$24+ trillion national debt

$1 trillion+ deficit

helicopter money

$1 trillion DAILY repo market operations now

QE infinity

zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) back and POTUS demanding negative rates (NIRP) lol

Federal Reserve is about to hit $5 trillion on their balance sheet


Where have all of the fiscal conservatives gone? Radio silence from the same individuals who cried about the importance of "fiscal conservatism" under Obama on a daily basis.

They're in the same place as the "tolerant liberals".

Meaning they never existed.

I think our system killed them all off. Watching this freak show progress is enough to make a "fiscal conservative" stroke out. A lot of people just decided to ignore it, because it's not healthy to focus on negativity all the time.

The reality is though, lefties would wither and melt if our nation ever lived within its means. So down the rabbit hole we all go.

People been singing that message ever since we found out Americans are going to get checks.

But this is what people fail to realize. Nobody wins if their is chaos. Rich people in this country don't want welfare to go away. Some wills say that but the truly rich don't want it gone because as long as people get free checks of $ they stay in line.

My point of that is what exactly do you think will happen if Americans don't get checks? We will have anarchy. Conservatives can still have a conservative mind set in every day life but we aren't living every day life anymore. We are on the verge of a depression & millions of Americans being out of work that live pay check to pay check.

If this isn't done EVERYBODY losses. Ordinary citizens will turn into "thieves" because when it comes down to robbing your neighbor or your kid starving you're going to choose the ladder.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. But the stock market is high risk. Always has been, and always will be. I would argue that the more the government and fed does to try to prop up the stock market, the more dangerous it well become, and the more volatile it will become when they lose control. And they have definitely lost control.

We complained under Bush and under Clinton and Under Reagan, not that you care about the truth.

The question is, why do you support big government when it's a known failure?

Here's what happens when the government is late a day on food stamps... This is what happens when American's miss a single meal. Yes, it would be chaos. Imagine the chaos that would unfold if Americans get their "free money", and find out the stores are running low on potato chips and soda

They're all lined up waiting for their checks. And they will continue to whine about socialism as they cash them.

When a government is big enough to give you everything you want, they are big enough to take it away.
