These are all true, but they are presented in a distorted fashion because the vertical axes are presented as arithmetic, and not logarithmic.

It is disingenuous to not present these charts in logarithmic form.

Let’s first stop the STUPID STUFF... and then, we can adjust as necessary.

But, we MUST stop this debt crisis.

It’s like stopping weight gain.. eventually, you HAVE to STOP eating.

Remember Republicans are not much better at this than Dems. To bring the Debt under controll we must have politicians who are willing to tell those asking for money no.

We are at the point where the options are a combination of cutting total federal spending by ~50% and finding new revenues. Cuts of that level will require cuts to sacred cows (primarily Social Security and Medicare). New revenues will not come in any quantity from raising income taxes as that cut of the economy is effectively maxed at ~18%. The largest potential source of new revenues I can think of is reforming/replacing the 1872 mining law.

BINGO!

I pointed this out yesterday, when a duplicate of this article was posted here.

Makes one wonder what they ‘really’ know about Apophis...

That’s been at the back of my mind, as well. They’ve been spending like there’s no tomorrow…..

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

You don't have to tell people 'NO' if you have hundreds of thousands of social security checks going out to people who don't exist - and medium level 'public servants' owning million dollar beach homes, and paychecks going out to people who quit their government jobs decades before....

The problem is we have entrenched democrat graft, gifts, and grant programs that give to every progressive, sexual weirdo and white liberal 'elite' group in the country. NOT to Americans - but only to that half that's democrat.

Trump has said a hundred times that he's NOT going to cut Social Security - and he's not going to and doesn't have to.... Elon's found magic 'money making machines, favors, influence peddling, insurance policies etc Democrats don't give 'small' to themselves.... they live large on our dime

The reason democrats keep bringing Social Security up is because they want to keep stealing money and giving it away to their friends. And the fear old people have of dying on the streets gives democrat filth the power to keep the graft going. Trump is putting an end to that. the problem IS NOT Social Security - the problem is corrupt evil democrats. Evil little sh*ts...
