Me too!! Got a dirty look for waking up my kitty!! 😾

Haha me too!

Can we add two zeroes to the SUV fee? These goddamn shitbricks ought to corrode and fall apart and their drivers should be forced to walk. Yeah yeah, not all of them, sure, but I hate SUVs and (most of) their drivers with a passion.

In my country they have a carbon tax on new cars!! Anything for the government to make more money.

Does she think she's too good to work at her father's company? Young people these days...

I think he'll find it's a little harder because of civil service laws. At least that's what the law says, but with a bought supreme court, all bets are off.

I hear he's got a plan to deal with the lack of truck drivers... deport all the people who pick our food so it rots on the vine and doesn't need transport.

Or if he just doesn't like you

Have an upvote to counteract the downvotes.

Way more than civil service jobs will be gone!

Even worse than that, he’ll get the biggest, richest k******d alive to do it, probably through a crappy visual joke on twitter.

Well, if all else fails, they should stand their ground, hold strong and fight like hell. That's how you deal with bullies...

We all lose with trump

The federal budget isn't ruled by fiat. At least, not until the Supreme with Sour Cream Court Jesters decide it is.

Opposed to the THOUSANDS who lost jobs on day 1 of the Biden administration??

Trump FTW!

So excited for Trump's department of government efficiency to clean house! Why do you people want our tax dollars being wasted on unnecessary employees?

Yes, federal employees who are not needed should definitely keep their jobs and be supported by the taxpayers for doing nothing. That's great. 🤔

If you remove NSF fees from the balance sheets of major banks, they all end up running at a loss.

Writing a check for more than the amount in your checking account is the stupidest thing.

My credit union no longer has overdraft or low balance fees.

Trickle down economics is a proven failed policy and yet the GOP clings to it like an alcoholic to the bottle.

Um....no. The deficit in 1977 was 31.4 billion, by 1980 it was $59 billion, while the national debt was $914 billion (an increase of $532 billion since 1970) Reagan didn't take office until January of 1981, the national debt passed the $1 trillion mark by October of that year, with the deficit for the year being =$79 billion, 1982 -$128, 1983 -$207, 1984 -$185, 1986 -$221 1987 -$149 1988 -$155. Bush 1 took the deficit to a high of -$290 in 1992....but Clinton, DECREASED the deficit every single year he was in office, ending up with a SURPLUS of $70 billion in 1998, $76 billion in 1999, and $240 billion in 2000. https://clintonwhitehouse4.archives.gov/WH/New/html/surplus2.html https://clintonwhitehouse5.archives.gov/WH/new/html/Tue_Oct_3_113400_2000.html

And as long as it continues to lag behind economic growth, then it doesn't matter. If I put $100 on my credit card to pay for gas to go do a job that pays $2000, then put $200 more on the card to pay for more gas and go do a $4000 job, so on and so forth, then the debt is not only serviceable but well worth the investment. The problem with the federal debt is that the rich refuse to simply pay off the card. They have more than enough money to do so and have been the biggest beneficiaries' of government spending. But they already got theirs so keep hoping to pass the interest payments onto someone else's kids. Republicans believe refusal to pay will eventually give them an excuse to gut social safety nets. It's all just a game.

The federal deficit has never increased at an exponential rate. "Exponentially" is just a buzzword people use to emphasize their point.

Yes. The wealthy pressed the government in to issuing bonds instead of taxing wealth

And it goes up the most and the fastest when a Democrat is president. Mostly to Ukraine and not North Carolina or Hawaii.

Something else to thank the rich for!

You might be confusing deficit with debt.

When my wife received $800K in stock from her company, we called an investor friend for advice. He said even though he advises others how to choose mutual funds, he personally has 100% of his savings in government treasury bonds. No worrying, Guaranteed. He retired at age 55.

The part of this tweet that bothers me is the unrealistic rate of 8% on a US Treasury bond. Rates today are around 4% which apparently matches the long term average. Better advice would be to invest in a total stock market index fund. That way you're investing in the entire stock market as a whole rather than individual companies. And index funds have extremely low (or no) fees.
