    I was just making a point on how both parties are corruptly working for Wall street rather than Main street, this is true of every president beyond Jimmy Carter. It is why America is in the shape that it is in now.

    People can argue over which side did more damage, or which side is more corrupt, etc. . The fact still remains that both parties brought us to this point, they did little to slow, halt or reverse the national debt. In fact, according to the graph posted above, our national debt has only skyrocketed in recent years.

    In reality our congressional politicians really aren't this freaking inept, they know what they are doing. Their greed to share in their donors wealth is putting our country in deep debt and our democracy in danger.

    Then instead of being $22T in the black in 2019, the U.S. government is $22T in the red, paying interest to Chinese creditor banks by selling them property and companies in the U.S.

    But hey, consider the silver lining this debt affords. We have the world's biggest rich class per capita, biggest prison class per capita, and we start all the wars in the world.
