Our nation’s economic troubles can he boiled down to 1 single issue

The United States of America now has more takers than makers.

The government has to print & borrow money at unreal rates because there are more folks taking money from the government than there are putting money into the government.

Social welfare spending (medicare/medicaid/social security/food subsidies/housing subsidies/child tax credits/unearned income credits/etc.) is now just OVER half of the federal government’s budget.

If all no-retirement based social spending (medicare & SS for retirees) were removed from the budget, we would have a budget surplus.

As it stands, our $30T national debt will only continue to grow. Can you imagine the 90M people who are currently receiving social welfare assistance deciding to cast their votes for any political candidate whose goal was to reduce the national debt?

Leftists ONLY complain about defense spending - which is definitely bloated - but conveniently leave out the welfare numbers.

We are financially doomed forever with ZERO hope of avoiding impact.

I hope you boomers enjoyed the salad days, because your shitty hippy social programs have doomed all future generations.

Another troubling number…almost $0.20 of every tax dollar now goes to service only the INTEREST of our national debt.

Damnit!!!!
