Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Parkbandit]

I looked it up on Google and saw a big number and that must be our debt!!! -PB who knows absolutely nothing about our debt.

Our debt is actually closer to 22-23T, not 31.5T, but I wouldn’t expect you to understand that because you have zero actual knowledge in this field.

You're right.. you probably know a great deal more than I do about living in debt.. given that I have been debt free since I was in my mid 30's.

As far as the government debt goes, we are 22T in debt, but our government has made future commitments to the additional 9 trillion, which brings the actual total of US debt to 31.5 trillion.

If you actually knew how our economy ran, you would understand that the deficit doesn’t have as big of an impact as you think it does.

You do know the difference between "deficit" and "debt" right? No one is even talking about deficit here.

Those two terms are two different things, just an FYI.

But I’m sure your plumber degree, and massive amounts of google searches makes you an expert.

I know you really look down on plumbers or anyone else that works for a living.. but there is no such thing as a "plumber degree"

I haven't been called a plumber since the last retard did it. That's 2 for 2 now.

It’s funny how you are crying about paying the IRS $80bln over 10 years, when the main purpose of this money is to close the $600 billion a year tax gap. I repeat $600 billion a year.

If the IRS recovers just 1.5% of that a year, it’ll paid off its 80bln and some. If you think our debt is so out of control, you should be all for this money going to the IRS. This just proves you have no clue what you are talking about.

I wish I had a dollar for every time the US government said they just need x number of dollars more.. and they would save us so much money in the long run.

I’m sure someone like SP who has a financial background, understands.

I'm sure SP knows the difference between deficit and debt too... probably because he's not retarded.

I expect so little from you.. and you never fail to live up to that.

[Parkbandit]

Yeah, it was the stupidest fucking post he’s ever made, and he’s made a lot.

Imagine claiming you are in the financial sector.. and you are confused about "debt" and "deficit"....

I'm just going to chalk it up to you being your retarded self.

Because of the difference between Public Debt and Intragovernmental Debt which is approximately 8 trillion of the overall total number. Intragovernmental debt is in reality an asset that was loaned in between branches, mostly money that's sitting in the Social Security and Medicare Trusts. The actual public national debt is the only part that could be defaulted upon.

Texas, home of the free to murder your neighbors with assault-style rifles. He'll probably get hailed a hero for 'standing his ground' against the neighbor family who were trying to suppress his freedom to bear arms.

5 deaths on Biden's hands... care to revise your previous statement?

No one has even talked about only the part of the debt that could be defaulted on.

DC has a spending other people's money problem... and God forbid they stop spending like drunken sailors at a strip club. No, they are looking at the revenue side to "fix" their spending problem.

SPOILER: It's not a revenue problem, it's a spending problem.

Seran and the liberal media in this country:

[Methais]

Yes, government is great. Requiring folks to pay taxes on the income they'd normally fraudulently hide is a great way to help balance the budget.

Spoken like a true welfare addict.

[Methais]

The guns are the problem, not the nationality, skin color, ethnicity, or background of the shooter. No guns means nothing to shoot.

No person pulling the trigger = no bullets flying.

Ban people. Starting with you.

Your mistrust of the government and facts has no actual bearing on the veracity of the statement.

Also Seran: "I am the resistance!"
