At the macro level, we see that The Federal government has gone wild spending money and borrowing it. Much more than businesses and households. Biden's wild spending reduces the degrees of freedom that Treasury has if the US slips into another recession or depression.

“if the US slips into another recession or depression.”
“If”??
It’s WHEN.
Pffftttt! They should see mine. They’d need to catch up. 😂👍
One Trillion dollars just to pay interest on the debt. I can still remember when the entire federal budget was under a Trillion dollars. When entitlements get too big Governments historically result to the printing press to pay for everything . Invest in gold. Gold never gets old. And guns too. So you can keep that gold.
If there’s not a law against it they’ll rip us off just like their phony “foundations”
““if the US slips into another recession or depression.”
“If”??
It’s WHEN.”
Absolutely, and it will be a full on depression. And no one has a garden and chickens in the back yard anymore. There are going to be a whole lot of hungry folks...
You’re like a Brocken record.
No sh*t Sherlock.
You and NextRush should get a room.
Yawning 🥱
Difference being businesses and private households don’t have the same kind of pricing presses at their disposal.
Must be nice to spend as other people money and not have to worry about getting your own paycheck.
Wild govt?
Not a surprise when you look at the ding-a-lings running it.
Kalifornia’s $68 billion (atm) deficit:
“But never fear. “Billions Biden” will make sure California is okay, at least until the 2024 Presidential election.”
Indeed, he will.
Wife and I just went to the grocery store Friday. We bought about $150 worth of groceries - but we had to pay $250.
Where did the other groceries we paid for, but did not get, go?
They went to someone that was a friend of the Democrats; the Democrats that print and give away tons of money to their friends.
The hay we worked all of our lives to put in the barn has been devalued. By a bunch.
Is t it odd that the very people who drone on endlessly about “sustainability” of everything are totally ignoring the one thing that is completely unsustainable and matters far more than all the other things combined?
CLOWARD & PIVEN, 100%
I know I’m sending in 50% of last year’s tribute.
"Government Gone Wild! [??? emphasis added] Federal Government Debt Soars Compared To Business and Household Debt"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The voters need to take responsibility for the unconstitutionally big government that they have created as a consequence of reelecting career lawmakers who are not transparent how taxpayer dollars are being spent.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature [emphases added].” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."
That being said, the next major political event in the U.S. is not when hopeful Trump 47 is elected for a third time, but Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots getting ready ASAP to support Trump by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives up for reelection in 2024, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.
The crook lawmakers that misguided voters keep reelecting for unknown reasons need to be replaced with patriots who will not only support hopeful Trump 47 to finish draining the swamp, but will also do the following. New lawmakers also need to support Trump in leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutional big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).
Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“ If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
(Again) “Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattetive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
In fact, consider that since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably that citizens that would get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
Again, consider that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
