Republicans no longer care about debt or family values

Historically, Republicans have been very vocal about our national debt problem, only when Democrats are in control. And the need for 'family values'? I don't hear anything about that now. Here's why: President Donald Trump, since his inauguration, has increased the national debt by $3.7 trillion. It's now over $40 trillion. God only knows what that debt will increase to by the end of his tenure. There also can be no Republican discussion of 'family values' while they refuse to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files. Why do they continue to protect pedophiles? Use your imagination. Meanwhile, that leaves debating the 'big issues.' In Trump's mind, that means the need for the White House ballroom, the Reflecting Pool debacle and finding a devious way to reimburse the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol rioters for their 'patriotism.' Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate, U.S. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, has supported all of Trump's shenanigans. The only time Tiffany would ever say 'no' to Trump is if Trump asked Tiffany if he had had enough of Trump's buffoonery.
