We cut all those programs and jobs and the deficit still went up?
I wonder what happened to all that money they were saving by doing that?

Trump loves debt
Especially when someone else has to pay for it
Damn, those Republicans are great at managing the government's finances.*
*This a scarstic comment
I'm sure you wanted to write sarcastic but I can imagine the happenings recently may have left some scars.
Let them eat cake 
He was president during the pandemic
And not a peep out of the party of "fiscal responsibility".
Really says something about the Cons, doesn't it.
Yeah they've been pushing that false narrative while being the reason we keep increasing our spending while also cutting revenue for DECADES.
And you all got stimulus cheques this time too, right?! Right..?
I'm still living off the last one. I couldn't even imagine doubling such wealth.
$400 check, and $400k in PPP loans that I will totally repay (if I have to)

You'd have to go back to the 1800s for that to even have a chance at being slightly true.
Oh no, this train is not slowing down. It can't. In fact, it has to speed up. At least, the currency debasement has to speed up.
Currency debasement is a great way to kill an empire. I wholeheartedly endorse it.
Kill the American Empire, so the MAGA empire can rise. Just like Weimar
When this baby hits 88 you're gonna see some serious shit
Oh don't worry, this administration will make sure we beat the previous record with a new pandemic.

Unstoppable debt spiral. Basically this, the more people come to realize it's never being paid back, the faster it will grow, and the faster it grows, the more people realize it's never being paid back. It doesn't really mean anything at this point.
Even if that were true, you can’t escape the consequences
Is the U.S. at Risk of Hyperinflation?
There would need to be a significant and highly unlikely drop in production and a massive increase in circulating currency for hyperinflation to occur in the U.S.
You my think that paragraph on the us is encouraging, but consider today’s reality
- disruption caused by general tariffs government investments, and the government reneging on commitments is quite likely to cause a sudden drop in production. There is a lot of recession talk
- the current administration is trying to force the federal reserve to effectively print money, create a massive increase in circulating currency by cutting interest rates, total Y the opposite of what you need to do to control inflation
Susan Collins is very concerned.
And bonds keep going up
