"The cold hard truth is that America’s fiscal position is deteriorating, both relative to its history and to other countries." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
The problem comes when you attribute the debt to “spending too much” rather than “taking too little in.” Every Republican president since Reagan has reduced taxes for the rich. And there’s nobody left at the IRS to catch them cheating on even the relatively little they are supposed to pay. And heaven forbid you want to return to a truly progressive tax. So we don’t talk about it.
As long as the budget is based on letting the rich get away with being stingy, then GOSH! “What are we going to do about the budget?” - meaning “How can we cut programs the public wants?” - will always be the problem.
It is just plain wrong. Thing is, it is also stupid from a macro perspective because they need a prosperous public who can afford to BUY things. But just as they don’t care about the wellbeing of the public, they don’t pay attention to what will happen to the American economy.
We have to get these selfish self-serving goons out of office.
And who is going to go through the budget and identify what spending we should and can curtail? Can it work? I think not. The last search I ran revealed that the cumulative Bush and Trump tax cuts plus servicing the debt they accumulated so far accounts for 53% of the total deficit, and it will rise. Americans are under taxed spoiled spendthrifts. So much commerce, such as crop surpluses bought for use as foreign aid, is driven by government spending that cutbacks will trigger a recession or worse. There is no solution without a substantial tax increase, and that must be on income and graduated because as a practical matter, those are the only targets who can pay and still manage a life worth living. The morbidly rich chase money and power as an addiction the same as a compulsive gambler places bets, and that's why they were not discouraged back when the top tax bracket exceeded 90%. Ignore their threats. They will not retreat from a tax hike any more than Trump retreats from a lawsuit.
It should be obvious to anyone with a functioning nervous system that one should never hire an alpha alligator and his cohorts to drain a swamp, any kind of swamp. Trump, his cabinet and the GOPers in Congress are all an abomination. HOBO EJECTUS!!! Kick the lying felon, his bamboozling soldiers in crimes out.
Let us now praise massive and peaceful civil disobedience.
The year I was born in ended with a United States population of 158 million. At the end of 2024, we had 330 million. In my home state, in the year of my birth, the average cost of a new house was $18 K. Today that number is between $220-550 K. Now expectations and size vary, and people want more, but that talks a lot about price increases, not necessarily just inflation. An M60 Patton tank cost $300 K. Today's M1A2 Abrams tank costs $24 M. An F86 Sabre jet cost $2.3 M where an F18 Super Hornet costs $80 M. Times change. Costs go up. You cannot look back and say that, even with inflation, we ought to spend only what we did in the early 1950s for things, because it isn't going to happen. Not to mention that with a doubling plus of our population, the needs of society get boosted up. Want to drive 2 lane highways across country? Most people would say NO. Personally, I like to. You see 'real' America that way.
But contrary to the mouthpieces of the rich, those who gained and received the most also paid for their privileges. Taxation on the topmost bracket (there were a number of brackets back in the day) was 91% through the 1950s. People who bought luxury items (perfume, diamonds, etc) paid a tax for it. It all helped to pay the cost of government. We cannot get ourselves out of the hole of debt without paying the debt down, which means we cannot do tax cuts for the rich. The rich don't create jobs the way their publicists claim, either. Consumption does. There are a lot more of us consumers out there driving the market than there are wealthy folk. Elon doesn't create a demand for wheat. The average person who consumes wheat products does, and the foreign markets.
Politicians, especially right wing politicians, will not tell you this. I'd tell you to look at the National Debt Clock, but Trump has had it realigned to show things like Savings Due to DOGE (imaginary or not).
Kathi Griffin and Don Lemon on his Substack show speculated that the Nazis rigged the 2024 election This conjecture is now beginning to gain traction as objective data supports concerns about the election results
It’s obvious that there was a lot riding on the election since the Orange Cheeto was running to keep his ass out of jail As we know now Cheeto will do anything to survive even if it means defrauding the American people in order to stay out of the hoosegow
First it was Greg Pallast investigative reporting of vigilante challenges to registered voters in order to disenfranchise 3.5M voters from voting that would have brought a win for Harris
Now the Election Truth Alliance(ETA) has shed even more light on election integrity with a sophisticated statistical deep dive into 2024 election These include how the Nazis were able to win all seven swing states which is a rare phenomenon Plotting out the precincts in swing states there is a consistent “comet effect” demonstrating voter data manipulation particularly on the day of the election This kind of graphic effect is seen in evaluation of Russian elections This coupled with Musk’s group expertise in hacking into Fed computer systems, it doesn’t take too much to suggest that vote tabulation tampering occurred
The Nazis should not be allowed to hold public office for at least 6y!!! Join the NO Kings June 14 Protest Keep the pressure on the fascists in government

And quit blaming the problem on social programs.
