Spending will never be cut until we experience total monetary collapse and SHTF on a biblical scale.

They can’t raise taxes high enough to cover their spending sprees. The only solution is pain and lots of it but thinking they can spend their way out of inflation is only going to Male things Hurt even more and for longer.

Hopefully after I’m six feet under. I’m 53 and it’s going to be ugly. I’d love to see us continue for 30 years living in this fake fantasy. Reality will knock us out.

Duh!

Federal spending is the problem. It’s the root cause of so many evils and destruction of liberties.

Agencies like: homeland security, FBI, EPA, department of education…I could just go on and on, need to be ended. The CIA should be returned split up to their respective military branches. Unemployment benefits for 1 year only. Five years maximum government living assistance. Disability only with multiple Physicians approval, and recertification yearly. Retirement to 68 for men, 70 for women. Most importantly

Balanced Budget Amendment

Thanks. Would an upper limit in pension payouts reduce the quality of management employees? Think of how wonderful they’re doing at work.
