Did we not just spend the last 18 months raising interest rates at the fastest pace in history to fight inflation, and now we're going to print more money out of thin air which will only further raise inflation.
Does anyone else feel like politicians on both sides are no longer doing what's best for the American people and instead just lining their own pockets?
This is a garbage bill and budget that will probably pass. Sad that we’ve got these bottom of the barrel politicians running this country. It’ll exacerbate inflation but when election time rolls around, everyone will continue to vote for these people anyway. Sad!
It's going to pass with flying colors, but not until they slip in another couple hundred billion to satisfy the squealers who say it isn't providing enough for their districts.

And with higher interest rates, the US will have to print even more money (out of debt) to cover the interest payments on our debt.
It's a cycle that feeds off of itself.
CBO is projecting the 10 year interest costs to be $8.1 trillion!!! Think about that! That $8.1 trillion is going to have to be created out of thin air to service the debt.
Net interest costs will account for almost 40 percent of federal revenues by 2052. Something tells me that there is going to be a big struggle between now and then.
Get people & businesses strung out on federal government spending like a junky on crack and one will never be able to stop it until those junkies stop using government money.
Pretty funny how much crap the left gave Trump for wanting to ban TikTok, yet this bill bans it on government devices.
Anyways it's just funny money at this point. We're on our way to a quadrillion in debt and nobody cares. I wouldn't be surprised if we hit it in the next 15-20 years.
