The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Remember when Pedo Don told the MAGA Outrage puppets, "I alone can fix it!"

LOLZ...

Congrats MAGA!
An American baby born today owes $376,000 in federal debt and unfunded entitlement liabilities, assuming the burden is evenly distributed.

And...
Net annual interest expenses have climbed to $1 trillion, consuming about 15% of total federal outlays.

And...
Servicing the national debt now costs the federal government more money than major budget categories like national defense or Medicare.

And...
The U.S. Treasury had to borrow over $2 trillion in 2026 so far.

And...
PCE inflation was still elevated, 3.7% last month, almost double the Fed's target.

And...
Q2 2026 GDP growth was down to 1.5% according to the second estimate released this morning.

Remember when our republican friends used to pretend to care about the national debt? I'm glad they dropped that ridiculous act.
