Yet they continue sending billions and billions to other countries like Ukraine and Israel.
These politicians are corrupt. We need more of the Rand Paul’s and Massies.

quote:

“The U.S. federal government’s on an unsustainable fiscal path. And that just means that the debt is growing faster than the economy. So, it is unsustainable. I don’t think that’s at all controversial,”


quote:

The U.S. national debt topped $34 trillion for the first time ever in early January, just over three months after surpassing the $33 trillion mark, according to data released by the U.S. Treasury.

No one gets re/elected by cutting federal spending. Cutting Medicare/caid spending, gutting defense, firing federal workers, defunding grants, etc. is completely contrary to politics so it's going to happen only with a gun to the head of Congress and the White House.

There may be a few who want a collapse, but I think the majority are just fricking dumb and/or selfish.

Is he suggesting that printing money out of thin air is not a sustainable monetary policy? What a hard-crank kook!

The elites believe that they can escape the coming collapse. No one escapes.

The most unsurprising thing ever.

The floor is being raised, we're not climbing faster than the system is rising. You cannot continue to artificially grow the economy through borrowed money.

We are practicing MMT right now.

If every single tax payer paid the US govt 250k, our debt would be gone for a total of 1/100th of a second.

It goes up roughly 100k every 5 or 6 seconds.

They = the people.


That's who keeps voting them in.

I blame universal suffrage.

We have to implement voter qualifications.

We're playing with fake money. Nothing has value, just a price.

That would be awesome. Problem is, there are a ton of rainbow people who can fit that description.

I'm for poll tests. Just a 5 question pass/fail civics test on each ballot. You have to vote in person. The questions would be taken directly from the tests that immigrants have to take before becoming a citizen.

BTW, I wonder how long it's going to be before these insane Leftists want those tests abolished for immigrants? We all know it's coming.
