Bozo now on TV saying why we need to spend more money. (Congress, cost)

[diddlydudette]

lol. If he had any sense, he'd do the opposite. I guess he loves inflation. Well he is for destruction of America. So dems, enjoy seeing your America destroyed.

Idiot trying to convince us why he needs to spend 3.5 trillion dollars on a bill that has a lot of bad things hidden in it.

He's the scariest clown ever.

It's full of pork so they can buy votes.

But don't worry....the rich are going to pay for it all.

Well let the rich pay off our $23 trillion dollar debt that we've accumulated over the years because the rich didn't pay enough.

Congress lifted the cap on discretionary spending in the budget for this year.

The sky is the limit !

I had to turn it off. It's too despressing.

The rich and the childless (even if they aren't rich) will pay.

But they never really do pay more than what they truly owe.
And why should they ? They earned that money and payed their taxes. Why take more to give to others who don't give a crap about getting ahead ?

Our growing debt should attest to that.

The reality is that our government cannot contain their spending to stay within revenue. They spend more than we take in.

Are you "laughing out loud," for real? If it's so "depressing," why the "lol?"
Seems like something someone who is an actual clown might do.

I got my mail today and there was a check from the US TREASURY ?? It was 300 bucks for some monthly child payment? Since when do we get paid monthly? Man inflation is going to fly high

Well Biden's original proposed budget called for $6 trillion in spending...twice the revenue of the USG.

There is a scary amount of spending going on and inflation is starting to really kick in. The cost of food is really jumping. I went through a drive thru and picked up some things. I saw a sign for a mint flavored Oreo cookie shake so I said go ahead and add it to the order. I paid for it separately, when the lady said 5.50 I literally said, are you kidding me? 5.50 for a smallish shake?

I'm still just gobsmacked at five and half dollars for a 16 oz shake.

I do most of the grocery shopping and I'm at the store three days a week or so and seeing the price of the things I typically buy just going up and up.

It's crazy.
