It's all "projected" debt. Thanks MSM for always having Kamala's back 😀 If Elon gets to clean out the Whitehouse, that alone might save a few trillion. 🤣

Kamala Harris is ignoring citizens in that hurricane but sending billions to zelensky, Israel & Ukraine. And the slow ppl still supporting Kamala Harris after this need help.

During Donald Trump's presidency, the U.S. national debt increased 40.43%. The U.S. federal budget deficit as a percentage of GDP reached 14.9%. Moody's downgraded the U.S. credit outlook from stable to negative. The last time a Republican administration balanced the federal budget was in 1960 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

TFG has left a wake of bankrupt businesses in his path and now he intends to do the same to our country. His first term was already infamous for adding a record amount to the national debt and increasing income inequality with his regressive tax cuts for corporations and the already obscenely rich. Does anyone seriously want 4 more years of this irresponsibility? NOT ME!

Most of people just need food we can’t afford food anymore. I don’t pay taxes, I make two little I don’t need a tax break. This person talks like she doesn’t even know what the country is going through, she is playing us. Get rid of her.

The economists & most business CEOs have answered this. Harris/Walz a benefit | Trump/Vance would absolutely hurt our pocketbooks, inflation of taxes and higher prices (tariffs, rich/corporate taxcuts), and trillions more in debt.
