everything he can, spending as much as he can in order to put us in serious debt so Democrats will be unable to do anything to benefit the American people. We'll be paying off republicans' debt.
Same old playbook. The Santa Claus theory of governance.

(5,094 posts)The 'tax the rich' slogan may seem an easy sell but targeting individuals does not yield as much as one might hope. If you tax the flows of money, be that to/from individuals or to/from big business you have a more sustainable and substantial yield. Individuals can move and offshore their money but folks making money in and off the US economy can't hide as easily. If every money transfer of say over $5 million is taxed at say 1/10 of 1%, you get huge revenue. Banks loaning from the Fed gets that tax, people buying large properties get hit, business buyouts, on and on. There would need to be rules that you don't get to break up big transfers into a bunch of sub $5 mil transfers and so on but it can be done.

Going into the 28 elections they will still have
President

Senate
SCOTUS
Most billionaires
They will stop at nothing to ensure the continuation of Project 2025.

Obama spent his first 4 years doing the same thing.
Clinton same thing.
GOP suck at almost everything in terms of governance. H Bush was the best, Trump was the worst. But all vastly worse than the worst Democratic president. Why the GOP wins the presidency is a mystery and due to very very stupid voting base.
The next president will inherit a disaster. Hopefully this time the shit hits the fan during Trump. Last time a lot of Trumps bad decisions didn't fuck us until Biden.
