however because of this debt,something has to change.
NOthing changes until the money runs out..........
Agreed.
kind of.
Our Federal budget operates on the “Use it or lose it” model.
They hit/spend their budget allocations and then they can get more money for the next year. Many agencies actually struggle to spend their money. Some advertise and pay people to sign up folks to get free stuff from the gov’t. They come up with insane “Mandates” and tell the states that they can get fed money if they adopt these mandates.
The states need to start saying no to the money.
The/our Government is basically a “Pass through” entity with massive infrastructure costs along with the power to dictate more and more regulations on the states.
I’m a Federalist.
I say freeze the Government.
Roll back the mandates.
Say no to the money.
This would actually flood the Feds with cash. More cash than they could possibly spend if the proper controls are put in place. They already have more cash than they need but are allowed to spend it under any variety of protocols, most of which require them to create a “Need”.
