I think of it as $3.5 (now looking closer to 1.7) times 10¹²
Of course, unlike ol Al, I understand numbers, even really big ones, or small ones. And I understand RATIOS (omg) by which you can understand things in a piecemeal way. For instance $3.5 trillion is a tad more than $10,000 per person in the USA. Or about one sixth of the gross national product. Or a bit less than 4% of the world’s gross domestic product.
Why didn’t we grasp when Trump built up a $2.9 billion debt! The $3.5 trillion is the cost of the proposal without considering the revenue offset from tax increases. Although I don’t believe the plan will be a net zero, it will not net $3.5 billion in debt.
Only MAGAts would be stupid enough to believe the point this cartoon is trying to make.
The last Occupant accrued almost $8T in just 4 years, while this invests $3.5T over a period of 10 years, and results in dividends..
Seems Al is just as ignorant as Lisa when it comes to economics, but things work differently in the Alternate Universe. Goodwyn’s Law™. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrVLZwwZF6g
My father would sometimes express what my mother called “the shouldas,” i.e., “I shoulda bought stock x when it was at $$$.” China is a rapidly rising economy and has openly stated the goals of making Shanghai the world economic capital and the renminbi the global currency. Biden says that the USA needs to invest in order to stay on top. If we don’t, Americans are going to have the shouldas.
Conservatives are upset because they see that as money that should go into rich people’s and corporation’s pockets, instead of being “wasted” on people in the lower classes…

It’s easy, we just act as if it was military spending instead of spending money on infrastructure.

Keep it up and it may even reach what the republicans added to the deficit.

As usual Goodwin miss the point of why you spend that money

Trump Disciple Goodwyn shows off his math skills.
He is so proud of them, that they match his astonishing analysis skills.

If TFG hadn’t given close to the same amount away to the millionaires and billionaires in tax cuts we would not be having this discussion.

Where were you when Trump and the republicans ran up the bill?
And we got nothing for it at all.

Why is Goodwyn against building a better America?

Why do reporting agencies always use terms that make progressive programs sound bad. It is not a spending bill, it is an investment in America bill.
The republicans are not for a kill everyone they don’t like bill, they are for Defense spending.

It’s only 350 billion a year over ten years. I believe that is around half of the budget for the already outsized military complex.
