@danwentzel unfortunately this article is pulling a switcheroo on you.

While the numbers it’s quoting may be accurate, the conclusion it draws is not supported. If you look closely, it’s an opinion piece which is advocating for two specific Republican bills that, based on the language in the article, would cut social welfare programs.

This is an example of manufacturing consent. Fear-mongering about national debt in order to justify a desired outcome.

@Haste whether you like/support the article - fact is: the dept has peaked - stated by other sources: as of March 2026, the U.S. national debt has surpassed $39 trillion. This is indeed just one more proof of Felon 47's incompetence.
