Since Quest/Basil don't give a shit, I'll ask this of the board:
2019 federal budget: $4.4T
2024 federal budget: $6.8T
Why?

Perhaps the chart in the attached article will help you...note the blip starting in 2020...
...now think for a moment as to what happened during that period.
btw, it's okay to seek out answers on your own.

Oh, no, I know the answer, every emergency requires massive spending increases.
But when the emergency goes away, we never cut.
You not only don't do any research on your own, you can't read what's given to you...
...spending Decreased from it's high point of $7.94T, to $6.75T...and we incurred additional debt in interest payments...not offset by any increased taxes on corporations and the Top 1% of Americans who hold the vast majority of the nation's wealth.
Given your interest...maybe now would be a good time to keep an eye on how the U.S. economy performs under your chosen leader.
I'm asking why it didn't return to 2019 levels even with the additional interest.
The additional interest would put it at under 5 trillion I believe, which would be a much shorter putt to a balanced budget
Have you no capability of finding the answer on your own?…get on it, Cheeks…
btw, I've already got the answer...let's see what you come up with ;-)
I'm not allowed to ask questions? Seems kinda fascist.... .... ....

I already answered your first question...how let's see if you can stand on your own two feet...
...again...I've got the answer already to your second question...but you have to grow up and show you know how to fend for yourself...;-)

What question of yours did I not answer?
And are you actually seeking answers, I have to ask....
It’s way too much, no question.
A reasonable, rational process to bring spending WAY down would have received broad support. Like the Gore Commission, that worked with the GOP Congress to balance the budget. Raising taxes would have been necessary too.
But instead we got the freak and the incels.
Calling people you don't know anything about incels makes you look like a child.
Are you an incel, Tyrone?
Because any time someone even hints at keeping things the same they get gaslighted to a crazy extent
