That metaphor represented a hopeless situation. Salinger’s protagonist was crying out about his ineffectiveness. Great metaphor, though, and it’s very apt for our current situation.
The idea that we should be rear guard against left wing spending is defeatist, and it went out the window in the 80’s when Republicans realized they would always be the minority party if they kept fighting against COLAs, etc. Now both parties ignore the deficit spending as a matter of survival. If Trump had behaved as you wished, we’d have Kamala Harris as President right now. What good is that?

There is literally nothing else we can do, besides collapse the economy. Hold the line for decades if needed until the economy grows enough to cover our bills.
Helping them isnt fixing the problem. It just raises the speed of our pending serfdom.

I've seen you, TA, and basically every leftist on this board use those strategic activites to claim Trump is chickening out on tariffs.
He isnt "chickening" out. He's learning the facts related to his indiscriminate war on private industry.
This is a one man small/medium business wrecking show. Trump is unilaterally playing life and death with many of our small to medium sized businesses.

Bernie also claimed to support democracy. Do you require me to take the opposition there?
Again, you are violating your own logic.
I'm supposed to blindly support anything Trump says or does or I have TDS.
By that logic, yes, you're supposed to blindly oppose anything Bernie Sanders says or does or else you're a leftist.
Your own logic is enough, but there's much more in this context. Protectionist economic policy has long been associated with the left, not the right. Bernie Sanders isn't a random association; him supporting tariffs is expected in the historical context of who has generally supported them.
Combine it with Trump buying the government into private business and suggesting a centrally planned economy with respect to certain industries and he is actually TO THE LEFT of Sanders on economic issues.

Pretend there is absolutely no overlap between ideologies.
What exactly should a Republican POTUS have in common policy-wise with Bernie Sanders? What does it make sense for them to agree on? What foundational principles do they share that would lead them to the same conclusions on something?
And I'm talking about policy. Not irrelevant silliness. It doesn't matter if they both like the colors of the American flag, for example.

But it's only short term political survival for them.
Not long term survival for the country.
I've said this for a long time. Either someone out there knows something that very few people know—which is why they keep ignoring the debt issue—or else they simply don't care because they will be dead by the time the country collapses.
Either somebody has figured out some way to deal with going over the cliff so that it can easily be reset or in some other way isn't catastrophic, or this is the fatal flaw in a representative democracy and we'll happily fly into destruction like a moth to a flame.
If it's the former, I don't know why we have to have taxes at all. Just print money to pay for the government and let everybody keep theirs. So what if we go over the cliff in five years? Reset it and keep on trucking.

You got a chip, congrats which was built in a plant that was conceived because of Covid bullshite, not tariffs, Genius.
You liberal realizing you’re dead wrong again and the subsequent melt is the best entertainment on earth. But don’t frat my libtard friend. Your handlers will come out with another blabbing idiotic point for yall to scream about soon. That you guessed it will be proven wrong by time once again. It’s a very entertaining circle. Like a dog chasing its own tail
