but they had to cut vets to save a couple billion.
they didnt cut:
- benefits to illegals
- welfare
- food stamps
- foreign aid to Pakistan
- foreign aid to terrorist organizations seeking to destroy Israel
- pay or benefits to Congress
- support for unions
- support for global warming
- and a myriad of other wasteful govt spending
A long time ago, the federal government granted itself the power to print money.
Then it proceeded to bribe the states with it, and garner votes and power.
The “spending”, the “debt”, is their creation. Not the states.
When the chickens come home to roost, they will try to rape the states by selling National Parks (they will call them Earth Resources or some other bullshit), the land that “belongs” to the feds, (what’s that? Like 3/4 of Nevada?), and sell “Administration” of national resources. (Like the FAA or CDC being run by the Chinese).
Even 17 trillion in debt wasn’t enough to help them buy or find someone with the stones we need.
Plus it is going to go up as I fully expect the Pubbies to eventually cave on extending unemployment benes.
