Crazy how you can fire half the government, gut social services, and still manage to spend more.

Yeah, the usual Repubicunt tactic is to borrow a bunch of money to make it feel like the economy is doing great, and so they can use it as a tool to force Democrats to cut social services whenever they get into power. Yet, they have borrowed all the money and the economy is actually worse and they are cutting social services themselves. Crazy.

Have the Epstein files been released yet?
