Ah, yes, the corruption. Good thing our tax dollars are being spent so wisely by Republicans, those stalwarts of fiscal responsibility.
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy.
Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?
Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."
You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!
