Can’t wait for the MAGA Mental gymnastics on this one.
A couple things, Deficit Donny is back and after his nap more deficity than ever.
I kept hearing we were saving all this money because of Leon the Hair plugs but Napping Trump is running a higher deficit than old Man Biden.
I remember when the GOP used to pretend about the deficit but I guess it only matters when a Democrat is President. Maybe Trump can charge for rides on Hamas Force One and use that money to chip away at the deficit.

The days of " conservatives" being fiscally conservative are long gone .

The party of fiscal responsibility needs MORE debt everyone.

With Elon out, things will fall apart fast.

Elon was the only hope for fiscal responsibility.

From the article

“While the House’s plans call for raising the debt limit by $4 trillion, the Senate’s instructions detail a $5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling.”

What happened to Republicans caring about the debt?

He’s personally lost 130,000,000,000 since 2025 started.

Trump has added more to the US National Debt than any other president in history, and he hasn't even served a full 2nd term yet..

it enables more borrowing to cover existing obligations and new spending or tax cuts.

You should join the special Olympics with that kind of mental gymnastics.

GOP is failing conservatives in predictable and disappointing ways. Every single member of the legislative branch should be ineligible for reelection unless the pass a balanced budget.

So now we’re tacking debt limit increases onto bills to pay for them, instead of actually paying for them with, like, revenue and stuff. Awesome.

Does this surprise anyone here, left right or middle? Serious question.

This is a sound argument, for instance the last Canadian conservative government to balance the budget and pay down the debt was led by John Deifenbaker 57-63

I can't recall if Bush 1 balanced a budget , Nixon might be the last R president to do so

Repeat a lie often enough ...

Clinton ran a surplus, but that gets glossed over because he got a blowjob.

Nixon never balanced the budget. The last Republican to do it was Eisenhower.

How Eisenhower and Congressional Democrats Balanced a Budget

The election results did not change the political status quo, and the status quo has not been conducive to solving the nation’s festering fiscal problems...

The budget has only been balanced 11 times in Canada... barely seems like a priority for either party.
