  1. This is reminiscent of the original framers of the constitution compromising on slavery. They were all dead before the country had to pay the ultimate price for that folly, so what did they care? Biden and most of his acolytes are already half brain dead, so what do they care about this obscene burden on future generations if they can get their sorry asses reelected to another few years on the public teat before they die?

    1. Or Trump and he GQP passing unpaid-for tax cuts to the wealthy in a similar amount. Both partis are guilty. Some of this is wise investment. Do most people buy a house with cash? Or a college education? Or businesses invest in CapEx with cash or do they sometimes/ often use debt? No different. Rates are nearly zero.
