Democrats blame Republicans as U.S. national debt tops $40T
The US gross national debt just crossed $40 trillion. Sure, let’s build a helicopter pad, a ballroom, paint statues gold, and keep going. 🙄
Rap Bastardz®64We need to keep reminding people that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the White House. Trump just totaled 1/3 of it without asking and without a plan.
catlady49ers.bsky.social23Republicans only “care” about the national debt when Dems are in power. 🙄
andrewsawyou.bsky.social20Call it what it is. The Donald J Trump $40 trillion National Debt.

Terace4Every second of every day he’s allowed to remain is the detriment of humanity, credibility as a nation, decency as citizens to the world & country!! Wake the 🤬Up America‼️ STOP THE TREASONOUS GOVERNMENT COUP‼️ @democraticparty.bsky.social @judiciarydems.senate.gov @democrats-judiciary.house.gov
Daniel Mellon Sr3Republicans aren’t the fiscal conservatives we’ve been told they are. One could say this nation elected, allowed the theft of our elections by Republican liars. Stealing all they can, for as long as ‘We The People’🇺🇸allow them to do so. Food supply is fucked. For this thank ICE’s contract holders😡
Tom Ruffen2The Bankruptcy President in action.
The national debt just hit $40 trillion, gas is $4 a gallon, personal bankruptcies are at an all-time high, mortgage rates are up, GDP growth is terrible, we are stuck in another endless Middle East conflict, but the Republican Party is focused on ballrooms and car races.
PhillipUSA81Republican claims… ”Moral majority, Party of Law and Order, Fiscal Conservatives.” Exposed as… Lies, Lies, Lies.
Chevron51Don't worry everybody It's all going according to plan from a long time ago Everything will be fine as long as you just trust the government bsky.app/profile/lach...
mqb2766.bsky.social16Will they be driving through the reflecting pool?
Judy Weston11In my state, gas is $5.50+/- and that’s at Costco.
ravenalessia.bsky.social11The US debt-to-GDP ratio is currently 141%. We owe more than the entire US economy produces in a year. It is the highest level since World War II, when it peaked at 119% in 1945. Trump’s Republican enablers are to blame for letting him torch our economy to the ground. Vote them out!
Regina Schrambling 8Good argument for DC statehood. There can’t be reparations enough for that city’s suffering.
Bryan Blessed9It's totally understandable that Americans are freaking out about petrol costing *checks notes* €0.89 (£0.76) a litre?!
𝙿𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚕𝚊 𝙳𝚘𝚕𝚋𝚢3He’s throwing parties for himself and the taxpayer is paying for them
Antonio Bricio3Commodus and Galtieri would approve.
SpecTater2Brought to you by a man who can’t drive.
MoeBettaOne2If Velveeta Corleone is so proud of himself why does he keep posting AI slop of himself looking so much better than he does. Just be honest, He's an obese orange slovenly balding old man. There is nothing sexy about him. Quit making shit up.
DrKR2Besides all this, the Grindr Republicans are pronouncing it wrong.
REPUBLICANS: "For our next trick, we're going to drive up the national debt past $40 trillion—without providing you with *any* bullet trains, universal healthcare, or bringing down the prices of ANYTHING. You're welcome!"
ironrangekats.bsky.social17“…and it’s all Biden’s fault!”
PhillipUSA13The only things Republicans are good at is making the rich, richer. And protecting and supporting rapists and pedophiles.
iamfree87.bsky.social9The national debt in all of Europe is roughly $15 billion and they have an exceptional train system, universal health care, day care, pesticide free food, and on and on. A FOX News host threatened to move to Europe if AOC won the presidency! Go figure.
Joel Klebanoff 🇨🇦5True, but, on the plus side, Americans get a great reflecting pool to look at. Oh. Wait. Never mind.
And then in two years they'll tell the Democrats to fix it
notidefix.bsky.social4it's almost like the increase in US debt.... ....is directly related to the increase in number of $billionaires p.s. does Trump know that debt has a "b" in it...???
Capt.Ed3Why would #Alaska think re-electing Sullivan made sense?
Tina Says #ResistFascism2This is all tax cuts for the billionaires and military goodies/grifting for the defense oligarchs. Keep that in mind.
GunnyFustercluck2Only HE could do that!
Matthew Shirts2And we will speed up climate change, world wide
Bessent downplays the national debt: "There's nothing magic about the $40 trillion number. We can grow our way out of that."
Mr Blifil94Um...OK then...proceed with the growth forthwith please...
Ralf W79These exact same assholes, the moment a Democrat is president: "OH MY GOD! The deficit is KILLING US! Corporate America will grind to a halt. Everything is TERRIBLE!"
Marly Marie47It will matter to all of these people downplaying it once a dem is in charge
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎24Leaving it to the next president--a DEMOCRAT--to save our asses once again.
Wedge Antilles 🇨🇴🇺🇸17Republicans couldn't care less about the national debt being $40,000,000,000,000. Mark their words. It's no big deal.
PrinceHALbert16The only problem with "growing our way out of it" is that they just increase spending and borrow more.
Dmitry Grozoubinski64The Trump administration is so unfathomably lucky their reign coincided with the AI Boom/Bubble. - Huge capex spending that's immune to their bad policies - Massively inflated stock market - And now they can just imagine AGI will deliver 300% GDP growth any day now so the debt doesn't matter.
Sven-Erik Volberg40US 30y bonds are at 5,5%, GDP growth was 1,5%. Can someone with better math skills help me out, how does the maths work?
Rep. Brendan Boyle20Whenever there's a Republican in the White House, the debt magically isn't a problem for the GOP. The truth is, Secretary Bessent here will never truly care about the debt, because he and his billionaire friends are enjoying historic tax breaks on the American taxpayer's dime.
Dimitri Drekonja, MD, MS17There was once a case for saying the national debt wasn’t a huge problem- but that REQUIRED the US being viewed as the most stable country in the world to invest in We are no longer that place. Anti-science. Corrupt justice system. Government demanding bribes. Debt matters when investment dries up🤷🏻♂️
Howard A. Rodman12Kalshi, what’s the over/under about whether the deficit becomes our largest national concern the day after a Democrat gets elected?
Dave Long5Not with you & Trump around.
Rose❤️🇨🇦Part owner of Canada.🇨🇦❤️4Scott Bessent just got finished saying he can't account for the spike in oil... Now this. He is unqualified for this position.
Vern McCandlish4The real value of having democrats control at least one branch of government, republicans will start to care about the national debt again.
Brian4So, WE are borrowing at a 5.2% interest rate for 1.5% GDP growth last quarter. Gotta mind that gap, Scotty Too Hottie.
Dan Murphy4I am not making this up and the crazy pills are really kicking in. bsky.app/profile/atru...
TRAGIC FACTS: The average American will earn a total of 2 million dollars in their lifetime. It only takes 22 seconds for Trump's $40 trillion national debt to accrue 2 million dollars in interest.
wozvillenation.bsky.social540 years of work blown in 22 seconds.
ExactlySorta5We're forever in his debt
Michael4With the rubber stamp from the GOP- the party of fiscal conservatives.
mark3how long does it take for trump to syphon out 2 million from the gov. coffers which is what's actually happening and nobody seems to care that's he's literally looting the govt
Insane-n-membrane1"average American" don't think so
[sees national debt] dang US government lay off the avocado toasts already
Ygrene16did you finance a car for like 1.9 million months or something
Dag.240 trillion here and 40 trillion there, and soon you are talking about real money.
4th Estate2It needs to stop using Starbucks for coffee, too. Maybe make more $3 meals using a tortilla, a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, and one other thing instead of eating out so much.
Gas above $4/gal. National debt at $40 trillion. Another endless war in the Middle East. The FDA gutted and foods being recalled every day. And this is what Donald Trump is focused on.
Whouis Ticlese5Homie we can send our own strongly worded letters. You actually had leverage to stop this and exchanged it for nothing.
Solextre4Senator Ossoff is leading the way. Every Democratic representative should stand up and speak: first supporting Ossoff, second castigating Trump, and finally calling for Trump's immediate resignation. Democrats who merely stand on the sidelines and complain are failing in their duty to the country.
tummy-updates.bsky.social2what are YOU focused on
The lunatics have taken over the asylum2This u as well @schumer.senate.gov since u somehow amassed 75M on a senators salary, really. Ya fuckin crook no different than Trump and the Rs. Someone needs to run against ya corrupt inept stealing insider trading ass. Someone needs to investigate your corruption @aoc.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov
You should be in front of the people not hiding behind social media. If you cannot face the people, you should step down. Let someone take the reigns who isn't afraid to 1) take on Republicans and buck the system and 2) answer for your actions and decisions in person; not on The View.
quesadilla1Democrats caved twice to collaborate with trump, you are to blame for this as well.
Megaholt 𓅃5What have *YOU* done to stop him, Chuck?
I'mTheProblemIt'sMe3I have no problem with this message and I also believe absolutely that _THIS IS NOT THE MESSAGE OF THE SENATE MINOROTY LEADER_. Leave the cutesy messages to others. Tell us: _what you are doing_ _what you plan to do_ to stop the destruction of this nation. Plenty of others to yak it up (better)
It's hard to grow our way out of debt when Trump is wasting millions of dollars gold-plating statues and wrecking national monuments and billions of dollars fighting an illegal war while strangling our economy with stupid tariffs and corrupt quid pro quo with corporations and gross incompetence.
I'm Ron. Pissed off NYer. ☑2Total arrogant moron. I advise people to listen to NOTHING that man says.
The only person stupider than Bessent is anyone that hires him, much listens to anything he says after he's kicked to the curb.
mags69.bsky.social1😱😱😱his voice !! Made 100x worse with his idiotic lies
wileynann.bsky.social1and the effing GOP cowards in Congress just let him do it, when they have the power to stop it all.
Doug Hammond4The Secretary of Snark's boss is fully responsible for almost a third of the $40T deficit through tax cuts, rampant mismanagement and spending money like they have a printing press for money. Oh wait, they do.
RA Walker2If nothing else proves the GOP lack of fiscal restraint, WE HAVE THE NUMBERS. 😳 There is no way to explain nonsense like "let's spend billions to redesign US aircraft carriers so they look like what Trump wants from _Victory at Sea_." Congress has got to cut the $$$ spigot.
Trump’s party screamed about $21T debt, but with him nearly doubling it to $40T thanks to tax cuts, their fiscal outrage mysteriously vanished.
EASTMAN1As the national debt hits 40 TRILLION, Donald Trump does not want to hear about “AFFORDABILITY.” His stupidity and complete disconnect from reality are making the entire nation suffer. This pathetic excuse for a human being should be removed from office before he can do any further damage.
Canadian 🇨🇦1Do as we say not as we do is the mantra of the hypocrites
sajonw.bsky.social1Its disgusting and outrageous we are going to get 75% of SSI well when I retire 10 years
