▪️Only in fantasy land has the deficit been slashed. In reality, the deficit is already over $1.6T for FY2023, more than double where it was at the same time last year. It could easily hit $2T by October.
▪️Meanwhile, treasury yields continue to surge. Over 5% for short term bills and well over 4% for 10 and 30 year bonds. With a national debt of almost $33T, that means just the interest payments will soon be close to $2T/yr in perpetuity. Which means the deficit will likely surge in the coming years no matter who’s in the White House.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
It’s really incredible they’re trying this approach after 4 years of posting “Ridin’ with Biden” memes.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
