A final analysis

Steve Deace on Gab: 'Biggest federal budget expenditures as of 2022: Entitlements (Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, Social Security): 46% Income security (food stamps, welfare, etc.): 18% National Defense: 12% Discretionary Spending: 10% Interest: 8% That accounts for 94% of all the money the Feds spent in 2022. Cutting all foreign aid, ceasing earmarks, and eliminating "waste, fraud, and abuse" are popular talking points which I agree with. But even if done completely and perfectly wouldn't put a dent in the deficit. In other words, it's the stuff we want that drives deficits. We aren't victims. This is a reflection of who we are as a people, just as the people in office are as well.'

Steve Deace on Gab: 'This is a chart of your purchasing power with your US dollar comparing where it was pre and post-Covid. This chart perfectly symbolizes the two parties. Managed decline at an acceptable rate by the Republican, and then the white vertical line is Biden's inauguration day kicking that decline into high gear.'
