The debt is high as balls of course, but really there is no specific significance to reaching the level of the GDP of one year. You could just as well say it has reached 400% of the quarterly GDP or 33% of the three year GDP.
Personally I'm more worried about concrete numbers like the cost of servicing the debt yearly. That has reached 17% of your yearly budget by now.
How did Biden let this happen?
Thanks Obama.
Technically correct. We hit 100% debt/GDP ratio in 2012. This headline is intended to manipulate you into thinking something that happened over a decade ago just happened.
We actually crossed 125% under Trump in 2020.
Shh. Democrats are perfect and anyone who suggests otherwise is a Russian.
It wasnt even... It was post 2008 stimulus.
I love how doge cut funding to sooooo many things and yet the debt is higher than ever. They cut USAID. they kicked people off welfare. They cut people off Medicaid etc. and yet the debt is higher than ever. Fuck you dumpy and co
doge was designed to remove all investigations to musk,+ allow russia to access database and security right after.
Its trumps debt. Every cent of it should come from his accounts
Every cent should come from his voters and donor's accounts.
I am so sick of the fiscally irresponsible Demonrats running up our national debt. If only they could follow the fiscally conservative Republisaint's example and cut all those pesky welfare programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Imagine if we took all that wasted money and gave it to wealthy to manage. Trickledown only works if we send a tidal wave of money upwards. So much money that some invariably trickles down to the undeserving poors.
We just have to switch to a regressive national 10% sales tax (with exceptions for large ticket item purchases that only wealthy people can make of course) we could have our Demonrat debt problem solved within a couple of years.
Hate to brake it to you guys but that threshold was crossed in like 2012. This is work of every single president since 90s. Not just Trump
Is bonkers to see how many people are gong for this like it just happened, and seem to be fighting you on reality.
The context being that debt has hit 100% of GDP during major shocks to the system: WWII, GFC, COVID and what?
NEVER let Republicans pretend to care about "fiscal responsibility" ever again.
This is what people said in 1992. And in 2008. Guess what happened
NEVER argue or give Republicans any benefit of the doubt ever again. If someone says they're Republican you should immediately shut them out of your life.
And a big shout-out to the big brains who voted third-party or chose not to vote Kamala for 'lol reasons'. You did that, too, take a bow!
he bankrupted multiple casinos, why not multiple countries?
He has stated recently that the "global economy is just a big casino".
Considering his history with those, I interpreted that as a threat.
Why not the same country multiple times?
New Mission Objective: SURVIVE
Is it really a mission objective when it is the main ploy to the plot. Just keep breathing and shitting.
New Mission Objective: Love yourself
I've been relistening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks, so you'll have to forgive me...
"NEW ACHEIVEMENT! Your country's debts now exceeds every single dime of annual production! Not only that, but its government is practically racing towards a full blown fascist dictatorship. Reward... No rewards for broke opressed bitches!"
Curious to see if it's gonna impact the USA credit ratings
When you're borrowing money to service the debt, things can get spicy
Did you even say thank you?
I still think the funniest thing about the Vance edits is that they look more normal than the real thing. Don't know how or why but the fucker lost the phenotype roulette and just looks surreal.
Truth, I actually didn't recognize him in the regular photos that popped up looking for this meme.
I think I figured it out, his head or at least face is too babyish. I don't know if it's because he's had work done or if he is just unlucky but his eyes up are normal ish but below his eyes are weirdly rounded. The edits often unify the rounding of his face resulting in him not looking so weird.
Though his head shape as a whole is kinda off regardless I think it's the weird assymetrical nature of his face that causes the surreal look.
