1. But "the deficit, the deficit, the deficit!"

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.
