Crumble

You have to love the GOP and their ever striving lie to being 'fiscal conservatives'. 

Adding $4 TRILLION to the deficit isn't enough. Adding $100 BILLION in "tariffs" isn't the win they think it is. Yes, they taxed those counties, who raised prices which U.S. citizens paid. So, "we" paid the tariffs. 

Now we have this. 

It took me a while to understand this chart. Red is just this year - 2025, month by month. January through June. 

The other 38 grey lines are from 1986-2024 with the same month by month overview. 

There is no way the GOP won't blame this on Pappy Joe. But in reality, even January when Biden was in office, the dollar was affected by the November 2024 news of the soon to be squatting tenant at 1600 Pennsylvania. 

I keep coming back to seeing David Gergen speak in 2010 saying China would pass us economically by 2027 and Japan by 2050.  This is tracking - and that was from 15 years ago. When asked, he wasn't sure the U.S. would even have a seat at the table G7 table. 

He also said that same night, 250 years is a long time for an empire. It wasn't a question of if it would collapse, but when. 

We are one year away from 250 years. I'm not sure we're gonna make it another 11 months before we completely crumble.

With them blaming Biden and 'the media' it shouldn't be too long before they put their sights on Epstein too - in order to, you know, put some distance between the paedo and the party (= BLOTUS). That would be just about as credible as their present targets - AND would be even more 'useful' , so why not?
