Nothing will change until the US Government is forced to get all its revenue in real money AND to must compete with free actors in society for money - and pay REAL interest rates.
Printed, fiat money means the US Government can fund 1000 progressive schemes.
That means ending the Federal Reserve and changing our present financial system. Change that, and you immediately put hand-cuffs on government spending, and change 1000 other things, including seemingly unconnected societal trends.
They’ll just steal it from somewhere else...
