I can’t wait for Billions Biden, The DC parasite who selectively shoves billions of dollars to his friends and nothing for the others. For example, bailing out the LA wildfires but stiffing the people of North Carolina and Florida for hurricane/flood damage. And funding Ukraine while real wage growth is negative. And heavy investment in green energy, the ultimate fool’s errand.
Let’s start with declining real wage growth under Biden/Harris (blue line). Meanwhile, Federal government spending (dashed green line) continues to grow causing inflation.
Meanwhile, Biden/Harris and Congress left Trump with the largest budget deficit in history. Like endlessly funding Ukraine and illegal immigration.
Leaving American taxpayers with growing Federal debt of $36+ trillion. And unfunded liabilities of $226 trillion, over 6 times the national debt.
The US will hit its debt ceiling the day after President Trump is inaugurated, and Yellen said that the Treasury will launch “extraordinary measures” to stave off the threat of a national default. Bear in mind, Janet Yellen personally oversaw total debt increase by a staggering $15 trillion. Way to go, Janet!
I wonder how Trump’s Treasury secretary will handle this? At least better than Janet Yellen, I hope!

No need to appeal to anybody anymore. Just straight grifting and pumping his own crypto. DOJ/SEC won’t/can’t investigate him, Lifetime immunity. He’ll be dead in under a decade anyway. Nothing left to lose. We really are living in the craziest timeline ever. To the fucking moon.

@GestaltU https://x.com/GestaltU After Perestroika comes the ‘shock therapy’ stage of privatization, when aspiring oligarchs use their connection to P̶u̶t̶i̶n̶ Trump to accumulate control over state assets. Then comes the ‘Loans-For-Shares’ stage where the state – having no remaining credibility with financial markets – seeks ‘loans’ from aspiring oligarchs against remaining shares of state assets, so that the government can ‘default’ and the oligarchs can ‘legitimately’ seize the assets. Then P̶u̶t̶i̶n̶ Trump governs over a cabal of unimaginably wealthy crime-lords and lay waste to the global commons. Quote Matt Stoller @matthewstoller · 8h
