What a coincidence! Good thing that after the DOGE cuts and tax increases through tariffs, the deficit has been closed. Huh, I'm seeing a deficit of $1.8T in 2025, same as the deficit of $1.8 in 2024, the gauge must be broken...

Edit: hold on, breaking news from 1776: "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the publick, or in some contrivance to raise prices" -Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
