It’s disingenuous to blame tax cuts, when the recent audits show both fraud and grift (trillions for NGOs and non-profits benefiting mainly the globalist or Democrat objectives) and outlay for illegal border crossers together comprise so much of the debt. I haven’t added it up, but my butt sense is around half of the national debt or more is due to those three items. Then there’s the cost of crime due to liberal policies—don’t get me started.
Trump has also attacked the trade imbalances and the currency manipulation, plus the US having spent more than any other nation for NATO and UN dues. Did the authors think all this would be cleaned up in less that two years, with the appellate judiciary stacked against him?
Just think: one of our biggest offenders, California, just passed a bill making it illegal for citizen journalists to uncover fraud!
The dirty little secret is that it is false to think that reigning in spending is the answer to the national debt. All that might be is to slow down the accumulation of debt, so instead of a financial crash tomorrow, it’d be the day after that.
The system itself, as designed in 1913 and modified at Bretton woods meetings, and shocked as in 1971 with gold, is faulty, and designed to enrich banksters.
The answer lies in changing the financial system to be backed in precious metals and perhaps other commodities. That removes recessions and inflation theft. And, that means ending the FED and the IRS.
