The big beautiful bill that passed a few weeks ago go gave massive tax cuts to the rich while reducing social safety nets and increasing the deficit by 5 trillion. Both parties are hell bent on flying this country into a mountain. Maybe Elon's third party can do something.

  Yeah I'd rather have the country go full commie and nationalize everything he owns and strip him if citizenship and deport back to South Africa than his party "save us"..... At least we have some experience with communist governments and the path to recovery

    Do you honestly think the government would stop at His holdings once that floodgate is opened. Feinstein selling US post office properties via her Husband to friends and business partners with government oversight removed because of her status at Hundreds of millions below market value to while tacking on a 6% commission is how that would go. The further intimidation that any business that contributed to the ruling politica parties opponents would face the same result is probably the next result. This would be an extremely bad road to travel down

      I don't see another option. We already have the gov going down far worse roads of papers please and secret police. I at least want the some of these corrupt rich people to go down with the ship. I used to view the mcarthy era of communist purges as a bad thing that harmed many innocents. But if we are going to throw out due process and habeus corpus anyway? I want the MAGA and donors like musk hunted like any communist was. And their children and grandchildren on watchlists . Just like the commies.

“Both parties“ did not do this. A single party did this. Not acknowledging this is part of the problem.

    > The big beautiful bill that passed a few weeks ago go gave massive tax cuts to the rich while reducing social safety nets and increasing the deficit by 5 trillion. You changed the subject from the BBB to the overall debt. The BBB was not bipartisan legislation.

      Oh i see the issue. I agree with you BBB is 100% on the Repubs, making it one of if not the biggest deficit increase in history.. from a party who campaigns on fiscal responsibility.... The dems also increase the deficit but at least they dont lie about their intentions.
