Fucking broken-ass record this guy is. The average American has no fucking reason to care about the deficit. That ship sailed a LONG time ago, but Republicans love to grandstand and pretend it's somehow more important than everything that actually directly affects people's lives, even as THEY throw money at fucking Musk's corporations and bullshit new government "agencies" (so much small government) like DOGE to supposedly "cut waste." All while blowing billions (possibly trillions) on shitty AI and $400 million on Elon's fucking cybertrucks in less than 2 months.

Not to mention Social Security doesn't contribute to the deficit AT ALL...and most of the stuff they've slashed and burned accounts for very little of it, which is why they have to do cartoon bullshit like lie about saving $8 billion on one contract when it was only $8 million (big difference there). What a clown show.

But how long will it take to finally set the federal government to rights after they get done dismantling it?? If we ever get the chance, that is...

…. and his ideas were working until they cut back on those “big government” socialist programs
and the U.S. economy slipped back into the depression. Gotta worry about the deficit is their
fall back position as they service the rich.

Those people were pissed because that was their money that fuck stick wanted to take.

Will turn right around and vote for him again because of some fabricated social issue the MagaPublican party makes up in 2026.

1) Ending Alzheimer’s research
Six million Americans have Alzheimer's, at a cost of $321 billion annually (personal care, nursing homes, have to drop-out of workforce)

2) Laying off IRS workers
Layoffs of IRS workers is a notion that is “misguided” and “will hurt everyday Americans who pay their taxes and count on the IRS to pay refunds on time while encouraging wealthy people and large businesses to cheat on their taxes.”

And that was just yesterday’s news

Penny-wise and pound-foolish or some-such
The only thing worse than an idiot is a cruel idiot
Go f**k yourself Tony Hinderman
