Hahaha... yeah... you are a country of bloody foreigners!

Alwaysmon about your roots:
- Oh, I’m Irish American...
- Oh, I’m African American...
- Latino...
- Italian American...

Nothing is more moronic than listening to foreigners dissing foreigners.
If BLM has taught us anything, it is the relevance of one's roots, yeah?

So all you republinuts are ok with a 24 TRILLION dollar national debt where the INTEREST on that is closing in on a trillion a year.

Thanks to your god king who made the tax bribe to big corps.

Do you think it is in the best interest of the US to keep adding to the national debt infinitum?

What number would you say is too big? 30 trillion? 50? 100? What do we do if the national debt gets so big ALL our taxes go to just cover the interest.

You think THAT is ok?

So what else do we do to draw down that huge ND? I think it is called 'raise taxes'.

You are so paranoid about taxes you seem to think it's ok for the government to run everything with ZERO taxes. It doesn't work that way.

But then again you don't work that way either.

You want to work 40 hours a week with zero pay?

Probably not.

So all you republinuts... [I am not a republinut, I am a Libertarian.

... are ok with a 24 TRILLION dollar national debt where the INTEREST on that is closing in on a trillion a year. I have not been Ok with the debt for the last twenty years.

Trump is not my god king. I don't approve of BRIBES

Do you think it is in the best interest of the US to keep adding to the national debt infinitum? It will destroy America because the people that we depend on to FIX the problem are the ones that needlessly CREATED the problem and your dems figured most prominently into the problem

I think you should by gold and some other currency to protect your assets and yourself

So what else do we do to draw down that huge ND? I think it is called 'raise taxes'. I disagree. CUT SPENDING.

You are so paranoid about taxes you seem to think it's ok for the government to run everything with ZERO taxes. It doesn't work that way. When you allow the PIGS in government to make taxes whatever they want, they will always make the taxes work MOST for the government, not the people. Did you see the economy thrive when Trump cut taxes? Ya

But then again you don't work that way either.

Probably not.


Not sure why you are lecturing me on this issue. your dems over the years are far more responsible for taxes, spending and debt going UP and for the social security system being ripped off

When the INTEREST on the ND gets to a trillion a year, you can cut spending to Zero and still not be able to pay it down. You are in the dark completely when it comes to the ND.
IT IS A DEBT. It has to be paid back. And where do you think the money will come from? Take a guess. Take THREE guesses.

Dude - you're preaching to the choir

They have to CUT SPENDING, not raise taxes. And they never will. That's why it is a no win situation

Shav, maybe you are confusing him with me. I'm the guy to hate. I'm thinking you aren't too keen on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?....or, maybe have your own refined version of it?

Believe me, AJ, when he knows what free market is he'd still hate me because it
means that Big Gov can't take all our money to give to their friends.

That's heresy to a libtard.

A little off the subject, but the Dems want to reduce the amount of meat we eat. Jesus. Do you get a feeling of govt control? And our lib friends here are all for that? Not worth a thread, as it is a given that Biden Kamala and our lib friends are totally irrational and authoritative on this one. Thought they did not like authoritarians. THIS is why they wet their beds.

Maybe......just maybe......
It's a combination of the two ??
Just a thought.....

And if cutting spending is to be the way to go, where would be a good place to start ?
How about the military ?? Hmmm.
Wasn't it said somewhere that amongst the 10 biggest spenders on the military, the US spent more money on the military than the next 9 countries combined !!!!

That statistic was presented a while back and may be outdated today given Putin's recent splurge on his military.
And China as well.
But I think that assessment is close enough to raise some eyebrows.
