That being said; it was Obama that was hand-picked to change the trajectory and speed up the nation's downfall. Agenda21 was way behind and needed a kick boost. His installs were still running the country after T came to office. His DOJ shredded our entire justice system and now Biteme is doubling down on it.

Since Obama first took office, the Federal debt has gone from $10 trillion to $33 trillion.

Our nation’s finances are a mess.

I think a more complete approach would be to study deficits and debt from WWII onward, as the Depression and then WWII were a bit out of the ordinary. Debt has risen with every President save Truman (though it stayed pretty flat under Clinton, who turned a budget surplus over to Bush), but the better factor may be the national debt as a % of GDP. That figure has increased MASSIVELY under Reagan (who personally tripled the debt), Bush 2 and Obama (both doubled it), and Trump, double-digit increases all. Debt as a % of GDP went down under Clinton significantly.

I don't claim that one party or the other is better for the economy; these days both suck. But historically, debt has been under FAR better control when Democrats (at least until Obama) were President.

The way our economy creates cash is both astonishing and unprecedented. There is plenty of money to fix things that can be fixed with money. Perhaps if we started spending some of it in the USA rather than Ukraine. And I don't even want to think about the budgetary and overall economic costs of the coming Taiwan-China war. We will be a lot more involved in that one than even in Ukraine. Since Taiwan actually holds some strategic significance for us, as we want our computers to work.

Add another 43 years to that and yup.

After Wilson's first term the globalist bankers here and abroad could see victory ahead so they started their organizations, got their WWI, got the Fed Reserve, started the CFR and were thwarted when Wilson could not get the League of Nations ratified by the Senate but did celebrate his remaking of the European map.

Finally in 1931, made sure their man FDR would take the helm.

Yes, and I am really tired of the ruse. Major problem is the candidates are not selected by you and me but presented to us, the voters. Pick on they say!

It's not right and left. It's Haves and Have-Nots, the Borg vs. the people. You were on to something with the zillionaires needing to be asked for more.

Well, Elizabeth Warren did propose taking 2% of wealth in excess of $50 million annually.

Elizabeth will always be the "snake" after what she did to Bernie Sanders claiming he was against women.
