Trump’s Ballroom is Just America’s $38 Trillion Distraction
(00:00.578)
A little East Wing wake up call. Yeah, I’m talking the East Wing of the White House. It’s got everyone’s underwear in a bunch, that’s for sure. And hey, hey, it’s all the rage. All the rage on the cable networks as well on all of the conservative talkers out there as well. is your little prisoners right to do this and.
You know, it’s not a problem. And then you got, you know, the left freaking out. And I watched this stuff. And again, I know I’m starting to sound like or look like Abe Simpson, you know, old man yelling at a cloud. Would you people wake the hell
Did you understand how nonsensical this is? I’d be quite honest with I don’t give a damn what he does. Damn right. I really don’t care. It’s the people’s house. Whatever, man. I don’t care. I really don’t. Why do you care? it’s our history. know, people, not going to have history. How many stories did you see this past week about our national debt?
topping $38 trillion. $38 trillion. We just passed $37 trillion two months ago. We’re now at $38 trillion. Yeah, we were at $34 trillion. Let me get the numbers here. We were at $34 trillion in January of 2024. $35 trillion.
in July of 2024, $36 trillion since November of 2024.
(01:54.71)
Yeah, just let you know what we’re paying an interest. Interest payments on the nation’s debt are forecast to rise from four trillion over the past decade. Past decade, we basically flushed $4 trillion down the toilet. Why does it bother me? Well, you know, I pay taxes.
It’s now going to be $14 trillion over the next 10 years.
But yeah, we’re worried about Trump and his construction project. don’t, I don’t give a damn.
I know the media loves it because again, it gets the people going. Let’s get people riled up over things that really, quite frankly, don’t matter. You know, this is the thing I’ve talked about the word priority. Yeah, and again, this is the media’s fault too. But again, you know, they’re there to, you know, juice their ratings and their producers and the powers that they want to talk about nonsense like this. If they actually really gave a damn, the slightest bit of a damn about the country, they would be
talking about things that are truly important. National debt. How about the fact that we’ve got 42 million Americans, here’s another big story, okay? 42 million Americans right now on food stamps. 42 million Americans on food stamps, estimated to be around 83 to 84 million on Medicaid.
(03:34.83)
I know the stories. Let’s get all worried about Trump and the East Wing. This is not the slightest bit more important. Let’s get the inflation number came out today. Inflation, 3%.
3%, again, the Fed’s supposed to get it down to 2, but the underlying jobs numbers are very, very weak and they’re gonna cut rates and everybody applauded this because it wasn’t as bad as everyone thought it was gonna be. We shall see. Here the price changes, okay, year over year. September CPI from last September. Gas and utilities are up 11.7%, electricity is up 5.1%.
Used cars up 5.1%, fuel oil up 4.1%, medical care up 3.9%, food away from home 3.7%, shelter up 3.6%, food at home up 2.7%, transportation up 2.5%, new cars up 0.8%, gasoline is actually down 0.5%. And this is just tacked on to all of the price increases that we’ve seen during the Biden years.
are not these things more important than Trump’s? Again, I don’t know what the hell, I think it’s stupid, quite frankly. We don’t need a freaking, I don’t know how many, a massive ballroom. How often are they gonna use that space for crying out loud? Might as well put an indoor hockey arena for crying. Does that make any sense to me? But whatever, I could care less. Do what you wanna do, okay?
He’s there now, he wants to put gold trim up everywhere, I don’t care. These things I care about, these are the things that you should care about. This is the problem, I wanna distract you from the things that are actually really important to really dumb stuff. Hey, everybody, wake up. Watchdogonwallstreet.com.
