I use to think that we could/would somehow control Federal spending. Now days everybody wants federal money for some reason or another. I still say NO, but I am beginning to think ‘the hell with it”. Send me $2000 a month even if I am working making good money. I can always use the extra $2k to buy more ammo, more freeze dried food, more heavy duty clothes and boots. Break the system now while most of us are still young enough to rebuild and make damn sure we write some rules that will control the damn politicians. (Pipe dream I am sure, but why not shoot for the moon?)
Are we being blunt here?
How the HECK can we pay tens of trillions back when we can’t even stop yearly trillion dollar deficits??
At least Japan had us beat with 200 percent debt to GDP
Now I fear we are closing in on that.
We will owe 1/20 of a quadrillion dollars in maybe 10 or 15 years if things don’t change.
We will owe a decent sized percentage of a number I never knew until the debt got higher and higher and I got curious what came next.
It’s a tough choice. Fighting to rebuild now and push back the tide or let it burn to the ground and start over.
I’m going with the first one at least while Trump is in office.
Perhaps once he wins a second term, he will really tackle the debt.
winnah winnah chicken dinnah.
The hell with illinoying. I am just trying to set things up so my kids get thru the collapse ok.
When the rules are written, consult an old story by H. Beam Piper, “Lone Star Planet”. We’ve tried being nice, next time we should hold them accountable, and not just during an election.
Why not shoot for the politicians asking for the moon?
