    Literally just last week my retired dad was talking about how important it is that the economy contracts and that we cut back so we can pay down the debt.

    Now he’s freaking out because he’s losing tons of money.

    Rich boomers are by far the dumbest people on the planet

      Frustratingly my retired parents lost $20k from their retirement account, but they don’t care and still support the tariffs.

        Well see if we stop spending money somehow that means there’s more money. So we have to kill the poor of today so we can save the poor of tomorrow. Or something. I don’t know I’m not a dunbass

      If the economy contracts, the tax revenue falls more than spending falls so debt goes up. Then the the unemployment benefits, food stamps, and stimulus checks go out and the debt goes up more.
