  2. Raising the debt means we'll have to pay our bills. Defaulting means we won't pay our bills.

  4. If his lies cost them money, he'll be gone. It's no great mystery. Lou Dobbs, Dan Bongino, Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson's misinformation cost FOX millions so they fired them. Bill O'Reilly's sexual misconduct cost them millions in settlements. If your conduct costs your company money, you lose your job.

  5. Yes, of course. Trump isn't the only corrupt one, though. The overwhelming majority of Republicans are deeply corrupt now but there's also corruption in politics on the left. Being better than the worst is still bad.

  6. ​ @TheJoeyboots global economies often run in a deficit. Personal budgets and the world's largest economy are dissimilar. Reducing spending will decrease the deficit over time but defaulting will crash the economy, increase inflation and reduce revenue in the meantime. The fastest way to reduce the national deficit is responsible reductions in spending paired with raising taxes and slashing the defense budget. No politicians will suggest the latter two because it's unpopular so we'll continue on with escalation of our debt.
