$10 Trillion in Added US Debt Since 2001 Shows 'Bush and Trump Tax Cuts Broke Our Modern Tax Structure'
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-bush-tax-cuts-fuel-growing-deficits
How far before we break? This mindless 40 year mantra of blindly cutting taxes from the #GOP to get themselves elected produced our first post WWII debt which has been growing ever since. Zero successful attempts to change course cause having all that money for some is so nice. I see a bad end to this. 🔥🤔

Reuters- Drones and rockets targeted on Thursday evening the Ain al-Asad air base, which hosts American and other international forces in western Iraq, and multiple blasts were heard inside the base. Rockets have hit another military base hosting US forces near Baghdad's international airport, Iraqi police said.
Still watching shows about hauntings, and they're doing the clown motel in Tonopah, NV. We stopped in Tonopah on our way home from Portland when we were moving back to New Mexico.
We saw that motel, and all 3 of us were like NOPE NOPE NOPE and ended up staying in the Rodeway inn or something. Lmao.
Ghosts are fine. Clowns are not.
Haha
