Blah Blah Blah.

Your inability to comprehend mathematics is showing.

$135B spent to save $25B, that will cost $300B over a decade = $435B burned.

MAGA winning!

Does your agenda to talk shit about Trump tell you this is a one time savings?

It's cute that you will cry about Trump and $435B and don't mention the $36T in debt from MOST democratic governments. Ya know, kickin *** since 1947. Do you know how much more $36T is than $435B? You can't fathom the actual difference.

More of your math confusion. The debt increased more under Trump than it did under Biden, by almost 10% difference.
Don't think you're kidding anyone. Republicans are pretty damn good at kicking up the debt calculator.

So you think $35B is nothing compared to the current debt, but are doing backflips because you THINK Elon saved $25B?
If $435B is "nothing", then $25B is not even a blip.
Good job at destroying your own argument.

With your complete lack of comprehension for simple math, how do you manage to survive without a babysitter controlling your finances?

Do you think a loss of $30+ BILLION of tax income per year is somehow made up in volume? Maybe by year 5 the loss becomes a gain, somehow?
Kind of like when Dementia Don said that if you remove all the negative numbers, the GDP will not have gone down since he took office?

Who gives a shit about the increase %. I am talking about actual dollar amounts. Trillions vs Billions. Democrats have done FAR more damage kid.

Trump makes Biden look like a rocket scientist.

Percentages would be irrelevant if the US population and economy were stagnant.
They are not.

A business that increases its income by 39% from $1M to $1.39M is doing better than a business that increases its income by 30% from $2M to to $2.6M, even though the $2M company made more money.
A penny stock that doubles in price is a better performer than a dollar stock that jumps to $1.75.

Percentage change is a measurement of performance, not dollar change.
Under Trump, the debt increase by almost 10% more than it increased under Biden. That indicates Trump did worse than Biden.

Deficits have spiked under every Republican president, largely due to tax cuts without corresponding spending cuts. Calling themselves "fiscally conservative" is just a tagline line for undereducated people to cling to.

He failed in his last attempt at trickle-down (which never worked before), and now he wants to do it again.

It only failed if you assume his intentions were good. They weren't. The republicans are going to sink the country way further into debt if the new rounds of tax cuts are passed. And we're going to have far less public services to boot. Double whammy.

Just because you don't believe something, does not make it untrue.
Your parents really screwed up when they raised you with such a sense of entitlement.

The U.S. Economy Performs Better Under Democratic Presidents​

The U.S. Economy Performs Better Under Democratic Presidents - The U.S. Economy Performs Better Under Democratic Presidents - United States Joint Economic Committee

www.jec.senate.gov

"The U.S. economy has performed much better under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents in the modern era. In almost every measure of the U.S. economy including total job growth, unemployment, economic growth, manufacturing job growth, manufacturing investment, small business creation, and contribution to the national debt, economic performance is stronger under Democrats. While there are many factors contributing to these trends, the throughline is clear that Democratic administrations consistently help the U.S. economy perform better than Republican administrations.

Republicans have prioritized tax cuts that benefit the wealthy and that fail to boost economic growth or pay for themselves, while Democrats have prioritized investing in the middle class, supporting small businesses, and improving economic resilience after downturns. Of the 11 recessions in the modern era, 10 have begun under Republican presidents."

And, Trump added $7.8 TRILLION to the National debt. A THIRTY NINE percent increase.
Biden's increase was THIRTY percent.

THIRTY NINE is a bigger number than THIRTY.

$36,000,000,000,000 - $7,800,000,000,000 = $28,200,000,000,000

$28,200,000,000,000 is more than $7,800,000,000,000 by a whole lot. Welcome to reality jackass.
