If I used affect vs effect wrong in that title, I give up.
Inflation
These are the clips I enjoy. It explains the dynamic between citizens, politicians, and taxes.
National Debt
The national debt has grown by $7.29 trillion during Biden’s Presidency. It grew by $6.7 trillion under Trump. It currently sits at $35 trillion. Our interest payments on debt for 2023 were $658 billion. That debt is equivalent to the entire GDP of Poland.
How do we plan on paying that back? Inflation & Taxes.
Don’t Vote
When people ask me who I’m voting for I tell them people should come together and not vote. Usually they laugh. Then they think I’m un-American or stupid. They’ll reply that it’s unrealistic. I’m used to people not agreeing with me. It’s far easier to criticize than to produce.
Behind the political mask is an ugliness people ignore. It’s wasteful. It’s selfish. It’s argumentative. I listened to Vivek Ramaswamy and his solution was cut 75% of government officials. Love it. Identifying that the people in charge are a ball and chain on YOU, and happily voting for them is insane.
When you start feeding the government 40% of your wage, more every time you import, more every time you purchase, and more every time you make a sale, AND IT STILL ISN’T ENOUGH, why would you have faith they are acting in your best interest as a citizen? This is no different then when Jude gives his “more sign” language. It’s the easiest way to get what you want and, sadly, comparing the government’s means of solving its problems to a 2 year old is accurate.
With all of that complaining, I still wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in than the USA. Other places are worse. When I say illegals are diluting the country, and they are coming from war torn countries where their decision is live or die, I feel for that decision. No one says it’s easy. Yet, you’re watching the country collapse, thinking you hate a candidate, and not making changes. Worse, you’re voting for it. It’s a popularity contest, give me a fucking break.
I imagine myself in front of Congress and the lead egghead says, “you don’t understand the particulars of National Debt. It’s too complicated.” Is it? Let’s see the budgets for each department. Let’s see how much money you throw at countless programs that accomplish nothing. Let’s see how much corruption there is. Oh, we had to house 10,000 illegal’s at $50 a day for 50 days, it only cost taxpayers $25 million. They act like it’s rocket science on how to lose $7 trillion. It’s fiscal irresponsibility.
