This is likely her peak, right here. She showed up in 2022 when Biden could not wait to be able to say her hired the first black lesbian immigrant to be press secretary. It had nothing to do with her skillz, as the kids say, but rather her "three checked boxes".
Heh good points. Maybe there is a job she can do in her native Hatti, because she certainly doesn't belong here.

We had the COVID nonsense for two years where government spending was up astronomically trying to solve all of the problems (and failed), while at the same time the government locked everything down and the economy was trashed, along with the incoming tax revenues. So deficits obviously rose greatly.

Now we are trying to get back to normal. People are working more - tax revenues are slowly returning to pre-pandemic norms. Government spending is down since COVID is no longer to major focus. So the deficits are naturally returning to normal levels.

So the hard work of the BidenAdmin that she touts - is the return to normalcy. They really didn't have to do any hard work. They just needed to get out of the way.

All of that and she still didn't answer his question.
Exactly. It’s extremely intellectually dishonest. If it were up to republicans we wouldn’t have shut down at all. They can’t demand everything be shut down, claiming republicans are killing people by not, then take credit when they’re in power and reopen. The deficit should have come down a lot more than it did but they kept a lot of the spending in place and added new spending even in the light of massive waste, fraud, abuse and historic inflation.

But But the Dems are telling us that with all of us paying off the debt of others that we will all benefit? What did Granny Warren say? That now millions of people will be able to move out of their parents house to buy their own home, start a business, get married Blah Blah Blah. She is really dense if she thinks $10,000 is going to do all of that or she is starting to believe her own Lies.



You are right about the school taxes. I don't have kids but I am still required to pay into the school budget that is always going up.

Of course in the perfect Liberal Utopia we would all be paying for everyone to go to college. We already pay for K-12 with some areas also paying for Preschool. There has been talk in DC about making the first 2 years of college Free as well.



Are we allowed to ask what our actual Return on Investment is or is this loan payoff a pipe dream and nothing but a scheme to garner Votes?

The benefit is self-evident. Millions of unemployed and underemployed, emotionally fragile young adults with a degree in gender studies, professing their undying obedience and fealty to a reality-averse worldview, and clamoring for the ever-out-of-reach "utopia" to be effectuated by force of the government gun. Why can't you just celebrate and start speaking with them in tongues!

Neither Democrats nor Republicans pay for their big spending pet projects. It will just be added to the trillions of debt we already
owe.

It's easy to spend other people's money but not your own.

Thing is, when he hits 3 magic check boxes with one empty sack, he's free to hire some actual competent people that don't check the boxes-if necessary. Sadly, he can't even do that! This administration has to have the most bumbling idiots in history, it's like a really bad clown show.

Who do you think is in the power position?
Personalities, smarts, competence or any attribute doesnt matter nearly as much as the reality of the situation. It’s all commentary to give the illusion of superiority. Who has the juice in this relationship?

He is punching up. Anyone who ever worked in any corporate or business situations should know who wins.

What's she gonna do? Have him killed?

Only a fox viewer thinks about violence and death as an end result. How does that even enter your mind!?

I was referring to access and influence.

She's no Kayleigh McEnany - or Dana Perino for that matter. (whether or not you agreed with the 'politics' of the presidents they represented)

Nice try. But wrong.
Democrats & their minion media outlets are the ones promoting violence & assassinations.
Look up your own sources. Not my responsibility.
