We do, through our elected representatives in Congress. We're not going to have a referendum on line item budget spending by every federal agency.If you could, wouldn't you like some input on how all that money gets spent?
Do you believe the people that have been in charge were doing a good job?
You'd think he would be all in for condoms for Hamas, so they couldn't reproduce and would die out.Only his hardcore cult members who believe every lying word out of his perpetually lying pie-hole.
Like his false claim that we sent $100 million to Hamas for condoms. On par with his extremely racist lie that Haitians were eating peoples pets…

One day we will eat money, and drink money, even breathe money, and we will all feel rich. Only then will America be "Great Again" Obergruppenfürher Bing!It's not that hard though, social security medicaid and the military. The rest is pocket change. The best way is either cut the military, ss, or medicaid... or raise taxes. Usually the dems want to raise taxes and spend. Repubs want to cut and cut (except the military)... trump wants to buy develop greenland and gaza and lower taxes. It's all fake money anyways I don't really understand why people get worked up over fake money deficits. When we can't drink the water or breathe the air, we will know that we have over spent.
The credit must flow!endless supply!

Extending Trump Tax Cuts Would Add $4.6 Trillion to the Deficit, CBO Finds | U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget

It is interesting that the curve slows down during democrat years.... I agree with you that the line keeps going up, and I would argue that the fatal flaw is the notion that the economy must grow in perpetuity. Infinite growth is not not sustainable in a finite system. That is the deeper issue.It appears that the governments financial accountability has a built in flaw, regardless of who you choose to blame it on.

And the GOP has done a much better job of exploding our deficit in the last few decades. The lion share of our deficit acquired over the last 25 years has been due to the Bush and Trump tax cuts that went to their billionaire donor class and large coorperations.
