Breaking news. This will likely expand shortly. It's pretty sad when I am more solvent than the United States Government.

What happened to the trillions we spent on the War on Terror? Or the War on Drugs? Or the War on Poverty?
Plus the 48 trillion of unfunded liabilities.
Isn’t there some 800 number they can call for help with this addiction?

Is it really borrowing when the Federal Reserve just prints money to buy it?

The first step in recovery is admitting you have an addiction. Won't happen.

Yes, but after decades of spending, there should coem a point in time that we actually make more than we spend in order to be profitable-

Fundamentally it should cause inflation. However, today, why would it? Who’s currency is ours going to devalue against? Who’s stronger?

Appalling misuse of the trust of American citizens. yep! The Clovid scare isnt going away anytime soon. Its too much of a windfall for researchers and government departments who claim they will need the money to supposedly keep us safe. Then to top it off; theyll need even more money added to the bill to try and prevent a future occurrence of something they cant even predict.
