    I watched the recent video clip of Biden boasting how he lowered the deficit. He was so proud of himself. As if it fucking matters. "The deficit was a ginormous number! I lowered it by a trillion! Now it's that ginormous minus a trillion!"

    Voters do not give a fuck. But, yeah Joe - you've made substackers like Matthew Yglesias sexually excited. Great job. I'm sure that will matter in the midterms.

      To be clear, lowering the deficit during an emergency where people are suffering and government spending could fix some of the problems is a bad thing. The deficit should’ve grown in order to fucking do shit! The fact that the deficit went down is another indictment of Biden, not a thing to brag about.
