You idiots

I haven't mentioned where the fault lies; that's your invention. There is plenty of blame to go around, but Biden is President right now, so it falls to him to do the right thing, right now. Adding fuel to the fire by introducing even more massive government spending programs is not the right thing to do. Do you disagree?

Student Loan forgiveness.........agreed.......vote buying with taxpayer money setting an incredibly bad precedent for the future. CHIPS........there is massive global demand for semiconductors, and a significant shortage, yet the taxpayers need to give Intel and others huge amounts of money to encourage them to tap that demand? Inflation Reduction Act (try not to laugh)...........inapt doesn't cover it. Just another huge wish list item to appeal to his base.

Sometimes you just have to stop spending.

And the $1.6T dollar tax gift of that loan forgiveness goes to the universities who CAUSED the problem by lying to students about the benefits of those loans. (I assume everyone here knows that those universities have cash by the trillions stashed in their collective bungholes, raised their tuitions by the amount of those forgiven loans anyway, and thus don't need or deserve one red cent of that gift from unwitting taxpayers.)

Everyone here also knows the Inflation Reduction Act is an even bigger ripoff, an AGWA scam in sheep's clothing.

At least President Joe Biden isn't pissing away billions on a foolish border wall and lying about who will pay for it. Speaking for myself, I'm stoked that Biden had the good sense to invest in America while he can realistically muster the support in Congress. In the long term, the decision to invest in America will bear fruit on so many fronts.

Should the Republicans win the House in November, that will all end. Republicans don't have any real plans other than going after Hunter Biden or a boatload of other useless investigations targeting the Biden Administration. And, no doubt, they will close down the January 6th committee hearings in an attempt to get Donald Trump off the hook. Maybe they'll even go after Hillary Clinton again and create another ludicrous circus that goes nowhere. Hillary always brings out the bloodthirsty nature of the Republican base. Got to keep them panting in a fever of hate.

Let’s see, Trump’s corporate tax cuts cost $750 billion, and ensured an ample supply of campaign contributions for Republicans. Biden’s forgiveness of some student debt is estimated by Wharton’s between $469 and $519 billion. Crickets from the right when Trump blew a hole in the budget. Wailing and gnashing of teeth when Biden kept one of his campaign promises—you remember, the election he won by 8 million votes because the Republicans ran a crook.

The US is hell bent on bringing back manufacturing of semi's due to the Chinese threat of invading Taiwan. TSM exports 65% of their goods to North America. So, in short the US is protecting its own interests...
