Hey Cable News Anchors - Stop Calling Republicans - Conservatives

The dollar is down 10% since Krasnov's 2nd reign, inflation is up which means that not only are things more expensive, our dollar can't buy as many things.

A freaking last quarter GDP of 0.7% is not only pathetic it is misleading, it should be worse because our GDP is being propped up by our deficit spending. Our debt to GDP is going out of site. Our GDP doesn't cover the interest on our debt.

The Supreme Court invalidated Krasnov's tariffs so all of that money that was collected should be paid back which will increase our debt and lower our GDP.

Whiskey Pete is asking for 200 billion more dollars for the war. When will the "conservative Republicans" speak out that we don't have the money?

Supply side economics was a big contributor to our fiscal problems, those huge tax cuts for the rich that are supposed to create jobs, but wait, those tax cuts were used by companies to install AI and replace workers. How much money does AI spend to grow the economy? How much tax does AI pay, I'm guessing they get tax breaks?

I need to go to therapy because I scream at the TV every time I hear the phrase, conservative Republican.
