What is?

IF you had an education, you'd understand that speaking about debt increases in a vaccum means nothing. It's like running into a room and saying "I have TWELVE!!" when no one knows WTF you have TWELVE of.
Well if I am holding up 12 of whatever... they can see that and your example is moot. It's vacuum by the way.
Nice catch on my typo.

No problem

You are griping about debt increasing, which is a natural part of our economy, but ignoring that the debt:GDP ratio is DROPPING under this amdinistrations, which is a GOOD thing.
It is not a good thing. Inflation is causing people to SPEND more. Sure, it looks good as that money is going into the economy. At some point that trend hits a brick wall and usually hard and BAM, recession.
Sorry kid, but when the GDP increase faster than the debt, it IS a good thing. And it started happening after Biden took office. Take a class in math if you can't understand ratios.

Well, I guess we will both see.

You ignore that fact because it invalidates your complaint about the debt dollar amount increasing (which will ALWAYS happen unless our economy simply stops). You want to use one tiny piece of information to support your whole argument, and it makes you seem like an uneducated child when you do it.
No different than the people cheering Trump for all the jobs "he created" while forgetting there was actually a net loss. The same people will bet $100 on a horse and lose, but consider themselves a winner when they come out ahead by $50 on craps at the same casino.
Oh, you mean like how Biden claims to have created jobs by the millions? You know, when people go back to work after COVID, that is not a created job... they are just going back to work.
OK, so he doesn't take credit for job creation. Then we can erase all the credit given to Trump for job creation. Net zero sum, correct? I'm good with that.

Agreed.

You're a child in an adult world, and think like a child in an adult world. Your posts continue to show it.
Wanna see my "child sized diick"? You may rethink the child comment. Do not take this question literally ****. <--- that censored word sounds like ho moe.

There you go again wanting to do ****** things with me. Not my bag, but I have no problem if it's yours. As long as no one gets hurt, I could not care less what someone's ****** orientation is. it affects me not one bit. Sure seems to bother you, though.

I'd damage you in so many ways honey... I mean ewww gross!!! Nah, it doesn't bother me. Just keep that diick away from me man.

Huh? It's a mathematical fact and it's already happened, not something we have to wait for a decision on.
It's like me saying "2+2=4", or "I made 7K last month on stocks" and you saying "we shall see".
Not how math or history works.

Oh, and I didn't say you were "holding up" twelve of ANYTHING. I said "running into a room and saying "I have TWELVE!!" "
'Part of that whole COMPREHENSION thing you keep claiming I don't do...

You think it will continue to go well... for you. I say it's gonna crash hard into a recession.

If I run into a room and yell "I have 12" then it is safe to assume that I would be flailing my arms about showing off the 12 whatever's I have.

I made no predictions of the future. I posted a graph of what has already happened. You are predicting we will enter a recession, likely based on something you read and not your own understanding of the economy.
The bad part is that if the predictions others have made are accurate, the dip will happen under a Republican administration.

Good luck flailing those twelve fireplace cords of wood around.

Yes, these particular Democrats.

Everything going on right now is the current administrations problem. How they may or may not have started is irrelevant and blaming others for how or why doesn't fix anything. I am not speaking of Canada's protest. I spoke of all the riots that the left wanted to call peaceful protest and allowed to happen for nothing more than spite. COVID wasn't because of the last administration. However the COVID problem is on this administrations shoulders.

These are my opinions.

I know, I'm not challenging your opinion(s).

And yes, everything is the current administrations problem, I just was clearing up the cause, or root of the problem does not necessarily lye with the current admin. It was also not necessarily the fault of the previous admin either, that's just when it happened. I'm a believer in the theory of economic lag, which suggests that executive office actions take 3-5 years to effect the economy. COVID threw a big-ol elephant into that circus though.

For what it's worth, I don't think the any rational liberal thought those riots were peaceful, just like I don't think any rational conservative thinks the 1/6/21 events were peaceful. Our extremes are driving us all to make blanket assumptions about each other unfortunately. News is not news any more, its a money grab aimed at a demographic.

I love talking political issues but hate talking politics if that makes since? lol

I'm not a big fan of 2021 Joe Biden, I'm just less of a fan of 2021 Donald Trump. We are unfortunately being forced into very poor options. Id like to know how practically overnight Senator Sanders went from a 20 point lead to a 30 point deficit (50 % swing) during the primary. (I get your not liberal so its not something you were concerned with) . DNC forced poor choices on us so Bernie would never get a shot. The RNC I'm sure did similar, because they didn't want President Trump, it just didn't work.

You look to the past and I am forward thinking.

That's good. Prepare for the recession now, and do what you can to help avoid it.

Is this riding on the premise that COVID-19 variant was created in a lab?

Do you think corona occurred naturally? Please don't challenge my use of "corona" as if you don't know what I meant.

If you mean COVID-19, I accept the overwhelming expert evaluation thus far that it is a naturally occurring variant.

Howzabout you?

Why don't you give me your opinion rather than stating it as if it's a fact and anyone who thinks differently is wrong. I could accurately parallel your post with the opposite stance: "I accept the overwhelming expert evaluation thus far that it is a lab-created variant." We stop learning when we choose to.

Are you suggesting I should think contrary to expert evaluation?
I’m not a virologist and haven’t seen anything so far that would suggest the majority evaluation is wrong, so ‘not sure why I would think otherwise.

If your opinion is truly that it was made in a lab, what do you base that on?

I admittedly don't have enough time or dedication to do my own FOIA fact-finding. I have heard third-hand that there are dna sequences in this virus that haven't been found in any animal in nature, and Tucker Carlson hosted a very compelling chinese scientist/whistleblower who testified to the lab origin. Before you attack my sources, realize yours are also not universally accepted.
