Doesn't seem like leadership from either party is actually willing to do anything about it


We used to have one party that wanted big government and one party that wanted small government

Now both parties want big government… the only difference is what they want the big government to focus on.

social security is welfare


Absolutely. It just has (for now) a dedicated funding stream. Two, actually. FICA and the revenue raised from taxing social security benefits.

You are taking from one and directly giving to another, the fact that this who now receive used to be givers does not change this basic fact.

Maybe not intentionally but anyone could see how it would end up.

Abolish income tax


Without cutting spending?

and sales taxes on luxury items.


Nothing to do with feds

Pass a law that will make interest rates fixed at 0.5 %.


Who will buy these bonds?

Abolish the federal reserve and bring monetary control inside the US treasure department.


Support but that fixes maybe 5% of the problem

Chuck Schumer says he will reinstate all DOGE cuts dammit! Free money for everyone!

Also, the country will not exist in its current form by 2036.
