And not a peep out of the party of “fiscal responsibility”.
Really says something about the Cons, doesn’t it.
And you all got stimulus cheques this time too, right?! Right…?
I’m still living off the last one. I couldn’t even imagine doubling such wealth.
We cut all those programs and jobs and the deficit still went up?
I wonder what happened to all that money they were saving by doing that?
Let them eat cake
Oh no, this train is not slowing down. It can’t. In fact, it has to speed up. At least, the currency debasement has to speed up.
Currency debasement is a great way to kill an empire. I wholeheartedly endorse it.
Kill the American Empire, so the MAGA empire can rise. Just like Weimar
And then China, Western Europe, and Russia invade the United States after it initiates massive, aggressive wars to bolster its flailing economy?
And then both sides launch nuclear weapons to end it all?
Is this the accelerationist argument?
Honestly the whole Weimar turning into Nazi Germany thing was kinda a fluke historically speaking. Usually the empire in question implodes, stagnates, or decentralizes usually a mix of atleast two, unless it’s Rome where they will do all three plus a secret forth option and come out the other side.
The Nazis frankly speaking had Alexandrian level plot armor, if anything had gone even slightly different they may have collapsed before even operation Barbarossa.
As much is it wouldn’t be fun to live through, it’s good in the long term

Then if Dems get in power suddenly Republicans will care about spending again. Everyone knows how this song and dance goes.
Wow, interest alone on the debt is now hitting $1trillion a year and expected to hit $14 trillion in 10 years!?
And this is despite Americans being taxed $350bn through trumps tarrifs.
Elon Musk is very quiet about this - wasn’t this why he went all in on DOGE?
He went for Doge to remove or incapacitate agencies inconveniencing his businesses, particularly SpaceX. The Doge Dumbasses wrecked everything else by vibe.
He really needs to put something around his neck to cover up his neckitalia. It’s really disgusting
That’s where the Russian dick is Putin
Trumpflation returns. Its the biggest, most beautiful type of inflation where rich people get richer and everyone else pays more.
Why did no one warn us that a failure of a businessman would utterly fail at the business of running an economy?
First a failed painter. Now a failed businessman. Who’s gonna be next?
Unstoppable debt spiral. Basically this, the more people come to realize it’s never being paid back, the faster it will grow, and the faster it grows, the more people realize it’s never being paid back. It doesn’t really mean anything at this point.
Even if that were true, you can’t escape the consequences
Is the U.S. at Risk of Hyperinflation?
There would need to be a significant and highly unlikely drop in production and a massive increase in circulating currency for hyperinflation to occur in the U.S.
You my think that paragraph on the us is encouraging, but consider today’s reality
- disruption caused by general tariffs government investments, and the government reneging on commitments is quite likely to cause a sudden drop in production. There is a lot of recession talk
- the current administration is trying to force the federal reserve to effectively print money, create a massive increase in circulating currency by cutting interest rates, total Y the opposite of what you need to do to control inflation
Hyperinflation would be so cool. I would pay off my student loans for the price of a dozen eggs
Surely there’d be no other downsides
But yeah inflation outpacing interest is mostly good for the borrower.
We can’t completely escape the consequences, but they can be mitigated. I don’t have a lot to lose. I don’t benefit from a 401k or social security. There’s a reason why investors are flocking to gold.
Something that needs to change is how real estate is seen as an investment. It has broken the quality of life increase in the US by gatekeeping real estate, drastically increasing cost of living, while building nothing new to preserve investment. When you make housing an investment, it becomes in your best interest to stop building more to reduce supply and preserve value.
