You got that right.
The left (and for all I know, many Republicans too) would gladly spend a million dollars a vote, as long as it's taxpayer money. Need 20 million votes? You'll have to borrow $20 trillion to get it? No problem, where do I sign?
That's exactly how they think.
On a local radio show, guy called in an said that he was having a real hard time getting financed on a new dump truck for his landscaping business. Salesman was upset because he could finance a zombie on a new Escalade without a problem. Escalade purchaser had 6 dependents and got about 8k/month on welfare and that qualified him for financing.
What a lot of FReepers understand that we are borrowing trillions to keep millions of people fed, housed, clothed and given medical care, cell phones and walking around cash.
Government politicians know that the debt is too big to ever overcome without major revolutionary, ugly corrections. The inner cities will burn, the suburbs raided and the country folk will end up banding together to stop the onslaught.
Think I’m crazy? You either have to have debt forgiven or go to war to tell them to screw off. Debts will be collected (unless you are the USA where we always get stiffed).
When EBT cards stop working, that’s when the Hope and Change becomes real.
