The overwhelming National debt is on purpose.

48. I have talked to several MAGA dupes...

Their loyalty is disgusting, their aversion to the truth is marrow deep and they honestly are a lost cause. There is a significant percentage of them that are literally as dumb as a rock, but their personal identity and self-worth is tied up in being on the "winning team" and they have swallowed the hook, line and sinker on Trump's Bullshit claims and propaganda backstory.

The single dumbest human being to achieve such power in a millennia has accelerated the decline start all the way back in the late-70's response to Watergate and the installation of Ronnie Raygun to be our first pretend President (followed later by Shrub and Two Scoops). This really dates all the way back to the right-wing revulsion at the New Deal and FDR's decisions and policies. Now, a century later, they have successfully dragged the country to the edge of oblivion behind a madman just sick enough to shove us over the edge for kicks... well and truly fucked is an apt description indeed.
