The leftists will portray any attempt to cut any government spending, as taking food out of the mouth of poor people , and throwing granny off the cliff.

I wonder how this country would be if we had any semblance of a fair and balanced media. We are put in the position where Republicans and conservatives are always the bad guys.

whether it’s pending government shutdowns , or attempts to cut back government spending, media reports will be that evil Republicans want to take away food amd medicine, and throw granny off the cliff.

The US government basically borrows money from the Federal Reserve (a private company) which gives the US government permission to runs its printing presses over at the Treasury Dept. The Fed says the government can print $1T and *poof* a trillion dollars comes into existence. BUT we need to pay interest on that. So that pile of a trillion dollars is already insufficent. We need something like $1.1T to pay off that debt. That's $100B that we don't have. Where can we get it? Oh, I know -- The Fed. We'll just go and borrow more money. But then we have to pay interest on that too. It never ends.

What we should do (and what governments have done in the past) is simply run the printing presses in a somewhat judicious manner. Don't borrow. Don't pay back. Kill the Fed. Just print money that you need and that's it.

I guess people worry that if we can just "run the presses" then we would print "too much money". Well, the current method has printed $33T too much. So how well is that working??

Currently, we pay $800B a year in interest because we do not follow the strategy in my second paragraph.

[The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows once again proved why the American people should treat their coverage of President Joe Biden’s economy like the deceptive propaganda that it is.]

The government could seize what is left of America’s 401ks to help pay for the governments complete mismanagement of everything, with a promise to pay it all back within 5 years..
