Ahoy, matey! Be ye frettin' 'bout the treasure chest empty with that national debt? Arrr, let’s plunder smarter!

2024-11-21

Arrr, if the scallywags in Congress and the captain o' the ship (that be the president) be turnin' a blind eye to the piddlin' matters o' our national treasure, why should the good folk aboard this ship think our debts be a mighty storm brewin' that needs fixin'? Har har!

Ahoy mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn ‘bout the treasure known as national debt! If the scallywags in Congress be too timid to slice through the easy pickings, like them NPR subsidies, then why should landlubbers fret ‘bout the mighty debt? If they won’t shed a measly five pounds, why trust ‘em to toss a hundred overboard? Aye, young swabs be worryin’ ‘bout climate change, swearin’ it be an existential threat. But when it comes to the debt, they seem as unbothered as a barnacle on a ship’s hull!

As the debt sails toward a fearsome $36 trillion, and the interest be costin’ nearly $2 billion a day, ye’d think the crew would be panickin’. But alas, they be shrugging it off like it’s naught but a pesky sea gull! Even wise men like Stuart Butler lament that young’uns don’t bat an eye at this fiscal Kraken lurkin’ beneath the waves. Aye, they be more concerned with jobs and climate than the debt that’ll sink their ships someday.

So, if ye be alarmed by this ship of debt, ye best find a way to make the crew care, ‘cause Congress be too busy spendin’ on frivolous things to listen! Arrr, let the chips fall where they may, but mark me words: this debt be a storm brewin’ on the horizon!
