Hey Krasnov & Congressional Magats, The Nation debt Is 39 Trillion Dollars

Is it just me or has our debt been swept under the rug? I understand that when Republicans are in control the National debt is put away in mothballs.

Back in the old days I used to argue that we needed to look at Debt to GDP because our GDP covered our debt, well, now today, it doesn't.

The United States is akin to someone who can't make the minimum payment due on his/her credit card.

Hey Democrats how about talking about the debt? No fucking ballrooms or arches or painting the reflecting pool blue, how much money has Krasnov spent golfing?

Poor Jimmy Carter had to put his peanut farm in a blind trust.

That's a million million dollars. 1,000,000,000,000--39 of these.

The budget will never be balanced again. trump sees the national treasury as his piggy bank for whatever crazy thing he wants.
