CITIZEN OPEN THREAD.
Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.
Carry on, CFP Nation.

I think if the design of the addition was more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing, there would be less backlash. I hate to see this used to add more regulations. Personally I find the design offensive and ugly. It could’ve been done in a much better way.

Yup. Others could learn from these comments…
I really don’t like the tariff dividend checks……..either all who paid taxes or no one should get them. We all own the debt , so we should all get a break somewhere along the line. That would be fairer, imo. Am I way off here?
I’m mixed on it too. Pay the debt off with it first is my first reaction. ( but 2k would get me to Michigan again next summer, I have to be honest about that ! 😂
Arranging deck chairs on a Titanic pile of debt. Pandering for votes … has my vote. I wonder what the timing should be though.
I read next year close to midterms.
Of course.
Hmmmmm, neither of you have convinced me its right, although I would like Dee to come home!
I’m not a fan. I think it should go to paying down rhe debt. The intention us good, but I think it’s going to cause more problems than it’s worth.
Agree.
Yup. Tariff dividends are still government handouts. No government handouts, please…
I agree. Pay down the debt.
Exactly. Republicans imitating Democrats with government handouts is not a good look!
It sure isn’t
Please no more Govt. hand outs it just causes inflation.

I like that idea-
Hisssy’s not just a pretty face – she’s one smart cookie!
Yes, credits are much preferable to cash hand outs!
