Time for my least favorite game... "Imagine a Democrat was in office!"

Dem in office:

Fox News: AHHHHHHHHH, THE DEBTTTTT!!!!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!! THE DEMOCRATS KILLED US!

Republican in office:

Fox News: Why are transgender people coming to take your hamburgers away? They hate America that's why! More on this and nothing else tonight.

Best the US can do with its money is give their Gestapo a bigger slush fund. Also they can pretend the giant $4.6 trillion budgetary hole caused by billionaire tax breaks costs the US $0. These are your US Republicans who claim to be more responsible with taxpayers' money.
