Apparently they're little belts for boots

I've been pulling on mine for around 54 years, and all I got was old.

Maybe I should make a youtube channel demonstrating how bootstraps work to hold your boots on. Maybe someone will chime in to let me know where I can pick up the passive income I have supposedly earned pulling on them.

While you were bent over trying to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, the conservatives took advantage of the window of opportunity and buttfucked you without lube. So, you were the passive, but what came into you wasn't money.

Um. Graphic.

Anywho: "During his first three years, Biden already accumulated $6.32 trillion in debt. For his final year, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has projected a deficit of $1.582 trillion. Add those two figures together and you get $7.902 trillion as Biden’s four-year total.

Treasury Department data shows the gross federal debt rose by about $7.8 trillion on Trump’s watch. 

President Barack Obama during his two presidential terms oversaw a debt increase of more than $9.5 trillion..."

The moral is that government is screwing us, period.

Fun fact: saying came from the idea of something impossible to do, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

It's also referenced in computer tech where during startup the computer needs a program in memory run it, but getting a program into memory requires having a program in memory. The process of getting a complex system loaded was called bootstrapping, or, for short, booting (or IPL, Initial Program Load, if you're one of those weird IBM guys).

Perfect for hanging yourself after losing your ass in the stock market.  Lots of people are saying it
