They don’t actually care about the national debt. (They added ~$7 trillion to debt under Trump.) They just want to make your life worse.

This is Trump-supporting politician Solomon Peña (R-NM). He lost his election in 2022 and claimed the vote was “rigged.” He has just been arrested by a SWAT team for orchestrating 4 shootings at homes of Democratic officials.
