Voting for Both Parties Is the Worst ROI in America. And the Numbers Prove It. | MTG
Nothing ever changes in Washington. No matter which party is in charge. You still get a bigger debt. You still get foreign wars and you pay for them. Your cost of living still increases. And the value of the dollar continues to shrink.
Debt by president: • Bush (2001): $5.7T → $10T+ • Obama: ~$10T → ~$20T • Trump (1st term): ~$20T → ~$28T • Biden: ~$28T → ~$36T • Trump (2nd term): approaching $40T
Wars by president: • Bush: Iraq, Afghanistan • Obama: continued both + Libya, Syria • Trump (1st): promised to end forever wars — did not • Biden: chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal • Trump (2nd): Iran war — Day 53, 15 US killed, 500+ wounded
FISA timeline: • Bush: created post-9/11 surveillance architecture • Obama: expanded Section 702 • Trump (1st): "KILL FISA" • Trump (2nd): demanded clean extension — failed • Congress: passed 10-day patch to April 30 after 20 Republicans blocked long-term deal
Current economic data: • Gas: $4+/gallon • Inflation: 3.3% March 2026 • Cost of raising a child: $303,418 (LendingTree 2026) • Vehicle ownership costs: up 36% since 2020 • Auto maintenance/repair: up 50% • Auto insurance: up 56% • Family health insurance: over $25,000/year • Dollar purchasing power: down 40%+ since 2000
War context: • Day 53 of Iran war • Ceasefire expires tomorrow evening (April 22) • Trump: extension "highly unlikely" • Iran reclosed Strait of Hormuz April 18 • US blockade intercepted 23 vessels • Oil prices surging: WTI $89, Brent $95.50 • DHS shutdown: 66 days • Senate rejected war powers restriction 4 times
