It’s a pearly but Elon is priming the pump.

Republicans are in power. National debt is a good thing. The US can never go bankrupt because we can print money. Print money and people can go to work, oligarchs can make money, the country is strong. Don’t worry, run up the debt!

Democrats come to power? The national debt is out of control! Fix it! Reduce spending dammit! It’s the only way! We wouldn’t be in this mess if Biden, Obama, DEI, AOC!!!
