the Orange Obama. Both big spending, narcissistic war criminals.

The fastest-growing expenditure is ironically the interest on the debt itself, which rose 13 percent over this time last year.
I find this quite comforting. Perhaps the total collapse is imminent?

*sigh*

One can dream...

We're spending too much. I can admit that, whereas you leftists never said a word when Obama spent as he did (and he wanted to spend even more, but was stopped by the GOP Congress).

This is what happens when you spend and don't pay for it. I'll never understand how Conservatives tricked themselves into thinking NOT paying for things was a way out of debt.

Wellllll someone has to pay for the 20 million illegal aliens living in the country and the thousands more that are streaming in every single day with nothing but the clothes on their backs and in need of everything.



It's not cheap to keep our "pet" so called "migrants"...
