@yahoofinance: "We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem." 💸 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlined his economic blueprint at SMU Cox School of Business, arguing that containing federal spending paired with 3% annual GDP growth is the key to tackling national debt. #debt #nationaldebt #GDP #treasurysecretary
That 1.5% GDP growth should have out of debt real soon now

Republicans have been saying last 25 years. The massive taxcuts for the Rich will cause 6%-7% economic growth for ever. They even replaced the CBO chief because he wouldn't go along with it.
Of course the exact opposite is true, tax cuts for the Rich and corporates leads to LOWER economic growth and usually a recession

He doesn’t, he just knows the “news” will let him blatantly lie. If I buy 10 rolls Royce cars on credit and tell my wife we will grow out of the debt because I stopped buying clothes detergent that lie doesn’t work cause my wife isn’t a moron.

@afskullz :
Wouldn’t we need to grow at a faster pace than the interest on the debt to grow out of it?

Haha!!!! $2 trillion annual deficits PLUS $1 trillion in interest being added to $40 trillion. Not sure how 3% growth is going to fix this. We know the Fed always prints, hence the reason why we have the crazy inflation we have.
