The GOP loves blaming the national debt on govt spending that helps millions of people.
What they won't tell you?
The real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich.
If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush & Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

I cannot stress enough how chaotic, stressful, and just plain stupid the operation of the federal government has become since January. It is difficult to put into words how quickly it devolved from relative order to bedlam for NO REASON. It was never about efficiency — it is about punishment.

As far as I know, even the Nazis didn't come up with the idea of sharing footage from concentration camp to fulfill the sadistic desires of their supporters. German High Command kept that for their own private viewing.

Howard Lutnick’s grandfather was an immigrant and tailor who eventually opened a dry-cleaning store. His father was a professor at Queens College. Lutnick is the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO.
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."
