@RandPaul
Near record gas prices and inflation are causing headaches for families across Kentucky and the entire country. We have to cut federal spending to curb inflation and produce more oil.

Or totally raise taxes, Big Time.
Or both.
Otherwise It’s totally unsustainable.
When is the day of reckoning?
I’m waiting for my monkeypox lockdown stimulus check./s
$130 Trillion ?? Question.
Hopefully after I pass on.
‘We have to cut federal spending’
-
Good luck with that!
There will be a huge crisis and it will hit out of nowhere.
Will make 2008 look trivial,.
Everything many of us have warned about...
How many ways under a confrontational GOP majority?
1) Cut the 10%of government the public won’t even notice. I’m talking entire departments. They’ve been discussed here before.
2) Eliminate corporate welfare-populist
3) Offer to free incarcerated immigrants provided they have a country to return to.
4) Top government retirement pensions at $50k/yr. Populist.
Please share the others. Afterwards we can cut in your face programs like environment/education/humanities shit. Really piss off the left-perhaps 2025.
Good luck, Rand! Been talked about for generations and nothing has been done, yet.
Well, there are always fantastic, amazing, genius good reasons for spending beyond our government’s means to the current tune of $30+T. Reasons this muggle (who must pay his taxes, bills, live within a budget, and try to save whatever remains of his income) cannot fathom. But I have been assured by politicians and “freedom-loving conservatives” alike that we as a nation would be in far worse shape financially (to say the least!) if we didn’t.
I think that ship has sailed Rand. The only way out of this is a total restructure of our financial system. Hopefully QFS.
The Federal Reserve will probably just inflate our currency in order to pay our bills. They’ll try to manage our inflation rate to 10%-15% as the “cost of doing business”. If we were to do austerity, we’ll see a financial collapse something between the Greet Depression and the Subprime Mortgage Crisis in 2008.
Rand Paul is right to point out the problem. Even if it's impossible to fix it.
Well a toad stool could point out the problem. He needs to be pointing out the solution.
(Will make 2008 look trivial,)
Yes and there’s no way to stop it from coming, either.

Sez $169,577,xxx,xxx,xxx.xx right now when I looked.
41.5 trillion worse
Oops rushing.....
