$36.2 trillion on Jan 20, $38.4 trillion today, $89.38 billion added in the last week alone

I’m just going to leave this here.

Trump’s first budget began on October 1st. The receipts are in:
* October ’25 Federal spending was $689B, up roughly 18% ($105B) from October ’24.
*October ’25 tax receipts were $404B, up 24%, driven higher, in part, by $31B in tariff revenue.
* Deficit reduction? Lol. Of course not: October’s deficit was $284B in 2025, verses $257B in October 2024. That’s a one-year deficit increase of 10.5%

Trump has raised taxes, enormously, and managed to continue growing the deficits!

Not fake news.

I’ve consistently predicted the spending will never stop. Neither party is economically literate. And, because most voters don’t pay taxes and or are net beneficiaries of government spending, all of the incentives in our current system of government are for more spending.

This only ends in one way: hyperinflation & war.
