because the assholes are focused on coddling the rich, overspending on the military with absolutely no oversight, and cutting everything that benefits human beings, including fixing the infrastructure.

So yes, eventually the bond market will implode, but it won't be from the deficits, alone. It will implode because the rest of the world will simply vote "mo confidence" im our short sighted and stupid fiscal policies and start dumping their treasury bonds.

Stupidly applied blanket tariffs, overspending on the military with few cost containment measures, and making sure billionaires don't have to pay those nasty old taxes will do that. The deficits themselves are only part of the problem. The main part of the problem is Republican and "fiscal conservative" blindness, stupidity, and cruelty/
