I’m sick of the appropriate wing’s pearl clutching and whining concerning the nationwide debt. They’re nonetheless underneath the phantasm that every one the ache being wrought by Trump administration insurance policies is to carry that debt down.
The GOP solely has just a few months to lift $4 trillion-plus for an enormous tax break for the wealthy, and thus all of us undergo the ache. Republicans may also elevate the debt ceiling one other $4 trillion to allow them to pay out extra in contracts to billionaire firms, as a further bonus for his or her coffers.
That is what occurs whilst you’re asleep on the wheel. Sleep, Republicans, sleep. By the point you’re “woke,” we’ll be trillions of {dollars} extra in debt and have achieved nothing. We’ll, as an alternative, lose extra of our soul. We can have sacrificed our freedoms and monetary safety for nothing greater than to complement the oligarchy.
