Democrats are going to turn on Joe.
I understand where you are trying to go with this. What's apparent is you've never worked in a bureaucratic arena or you wouldn't try to be making this point.It’s a cynical and self-defeating idea. Cutting the IRS budget doesn’t save money. It costs money, because with fewer resources the tax agency will have a harder time catching wealthy tax cheats who don’t pay what they owe. The CBO analyzed Johnson’s Israel bill and found cutting the IRS budget by $14.3 billion would reduce federal revenues by $26.8 billion, for a net cost to taxpayers of $12.5 billion
The CBO estimated that the additional funding would help the IRS pull in about $180 billion in additional tax revenue during that time period, mainly through stronger enforcement. On net, that would amount to $100 billion in revenue above costs, the amount by which the overall measure would reduce deficits.
Can you imagine running a household, let alone a corporation like the government is run ....holy hell ...What puts you in debt isn't what you make - its what you spend.
When Democrats are in office, they like a tax and spend policy; when Republicans are in its a borrow and spend.
Either way, its further debt that gets pushed on to our grandchildren now. Saw where if we were going to pay down the national debt today it would cost each American a whopping $180K. This debt came from Democrats.... AND Republicans. At least with the Dems you know what you're going to get - Republicans just lie straight-faced about fiscal responsibility.
Mandatory spending on entitlements and military eat up over 80% of the budget. That's where a major overhaul needs to occur. It's a sacrifice each party is going to have to make.
Until we quit spending trillions more than we take in, no matter how many cheat, it won't make a hill of beans. Get the financial house in order, then we can take on the tax cheats - from both parties.
And who pays for state roads?The states maintain the roads.
“What puts you in debt isn't what you make - its what you spend.”What puts you in debt isn't what you make - its what you spend.

Leftists always accuse others of what they do. It's as reliable as night following day.
The initial costs of building the system were paid for by taxpayers, and taxpayers through excise taxes on gasoline, fees on vehicle licensing, and transportation of goods and services pay for ongoing maintenance. The roads don't keep costing what we paid to build them, and nothing government does ever pays to maintain them. The money is always raised through private commerce, and taxpayers get charged with the bill!“What puts you in debt isn't what you make - its what you spend.”
That’s really incorrect and superficial. I went in debt to buy my first car (money I spent), but that car allowed me to get a job (money I earned). The interstate highway system is similar. We went (and go) in debt to build them, but the payback from improved commerce increases GDP.
We don't have a deficit because we tax too little. We have a deficit because we spend too much! That fact is something you Socialists on the Left never accept, and quite frankly don't understand because you think ALL government spending is justified. No it isn't, and most of it can easily be reduced or even eliminated in favor of allowing the people who earn the money government spends on itself keeping that instead & spending it on themselves.“What puts you in debt isn't what you make - its what you spend.”

I posted earlier ITT you can't discuss basic economics and/or taxation with these mind numbed Leftists! They have been conditioned to believe all economic activity emanates from a more muscular and robust central government, therefore all spending to maintain and grow it is not only necessary but a pre requisite for any private commerce to even exist!You really said this ?
True to a certain extent. Not all debt is bad. The car itself depreciated in value the minute you bought it, so economically that was "bad" debt. The value of the job/earning money is a good thing. But, I bet you didn't immediately after getting that car and job go buy a 350K house from your job working at McDonalds ( not a put down, just using a typical first time job for people as an example). THAT is what the government does - overspending by "borrowing" on future wages.“What puts you in debt isn't what you make - its what you spend.”

You realize none of this is being reported by the so called "news media"? They are ignoring this story like they ignored Trump's massive rallies during the '20 campaign. To this day Biden voters have no idea how popular Trump was compared to the paltry crowds that turned out at Biden so called "rallies"...I mean it was pathetic.
Fresh revelations contradict Joe Biden’s sweeping denials on Hunter
The president hasn’t been shown to have committed wrongdoing, but a POLITICO review of recent developments casts doubts on several statements.www.politico.com

Trump had 20 mile long motorcades, boat parades, overflowing crowds at venues...and none of it was ever shown on the main news media broadcast outlets. It was a total blackout.
Likewise, to this day, the vast majority of people who don't frequent alternative media have no idea of how corrupt Joe Biden and his family are, and they are clueless about these ongoing revelations you're posting because it's not being covered. If/when Republicans do get around to impeaching Biden, most folks will think it's just Republicans playing petty politics because the media is not reporting these stunning revelations of rampant corruption and lying.
Imagine if this were Trump?
The problem is though it isn't just the "socialist/leftist" who are to blame. Trump and Bush did as much or more damage to the debt as any Democrat ever did. With the Dems, everybody knows where they stand - they don't even lie about it.I posted earlier ITT you can't discuss basic economics and/or taxation with these mind numbed Leftists!

That is a total bastardization of our free enterprise free market system but they simply cannot see it operating any other way unless the government is smack dab in the middle of it picking winners and losers, who gets paid and how much the government's take is going to be?
Yes this is true...our deficits and the out-of-control spending cannot be laid just at the feet of Democrats. The "uniparty" is to blame here. We need honest and determined representatives who are willing to tackle this problem regardless of whose Ox gets gored? We are on an unsustainable path towards fiscal insolvency (I'd argue we're already there) and unless we reign in these deficits we all will suffer regardless of which party we blame.The problem is though it isn't just the "socialist/leftist" who are to blame.

These economic Rhinos like Trump and Bush bold-face lied and did it all with the goal of benefitting themselves, supporters, and their re-elections. Each side just pads the wallets of the people who help get them there - no matter the consequences.
This is one issue no side has a favorable argument.
The problem is Trump isn't a professional politician. Professional politicians know this is how the game is played - the bigger the office the bigger the malfeasance that goes on. If you lose, you realize its just a learning experience and you get better at it the next time you run. Look at Nixon as an example. Everyone wrote him off by 62 after losing the California Gubernatorial race. By 72, even though he has re-election in the bag, he let past failures destroy his presidency - from within.You realize none of this is being reported by the so called "news media"?

I don't watch the major news outlets so I can't say if it's being widely reported or not? I know in speaking with Democrat supporters in my own social circles very few of them are even remotely aware Biden's corrupt money laundering is under Congressional investigation, much less any of these damming revelations you're posting. They all do think Trump is a "criminal" facing multiple felonies because of course that's constantly being reported on the major broadcast outlets! However if I ask them to comment on Biden's lies about the fact he knew nothing about Foreign money being deposited into his Son's bank accounts and distributed among his Family...they just claim I'm regurgitating "conspiracy theories" from Social media.They are reporting it now. They are trying to pressure Biden to exit. Newsome is on deck. They think a new candidate will help. It won't. Same policies that don't accomplish anything except destroy our country.
Trump draws such visceral hatred among the ruling political elites precisely because he doesn't play that game you've described IMO. I do think his own arrogance and political naivete does not serve him well, but I appreciate the fact he loathes the ruling elites as much as we do and that's what I think is the main appeal to his supporters.The problem is Trump isn't a professional politician.

A true politician would have simply "accepted" his defeat and waited until Biden's presidency, which never had the support of even the majority of the Democratic Party, imploded - which everyone with half a brain realized was going to happen.
Unfortunately, it may be his downfall.
Problem is that very few people in this country even know what the candidates stand for so even fewer vote regarding policy or platform. Right now, the Dems are simply going to wait to see what happens with regards to Trump and all his trials. There is the hope that a conviction or two might allow, in desperation, states to keep him off the ballot because of the 14th Amendment. This is their Hail Mary, but that could only occur if he's convicted and the Supreme Court rules in their favor.They are reporting it now. They are trying to pressure Biden to exit.

While it's true very few voters take time to study the issues, we typically get what we vote for. All one has to do is look at California for a preview of what's in store for the rest of the country if voters are dumb enough to put that guy (Newsome) in office!Problem is that very few people in this country even know what the candidates stand for so even fewer vote regarding policy or platform.

If not, then look for Biden to bow out by late Spring/early Summer. Newsome looks like the most likely candidate and would appeal to women voters as well as possibly bringing some Black votes back into the fold. To add, that wouldn't give the Trump campaign a good head start in their smear attacks toward him so they'd have to be playing catch-up.
What's the worst? It would give that swing voter who can't stomach Trump but dislikes Biden for his age, economy, etc. an alternative they could maybe go for - remember, few people vote for a candidate based upon their beliefs.

Really?Right now, just the interest alone on the national debt equals over 90% GDP.
Yeah, that was a big misprint. Got the numbers reversed. Clearly, it was wrong. Still, everything else written was solid and the interest is "skyrocketing" according to your own source.Really?
The U.S. government's interest bill is skyrocketing
- In the current fiscal year, interest spending is on track to surpass $800 billion, more than double 2021's $352 billion figure. In 2026, the government's net interest expense would reach 3.3% of GDP, the highest on record.
