ah ANY government, spending money they don't have. Taking in record revenues each year but ensuring their spending outpaces revenue growth... its.. the WORLDS way!!

Any country spends spends no matter what their revenue coming is. Then they do not prioritize their spending either. They spend it usually on weapons and munitions, not on pollution , medical care, education, feeding their people etc.

OH he did put America first.

*The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
*The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
*Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.
*Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.
*Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%. Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%.
*Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.
*The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.

He lost and that is why Biden is in the seat
If you have any data bring it on not just items such as "How are Joe n Kamala doing in comparison to DTs time as prez ??"
That is a deflection statement and I am not going to get into it

Just so you know that tanks in video on train cars most likely have nothing to do tanks for Ukraine. Highway 40, part of interstate 70, where video taken, is right near Ft Riley, home of the 1st Infantry Division.

U.S. Politics will heat up the closer we get to hitting the debt ceiling.

Kevin already working on ****** over America / Americans.
- Planning on bringing a 30%+ Sales Tax vs Income Tax Bill up for a vote.
- Privatization or making Social Security part of the annual budget (voted on annually vice being untouchable as mandatory spending)
- Elimination of Medicare (aka Obama Care). Close to 64 million Americans are covered by Medicare.
* Not a fan of Medicare, but until health care costs are decreased/controlled...it's the best option.
- Another tax break for the rich and corporations. Yea, Republicans care about the Nations Debt/Deficit.
- Attacking the IRS funding. Hate the IRS, but hate the wealthy and corporations cheating the system MORE!!!!
- Planning a Federal Govt Abortion Ban.
- MTG placed on Homeland Security Committee. Yea, Republicans all talk about National Security.
- George Santos being assigned to two committees. Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. WTF, lying grifter on Small Business and a committee where insider info for stock trades would be beneficial.

And he's just getting started.

Oh, on Debt Ceiling.

First 1 second of video covers it (does miss the fact that....if America Defaults, it'll kill the dollar....which will effect most Americans living overseas), but worth watching the entire video.

Only problem with this cartoon is it ignores that US oil production under Biden has booming, with the trend line showing greatest volume in US history.

US oil production has increased dramatically of the past years https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafH ... rfpus2&f=m

Sept 2008 3,974,000 barrels per day
September 2022 12,375,000 barrels per day
An increase of 8,401,000 barrels per day or increase in production of 211%
I dont think there is any need to say how disgusting this is

Saudi oil production has stayed around 10Million barrels per day

Multiple issues here Mr D.

The US has increased production to move away from imports, Actual consumption over the same period is pretty much unchanged. So the carbon footprint has not increased 211%.

The other issue is lack of alternatives to petrol and diesel, EVs are only a small viable alternative at present. Until cleaner alternatives are commonly available we cannot eliminate fossil fuels for transportation

I never said anything about the Carbon Footprint. I refer you to the Originators Cartoon titled "Oil Production" Where did you see that ?
The second issue you mentioned "lack of alternatives to petrol and diesel," where are you reading this in my entry?
Back to where you came from

Maybe I have misinterpreted you statement about a 211% increase being disgusting, if that was not about carbon emissions, what makes this increase disgusting?
