These guys are so bad at managing money they should just choose a new color to describe the deficit under Republican leadership.
riddmkidd
The framing of that picture is evil.

No worries, we'll just reverse the massive givaway to billionaires you fuckos passed. Problem solved.
Higure
The federal reserve can just make money. They did a decade ago during the financial crisis then. It didn't even lead to massive inflation.

Dem's should hang a poster with deficit numbers by year and who was in power in the senate. Every time the Rep bring it up have it light up.
shweatyPIE
Yeah time to raise corporate tax ,they can help pay for deficit considering the profits made during pandemic, only corps showing profit.
Cthulhuchooseyou
These people have zero legitimacy left.
JangJangles
They don't need legitimacy if they still have the minds of 70 million idiots.
TiredOfTheBS
The only answer is “It’ll pay for itself with economic growth”
PeeterGrant
All the more reason to ignore them.
Barkinsons
Now they can retrieve Paul Ryan from his dungeon and let him explain to us why a deficit is bad and the president can't spend money

Give him a minute to dust off a copy of one of his Ayn Rand novels

lowkeylives
False! They left the ivory...not believable
IjustWannaSaveFavs
The "two" parties pretend to care about the deficit only when the other one's in power. Otherwise money printer go brrrrrr
DrumLegend001
Of course it is. It’s what they do every time they take power run up the deficit carelessly then blame the first democrat who takes office
bizzybanana
Guess we better cut military spending ?
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
If America ever again cuts military spending in any significant way I will eat my own hat. They'll sooner let the entire population starve.
DerivativeWhy
Everyone needs to read - "The Deficit Myth". It's an incredible book and really opened my eyes. Both parties use this lie to suit them

Two Santa Clauses Theory of Jude Wanniski (a republican strategist from the 70s). Read about it.

Cool, then it's time to raise taxes on the wealthy.
oblimo
Blame Grover Norquist. He decided, in elementary school, that raising any taxes is always bad. And the GOP went with it. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Let’s make Mitch McConnell use the money he robbed from us to pay back the deficit.
LizardEnterprises
It wont be nearly enough. We should also start selling off his organs.
Event416
Also Mitch has to live in a 50+year old mobile home for the rest of his day, let’s make that his punishment. Or a firing squad.
cainofdreaming
Why mobile home, when there are perfectly good chicken coops in ICE facilities?
TheMeatIncident
spend all the shit on trump, plunge us beyond the red, now you dont want to spend a bit to fix it
ace5762
Good thing we can just ignore them now.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Yes? If your party's platform is 'government bad', why the fuck would you bother to fix anything? The morons keep voting for you anyway.
CyanideBreathMint
That's about right.
Robtheshaman
I dont care what they have to say. After the past 4 years, they dont need to talk anymore.
WhatTheHellHero
Even if what "they" (I'm assuming Republicans) say is BS, at least keeping the conversation open can foster good will in local voters.
Robtheshaman
Imma stop you right there. Cuz i distinctly remember being told to "fuck my feelings" for 4 years. Karmas a bitch
WhatTheHellHero
I understand that, but simply ignoring that the base voters don't have grievances is how the US got there in the first place, IMO.
Robtheshaman
Youre not wrong, inclusivity is important at this juncture. However, until consequences happen for the people that pushed this /1
Robtheshaman
Shit for 4 years happens. I wont stop being angry. Its absurd that repubs want unity after the horseshit they slung for 4 years
filben7
I dont care what they have to say. After the past 45 years, they dont need to talk anymore. FTFY
Robtheshaman
Well id be negative age so i cant agree with you
AngryGraphicDesigner
They’ve overplayed this card. Now they just sound like the teacher in Peanuts movies.
Crowlands
You'd have to be Pretty fuckin' stupid to believe Republican talking points... Which... Explains how they get so many votes.
opetchas
They've said a lot of things that sound like the Peanuts teacher. I no longer believe them about anything
GaetanBamphous
Lol, plenty of idiots still will repeat it and act like assholes about it.
PreciousPotato
And they all will blame Biden, just like they used to blame Obama for Bush’s deficit back then.
LawmanLata
They dont have to say anything, just fillibuster. They only thing stopping that from happening is the ability to feel ashamed.
HUGHgReaction
Lol
rukeman
They don't sound that smart.
jrntn
Why does so many seriously still believe that THIS time, people will surely see through the obvious lying? It literally NEVER HAPPENS
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Kind of like the myth that republicans are good for the economy and Dems are bad. As if it isn’t almost the exact opposite.
honal
The day after the election 2 people I work with were complaining about "I hope all the people that voted for Biden enjoy there higher taxes"
honal

TypoNinja
To us maybe. You forget that 70 million Americans still eat that shit up.
Miller16of16
They have zero credibility on this subject.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
That's certainly stopped them so many times before.
T0go
What subjects does the modern GOP have any credibility on now that it's firmly the anti-fact party?
Miller16of16
Approx zero, except for how to radicalize idiots.
ICreatedU
Wait, is this a real cover of a real conservative magazine?? Could be the onion really... So cynical. What am I missing?
GuyLuomo
Real cover. Real magazine.
ICreatedU
Well color me damn!
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
These are the "I'm not a Republican, I'm a conservative" team. After all Repubs are a conservative party about as much as Dems are leftist.
ICreatedU
Interesting! Thx
PhloydPhan
I'll take 'Safest Predictions to Make after the 2020 Election' for $500, Ken.
Thekindofkindlyman
Already hearing them say “you won’t be able to have a God once that Godless man takes office.” They choose what to be upset about
samanthadlcruz
i bet they'll suddenly start demanding rigourous scrutiny of supreme court nominees too.
dietcokeyo
$500? That’s waaaay too low
Quizz25S
Everything is the democrats' fault including the last 4 years, and especially 2020.
orbitn
I'm really tired of us having to rebut everything they come out with. If it's a flat out manipulation, we should just collectively say >
orbitn
"no, we're not playing with you anymore." and just treat them like the bratty children they are.
CrypticalEnvelopement
Sadly the stimulus packages gave them "permission" to start caring about it again, that's going to be their excuse
ImFunnierThanYou
I don't like you...But I don't think it's your fault.
auztin78
I predict taxing the wealthy is not the answer for them either.
DrBourbonTheOriginal
This really hurt. I appreciate you making it real but it still hurt.
lowerider777
Oh man, it just hit me won't be saying "Alex" for that line anymore... If you need me I'll be in the corner crying
texasfoodman
No I’m going to still say Alex.
TheNightman53
Fuckin A!
DarthFluffyKittens
Won't be saying Ken either. Wasn't he kicked?
ShtankyRichards
Don’t know about that but I’ve been wondering if it’s going to be a revolving door of champs for at least a season. Could be fun.
kirbysdead
They filmed 30 episodes with him as host. As far as I know ...he’s been a good stand in, From what I’ve been reading.
smashpro1
It was just temporary. They're going to be trying a bunch of different ones, the most unexpected one probably being Aaron Rodgers.
Mobiusflobius
“Alex” will ALWAYS be acceptable. If not the preferred response.
Mobiusflobius
What I meant to say is “What is the acceptable ending for a Jeopardy pun?”, Alex. ???
