US debt

What are the chances Trump is actually part of the deep state and is playing a role in all this? One thing that pisses me off about Trump is that he still doesn’t admit Covid was BS and the vax is deadly.

Respectfully, this simply is not correct. 
It was Trump's executive branch who demanded trillions in unpaid for covid spending - the legislative branch simple rubber stamped it.
Trump also flatly refused to have any conversation about means testing social security or raising the retirement age over time - even though some in Congress wanted that discussion.
He also refused to have any conversation about ObamaCare reforms- which is another debt bomb - even though his campaign promise was exactly the opposite. 
Currently, he is promising "no tax on tips".
And "no federal income tax on social security payments".
Anyone claiming Trump has not been a huge part of the debt issue is, at a minimum, completely ignoring the facts.  

Always speaking the truth.  Some things never change 

The issue is that someone has to be the President.

Who do you cast your vote for us you make balancing the budget your issue? Is Ron Paul running?

What unique situation happened that led Trump TO JOIN OTHERS in calling for the massive spending?  The reason that obscene amout of spending was asked for is that State and Local governments (primarily in Democrat controlled areas) were locking down the economy, forcibly closing businesses.  This left many people suddenly unemployed, with businesses unable to earn revenue to cover their expenses.  This wasn't just a normal recession -- it as intentionally caused by politicians for political reasons.  Was the spending program inefficient, biased toward political contributors, and ripe for fraud?  Of course it was.  That doesn't mean that some of the economic relief wasn't deserved to counter the damage government did.

The problem now is that Congress, both Dems and their RINO uniparty partners, have incorporated much of the Chi-Comm spending programs into the baseline budget.  Like every other government program, they never end.  What we need, as Elon and President Trump discussed, was a "government efficiency panel" combined with repealing the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.  That will give the ability to finally shrink, not just reduce the rate of growth, government spending.

As far as no tax on tips, social security, etc -- first, it's the people's money.  The government has no money, and Congress needs to learn to do with less money.  Second, we should once again return to a simplified tax scheme like we had under Ronald Reagan -- lower tax rates and massively reducing credits and deductions.  I doubt we'll see a "flat rate," but his 3 rates is about as close as we've seen in my lifetime.

The "both sides do it" argument is lazy and doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and I'm hearing a lot in discussions about inflation. Note this argument almost alwasy presents itself in defense of Democrats.

The CARES Act was genuinely bipartisan and signed by Trump. $2.2T
The American Recovry Act was passed without a single GOP vote and signed by Biden. $1.9T
The Infrastructure Act was passed with only two GOP votes and signed by Biden. $1.2T
The Green New Deal cum Inflation Reduction Act was passed without a single GOP vote and signed by Biden. $0.9T

That yields a scorecard of $2.2T for the GOP and $6.3T for the Democrats. We have a clear "winner" here.

Yes, a trillion here and a trillion there, soon you're talking about real money.

Of the two political parties, we have one that wants to spend and spend like crazy (see above) and another that professes it doesn't want to spend but lacks the backbone to resist. Given the choice, I will support the latter as it can potentially help strengthen a backbone, while support of the other only encourages them. That choice is clear. Or, I suppose one could choose to do nothing or support a party which will have no effect at all. Either way, that is a path for pussies, IMO.

We don' want a balanced budge. We need a target deficit of 3 to 4% of GdP to optimize the economy. These morons can't even stick to that.
