Half of that also occurred in 2020 alone as a direct result of the COVID Pandemic. Also, Biden's post-Pandemic deficits have been higher than than Trump's pre-Pandemic deficits.
Do you think that this justifies the government stealing from them?
Is it a fact that only white farmers having their land expropriated in South Africa?
The law allowing for government to steal privately owned land was passed by ANC expressly to increase the share of black land ownership.
They are not fooling anyone.BBC said:
I have some metal straws; reusable, and dishwashable. I don't recall how, why, or where I obtained them.
It's actually 7.8 trillion, and half of that occurred before the pandemic -- the 2017 tax cut was a result of the Repubs having unrestricted power. In other words, debt that didn't have to happen, but was incurred to please the donor class. Just like the situation this year; what's to stop them? Lots more debt on the way. Funny how the Repubs never go on about "How will you pay for that?" when they run the show.
Trump wants to slash regulations on business and personal freedom that Conservatives don't approve, but he wants more stringent regulation of personal freedom issues that Conservatives disapprove of. The usual old-fashioned double standard.
So, it is NOT A FACT that only white farmers are having their farmland appropriated, but that is a fear.
In California, plastic straws are only banned in full service restaurants, where a waiter takes your order and delivers your food. But, if you request a straw, they will give it to you. Fast food type places are exempt from the plastic straw ban. And yeah, California is notorious for these kinds of laws. I would be curious to see what percentage of plastic waste is from full service restaurant straws...I suspect its de minimus. I doubt the legislators who came up with this ban have any idea themselves, but it makes them feel good about their envirormental cred. I remember a few years back when we were in the beginning stages of a drought, one of their high profile solutions to saving water was to decree that restaurants not serve you a glass of water automatically with your meal. You had to request it. This was before they imposed any kind of restriction on residential landscape irrigation.

The MAGA folks are saying one thing, doing another, putting an end to what must be presumably woke nonsense. They aren't pausing funding to people, but are... stopping spending that is wasteful, that isn't... going back on agreements made by the Government that Trump appears to think he has no reason to fulfill. Granted, that is par for the course for him.article said:
According to this 0.5%. Not large... but of things that we could do without... I'd say it is easily expendable. At a restaurant, it is likely the only thing that isn't reused. There is really no reason for it either. Ending the use of straws at sit down restaurants doesn't solve the plastic problem, but it is a relatively harmless attempt at reducing plastics.
Ah so Republicans are against the free market after all.
Do you really think the free market is clamoring for the abomination that are paper straws?
I doubt they are clamoring for the government to tell them.
Yes, obviously. That's why the Trump administration has to impose regulations that force people to use plastic straws.
