1. The US is morally bankrupt, yes.

Led by a crime syndicate.

Yes it will eventually face financial bankruptcy as well.

3. Well, if debt exceeds income...

... as experts have said has already happened, then, yeah, the national treasury is bankrupt. And the money that wasn't squandered on vanity projects has been stolen by the worst thing to happen to this country since the Civil War: President Donald J. Trump.
The Republican rank and file have a LOT to answer for, but the shot callers at the top, like Mitch McConnell and dozens of others, deserve to spend the rest of their days in an ICE detention center. The billionaires that instigated this horror show deserve even worse. Russell Vought and Nosferatu Miller should lead the way in chains.
Trump could never have done all the harm he so delightedly inflicted on the country if it wasn't for these rat fuckers and the despicable treachery of John Roberts and the rest of the Sinister Six defiling the Supreme Court.

4. There is enough blame to go around.

Courts, congress, corporations, legal profession, MAGAs, media.

They all folded like lawn chairs for a dictator.

And we are a democracy.

The buck stops with WE THE PEOPLE.

5. My fingers...

... would be bloody stumps before I could type all the names that deserve blame for this travesty, so I just mentioned some of my favorites.

[Irish_Dem]

6. I agree. The list of traitors is the largest in US history.

It would be far easier to list the good decent loyal Americans.

[GiqueCee]

7. Well, there's you and me...

... and... shoot, that's a pretty long list, too!

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes let's start with the important names like ours.

12. That's Inaccurate

Bankruptcy occurs when debt exceeds assets.
The total asset base, public & private, of the United States is nearly 10x the National Debt.
This "we're insolvent" theme has been a rock in my show for a couple weeks because it's wrong but it's being accepted as fact.
If debt exceeding revenue meant bankruptcy, 95+% of all homebuyers we're bankrupt the first several years of their mortgage. But, they weren't because that's not what defines bankruptcy.

2. All the debt would disappear if they reversed Trump's Billionaire Tax Cuts

9. We absolutely need to cut and balance budget starting with defense.

We are robbing every generate with debt. Our interest payment exceeds $1 trillion dollars and exceeds any singular line item. Clinton was the last president to have a balanced budget. This can’t continue without dire consequences.

10. Too much winning. Please Mr. President stop I'm sick of winning so much. Trump, We will keep on winning.

11. Yes, and we'd better be annexed to Russia, today. NOT

But that's the Trump agenda.

Destroy the US on Putin's behalf.

Get those (literally) damning videos in exchange.

Transactional.
