Yep. But eventually there will be nowhere left to go.


At the same time there's really nowhere in the world set up as well as the US economically or geopolitically.

We're impossible to invade because of our geography while owning a massive amount of natural resources. I can't think of many nations that have those 2 things. So they can move on, but the risk in most any other country is far greater than the US. A significant sum of people stick their money in US banks during times of volatility.

Boomers have completely ruined this country. Their lasting legacy will be one of overspending and debt and completely fricking this once great country.

Republicans only care about deficits when they are in the minority. Had four years under Trump to pass a balanced budget and cut spending. Kids future was destroyed long before this bill passed.

Sure. Let's just ignore the massive growth in deficit spending 2008- onward.

Balancing the budget today would require an almost 40% cut to expenditures. You cannot do that without massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare. If you think that's a politically tenable position-- I suggest you try to campaign on cutting granny's check and healthcare by 30% and see how it goes.

Just our debt service alone guarantees we can never balance the budget again. This was well known as early as 2011. You can read the CBO reports for yourself. The rising deficits 2017 and beyond were entirely predicted.

Indeed. Just keep in mind our deficit was only $160B in 2007. Since then our spending is up 175%.
If we spent today... what we spent in 2007 we'd be running a > $1 Trillion SURPLUS.

Nothing justifies that spending growth. It wasn't like government was inadequate in 2007. Though I did seem to trip over people dying in the streets much more often back then.

Being a Libertarian is the most frustrating thing in the world. You have to sit and watch as BOTH parties argue over pointless social issues while they eagerly spend us into oblivion. If you voted for Republican or Democrat, this is your fault. We’ve tried to warn you and you haven’t listened.

Obama entered office with a national debt of 10.7 Trillion. Trump left office with a National Debt of 27 Trillion.

60% of all dollars in circulation were created from a printer in the past 12 years.

Govern yourselves accordingly. This won’t be pretty.

Everyone in red states should decline the stimulus.

I didn't get the last one.

A balanced budget would have to be partisan. Democrats will never vote to cut their money to buy voters.

Right. Why does responsibility for balancing the bigger lie solely with Republicans?

When did Democrats propose anything closer to balanced budget? When did republicans block a democrat president’s balanced budget request? What democrat balanced-budget plan did Republicans block?

That has never happened that I can recall.
