    Stop electing republicans if you don’t like debt.

        The constant fretting about debt.

        We are always days away from some unspecified horror because the debt-to-GDP ratio is slightly higher than some other countries, yet data doesn’t support it. But we have to slash social spending. To prevent the thing from happening. Whatever it is.

        But there’s always money for military and tax cuts for millionaires.

        Hint: it’s racism. Or, perhaps, classism.
