    Nope. I will point out his reckless debt actions PRIOR to the pandemic though

    Who?

    I was for extending benefits, but the House wanted an extra $2 trillion in pork to do it.

    They are benefitting for the GROSSLY OVERVALUED, AMAZON,TESLA,FACEBOOK,ALPHABET,NETFLIX and a few other companies. But the vast majority are deep in debt and unprofitable. Look at BOEING our for years largest dollar volume exporter??? There immediate future prospects are DISMAL at best.

    Anazon and Facebook are liberal companies, censoring conservatives. Twitter, too.

    You didn’t get your free Bernie shares? After all, Bezos owns the Washington Compost and demands companies pay a living wage!!! For his competitors, of course, lol. That just helps him out since he’s automated so many jobs.

    Are you upset the liberal corporations aren’t sharing their massive wealth with you?

    I’d write them an angry letter and ask them why they support living wages, but want someone else to pay for it.

    Indeed! I don't pretend to know squat about economics so someone, ANYONE, enlighten me. Just who are our "creditors"? Just how much do we pay these "creditors" per month, quarter, or year towards our astronomical debt and the equally astronomical accruing interest? Is our "line of credit" finite? Or does it extend to the end of time itself, and our "creditors" stand a better chance of seeing God's gonads before they see a quantum fraction of what they're owed? Seems to me someday somethings got to give, and it's likely not going to be pretty.

    Fact. Your use of profanity doesn’t make your trolling any more convincing.

    We hold a lot of the debt, as does China. Our interest payments to China are enough to fund their annual military budget.

    Passing more spending debt is a national security risk, but neither party in Congress cares.

    This year, the interest payments will be about $376 Billion on what is owed (up from $240 billion when Obama left office).

    Interest rates vary. If Obama had ever achieved a good economy, interest rates might have increased.

    The interest rate in 2014 was higher than the interest rates in 2019 and 2020. The interest rate in 2010 was higher than 2017.
    You were saying?

    There was very little difference between the last years of the Obama economy and the first years of the Trump economy

    Just on the interest ALONE? Either this all is as meaningless as the economics of a Monopoly game or a day of reckoning will come.

    ~ You are not alone. Vanguard is very well managed - probably the best no-load mutual fund. Do not expect the same results if Democrats take over.
    ~ Likely this is exactly what China is planning - especially if Trump is reelected. I think Wuhan was a test run.
    ~ None of the extra had anything to do with Wuhan virus compensation / relief.

    Check the charts instead of cherry picking two points on a 12 year time frame.

    See the rise at the end there?

    Also, debt outstanding matters. I remember Trump wanting to cut budgets and we ended up with the longest government shutdown in history.

    Already did that in another thread. Since leftists never bother to discuss the facts, I don’t feel like doing it again.

    If you want to argue, why don’t YOU show us how every penny of the $3 trillion was COVID related.

    Yep. I did. I’d go back and dig for it, and expect you to apologize when I post the link, but you won’t. So you can dig through my old posts and find it yourself.

    Or, you can detail the $3 trillion and show us that none of it was pork and actually do some research yourself. It would be a first for you.
