Mostly for the military and the national debt to pay for your wars. We've got to win so much that we get tired of winning, right? National debt consists mostly of military spending and interest on the debt, plus the Obama stimulus that Trump is benefiting from and which was made necessary by your guy Bush. Now we have to add a lot to the debt to help YOU PEOPLE (small and big business profits and "working Americans"), and for unemployment benefits, to pay for the Trump Virus.

The Social Security Trust Fund has already been spent and is currently being tapped to cover the shortfall between the wage earners and recipients. We are paying for China's virus not Trump's virus. See, you're still thinking like a Democrat too. Dude, the bulk of Obama's stimulus went to shoring up Obama's base and about a quarter went to fixing some roads. The Obama stimulus was probably the biggest political scam in US history. I take that back, it's probably tied with Obamacare and Trump-Russian collusion. I watched that dip shit playing his partisan politics during the funeral the other day.

There has never been a shortfall of the SS trust fund which has to be covered. The trust fund was spent for non-SS purposes such as war and debt payments incurred by war.

The Trump Virus is now being paid for by additional debt imposed on future generations and more bond holders. I sure hope I'm thinking like a Democrat. Democrats today think and feel and Republicans do neither. The biggest political scam is probably Trump's claim that he helped the economy, when it was all due to Obama's great stimulus. Obama's base was all the working people that it helped, including the government workers that the Tea Party later fired, causing the economic recovery to stall. That stall was just what the Republicans wanted so they could depose Obama, and Romney ran on the stall. It didn't work because Obama was a much better candidate than Romney. Scores were 19-2 vs. 4-10. Romney had no chance.

The Trump-Russian collusion was successfully covered up by destroying evidence, just as Mueller reported.

The highlight of Obama's eulogy to the hero John Lewis was his statement about how the Republicans are trying to suppress the vote now. The Republicans close polling places, purge voters and impose barriers so poor people don't vote. This was most appropriate, as moderate David Brooks said today on the Newshour. If Obama had paid tribute to the cause I had dedicated my life to, said Brooks, I would not mind at all! Obama in his eulogy just continued to do what Lewis had done his whole life: make some good trouble. Looks like it succeeded to the extent that it made you upset and eager to denounce it!
