Interest rates will be higher over the next decade because of the GOP’s megabill and drive up borrowing costs even for the federal government, Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper predicted in a new report. The federal deficit will also increase by $4.1 trillion over a decade, according to the report.

After Trump leaves office, the debt is going to be a lot more than that. Trump is raiding approx. 1 billion from rebuilding our nuclear missle silos to refurbish his plush plane, not to mention 500 million to add on to the White House. That's all in 6 months. During Trump 1, he spent 8 trillion.

Well, that's no biggie—we spent $6.4 to $8 trillion on Iraq & Afghanistan and all we got was a dead terrorist in Pakistan and a loudmouth dictator and his kids killed. After 40+ years, if you still think the GOP is conservative, you're a fool.

They won't believe this. Republicans have been using fake math.

Higher interest rates over the next decade, wow. So do you think that over the next decade Americans would have forgotten about #epstein ? Has the FBI finished editing the files yet? And how about that list? The powerful wealthy men are truly untouchable. Have they freed Maxwell yet?

The more factors are considered the greater the total to the debt.

To think, of the rich and corporations paid just 20% of their income without a fight, this could be avoided.

Sadly,if interest rates do drop many Americans will end up in the hole with credit card debt and homes will go into foreclosure like they did in 2007-2008.

Isn't it wonderful, perfect even, that MAGA ensured the new tax structure gives billions in cuts to needy billionaires!

We pay more so billionaires and corporations can get tax breaks and government incentives and bailouts, and politicians were cheering this on. The breaking point is nigh upon them.
