    I think more tax breaks for corporations and the 1% is the only way to fix this issue.

      Somehow this orange guy endorsing Trickle Down from Bush just seems apt.

      We have tried nothing and we already ran out of ideas!

        We tried tricked trickle down economics and, to a few, that’s been very successful.

      He cut a bunch of programs that saved a bunch of money and prevents expensive incidents. Hr saved virtually nothing compared to the us budget but it’ll be more expensive in the long run.

      That’s separate from increased spending and trade restrictions reducing national income

        Yeah, thankfully the insurance companies do long term climate projections, right?

          Some definitely do. But in the us that probably just means some sneaky terms so you’re not covered :/

      When reality hits Musk’s simplistic view of the world and the world doesn’t give in under the weight of his money like he’s used to.

    How much does the income from the tariffs compensate this?
