> The red ink has led to dire warnings from economists that the US now routinely runs annual deficits that were previously seen only during recessions

imagine what's going down after two more years of this

Iran War will still be happening at a BILLION dollars a day

gas will still be draining an extra BILLION dollars a day from everyone's pockets

how much healthcare and homes could have been bought with that

Theres noone in charge.

Algorithm for surviving "rats on a sinking ship":

1. Watch the program execute

2. Examine behavior patterns

3. Best guess where they point

4. Prepare for that, whatever that is.

5. Error correct and repeat step 1.

ps. If enough rats adopt the algorithm the ship won't sink.

It bought a whole ballroom!

I hope everyone is enjoying American Yanukovich, and looking forward to Amerimaidan to get rid of him.

$1 billion/day way the initial estimate, but it was never actually that high. CBO estimates $38B through August 1, or ~ $7B/month. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/62756

Ah, much better, then – I mean it’s not like the US is already in debt or anything.

exhausting the entire supply of Tomahawks and Patriot missiles will cost exponentially more than $38 billion to replace

CBO is not told about all the military bases destroyed in the middle-east, it's a secret by this administration, so they cannot expense that

and this is not going to end before February 2029

and there is still a billion dollars EVERY day being taken out of the US economy by excessive gas and diesel prices even for those that don't drive

I aced economics in college but I don't get how we are not in a recession

Everyone is putting gas and groceries on their credit cards now, how does that end?

		Please, please, please don’t use “exponentially” as a synonym for “a lot”.

		I’m with you. How many more quarters of declining savings before the music stops?
