The degree to which Dems actually CARE about the country whose democracy they claim to defend is directly related to how little they care about the consequences of their profligate spending.
In recent years, just the INTEREST on the national debt has been driving the total national debt higher at an ever-accelerating rate. Just in the past few years, we went from $32 Trillion (June 2023), and added another trillion to that total in September ’23, January ’24, July ’24, Nov ’24, August ’25, and most recently crossing the $38T threshold last month.
Meanwhile, at this exact moment, Democrat Senators are holding a gun to the heads of the American taxpayers. And the election results on Tuesday have only emboldened them.
Remember when Elon and his DOGE team were turned loose to look for wasteful spending? They were met with Democrat opposition at every turn. You could hardly name an example of waste fraud or abuse that they would not defend. Even clawing back unspent COVID dollars was a bridge too far for many Democrats.
Chuck Schumer holds the dubious distinction of forcing the two longest government shutdowns in history.
