"The need to increase the debt limit1 has focused attention on the size and trajectory of the federal debt. Long-term projections show2 that federal debt as a percentage of the U.S. economy is on a path to grow indefinitely, with increased noninterest spending due to demographic changes such as increasing life expectancy, declining fertility, and decreased immigration and rising health care costs permanently outstripping revenues under projections based on current law. House Republican leaders have used this fact to call for spending cuts,3 but it does not address the true cause of rising debt: Tax cuts initially enacted during Republican trifectas in the past 25 years slashed taxes."

He challenges their unthinking loyalty with comments compsring himself to Jesus Christ and, I'm sorry but, if the whole MAGA thing isn't a cult then explain how the MAGmorons let him compare himself to Jesus Christ? How they let this deeply immoral man hawk Patriotic American Bibles when even they know the United States began its existence 2000 yeara after the death of Jesus. Clue....the U.S. nor St. Trump are ever mentioned in the Bible! Sometimes I wonder, is Trump really just a comedy actor who was in a skit that people started to believe was a real person?
It ain't funny any more! But he is a perfect charicature of an over the top clown that some people started taking seriously!
