Straightforward. Federal debt and liabilities increasing at $12 trillion/year!!!!!!!!!! And our America First poser and the Congress are doing everything they can to increase spending and make the bankruptcy collapse come sooner. Bi-partisan, don’t you know.
Gosh, what would happen after all if the US didn’t fund the genocide of 80,000 Gazans? If the US taxpayer didn’t fund the destruction of the homes of 2 million Gazans? Could we handle not having that blood on our hands? And now funding a war of whim killing Iranians and Americans on a pretext more contrived than WDM that will make the world a lot poorer.
The U.S. has carried debt since it was founded. In fact, the U.S. accumulated more than $75 million in debt during the Revolutionary War, and that increased to over $2 billion by the end of the Civil War in 1865. Now it is in the multi-trillions.
I understand how the system works. In fact I used to regularly invest in Treasury notes which paid good interest.

Let’s hear it for “our Democracy.”
In so many ways, J. Sobran, we are not being led well. The kids and grandkids and great-grandkids will pay the price.

Does anyone think we will ever be debt free ?
Happy Easter, Fred.
It certainly seems unlikely we will ever be debt free, Fred– that is, unless the system breaks and we must start all over.
