@Michael Paradine  yes and trump is going to quash Obama care  and build a wall and repeal DF and many other things... so lets see where it flush's out.there are parts of DF I don't particularly care for.. but the parts about protecting sub prime borrowers and minority borrowers from preditors I support.

These clowns we elect spend money like it grows on trees......well they do print it, so I guess it kinda does...Bush added $5.8 T, (Although he did have the 9/11 wars)Obama $8.6 T (after calling Bush 'unpatriotic' for increasing the debt :-)Trump added $6.7 T, a good part of that due to CovidBiden, so far, is at $ 3.9 TThat's $25 TRILLION in 22 years....And you actually say that we don't spend trillions 'on the norm'....?

What the Onion didn't report was that was actually an Obama Look Alike, just like the movie "Vantage Point".
