Cut all government jobs

Thats where all the money we have left if any is going

Those people have been paid for doing nothing for half a year

An example of how worthless government workers are.

Ya I wanted them to let the floor fallout on bonds but they just can't do it. We need a debt purge but instead we're going to get a debt jubilee lol

Would be awesome for younger generations. You can't build wealth buying tech names at 500x earnings and no yields on bonds when the population can't replace it's labor force 1 for 1.

The weird part is this. I only have 1 debt. My mortgage and it is at two and a half percent. But with the likelihood inflation at some point in the future I'm half tempted to go out and pile on more debt that will become cheap in the future

i paid off all my "high" interest student loans

stupid mr. responsible

I have literally zero debt. I'm the sucker for not playing the game.

I would have gone to grad school had I known a student debt jubilee was inevitable.

Now you can go out and take relatively low rate debt and then let inflation make that debt seem cheaper

Or SS, or fund the debt... ironically while everyone has become an amateur virologist dumbsplaining exponential growth of COVID transmission on facebook—they’ve applied none of that to compound interest.

My favorite whine is Millinieals complaining they cant accumulate wealth—while they continually beg for the very policies that prevent it

I hate to be the voice of doom, but that's dead on arrival. No way Democrats go for that, especially the payroll tax. Payroll tax is a Holy Grail tax for Democrats, and I can already here the howls. Republicans don't have thick enough skin to go war with Democrats over this. The only way I see compromise with this is an increase in the stimulus checks, which Republicans won't go for.

Yeah but Americans stopped caring about that debt about 16 years and 10 trillion dollars ago



Specifically, "conservatives" stopped caring around January of 2017, after they started caring around January 2009.

The republicans are going to do what they always do.

Step 1. Democrats ask for $3 Trillion
Step 2. Republicans propose something very small or nothing
Step 3. Democrats accuse republicans of being meanie headed. Anyone left of center hates the republicans.
Step 4. Republicans cave and pass a $2.95 Trilion bill. Now, anyone right of center now hates the republicans too.
Step 5. Republicans try to say “we saved the american taxpayers from the horrible democrats” No one believes it.

So the net is: everyone hates republicans (on both sides). We spend almost the same as we would have if democrats had complete control. Republicans face a tough election cycle because everyone knows they are FOS.

Repeat.

Gotta get “the rich”.

The greatest fallacy ever sold to millinieals is the idea that hating “the rich” is the same as helping “the poor”.

Gotta hand it to him - Trump is the only President that could get a Conservative to celebrate handouts.
