If the gop is hellbent on being the party that has abandoned any semblance of fiscal responsibility (the same way they handed us NatSec as a result of DimSons fuckups in Iraq), then by God we should kick them and take off running with it.
Hell, I'd even be willing to eat a 1 or 2 % national sales tax, if it were law that every penny went to paying down the principal on the debt...fuck these dumbasses who are about to find out how badly trump and his GOP Majority fucked them.
