“Five years ago, we could balance our budget with a freeze in spending without cutting anything. Since then, our debt has skyrocketed to $30 trillion with $2 trillion just from this past year,” said Dr. Paul.

GOP leader proposes huge new frivolous spending to celebrate the end of all conservative concern about spending and debt. Genius! The semiquincentenial celebration! Did the MAGA fuckwits ever get their glorious parade? Perfect fit with the whole bread-circuses-fascism theme.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. That graph really doesn't show how the R party has cranked up the deficit by shoveling money at the rich, and how the rest of the country has gone into debt to pay for it.

If Republicans cared about the deficit, they’d vote Democrat for president.
