Yes.
At least one more zero needs to be added to the, quote, “cuts” for them to start to have any effect on the actual debt. I’ve told my reps that we need to ruthlessly adopt a scorched earth retreat from everything that got us 14 tillion in debt.
If we don’t the goose that lays golden eggs will not only not be able to lay any more golden eggs, it will not even be able to poop.
I don’t believe that scorched earth will even be noticeable to most working Americans. It will feel like scorched earth to the millions of freeloaders that will no longer be able to suck at the democratic bosom, but that is exactly what they need in my opinion. Get them off their asses and make them become productive citizens. I don’t think the kind of budget cuts we need to get us out of this mess will have much effect on my life at all.
