@Remittancegirl The game is for Republicans to raise the debt out of sight so Democrats can't do much besides try to reduce the debt. It's not popular, the price of eggs is, so Democrats lose over and over again in this game they cannot win by following these rules.

@Remittancegirl Joe Biden "reducing the deficit" meanwhile fucking EVERYTHING became more and more expensive under him somehow at an even more rapid rate than normal. I've learned now that all this economic bullshit is literally meaningless to the average person. Let's raise the deficit to a quadrillion at this point I don't care put the tarrifs at 6 million percent it doesn't make a difference just crash the boomers out -
