I do agree, if you just continue to print money and get people to buy your trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt issuance, you will not go bankrupt.  That said, even @Justwin says that the current pace of new debt and interest on that debt is not sustainable.  So I guess just a plain old default   :dunno:

That of course changes nothing about the insane whack-a-doo duality of #blueanon.  One second having a total meltdown about potential cuts in Federal spending, the next minute having yet another infantile moment and voting against a spending bill that changes nothing about the current level of spending.

It wasn't serious at all Bucket . . . proven by the fact that he put Pedo Pete in charge.

What do you guys think we should do about this debt, cut funding to small organizations that make up a fraction of a percentage of government spending, fire a bunch of government workers (and often realize they shouldn't have been fired so hire them back) or increase taxes on billionaires by a measly 2%? Well luckily we put a billionaire in charge whose companies make a combined $8 million PER DAY from the government and I'm sure he'll do the thing that's best for the country.

I think they should all do a bunch of nazi crap to make people talk about nazi's then reward themselves a bunch of projects for vehicles and space stuff, then pause a bunch of our governing to make car commercials.

Too easy, we should give them less taxes, somehow their money flows down to the worker, who then pays those taxes in addition to the bill and they already do while being told they are leeching off the government. Then we raise tariffs to "make money" while passing the buck to those same people. Rinse repeat. Poor get poorer, rich get richer. But DEI!!!!

Simply put, "hey billionaires, you paid x% on your income last year. This year we're gonna have you pay x+2%".

No need, I don't write policy and even if I came up with the perfect way to solve everything, I couldn't get it to the people that make decisions.

But the concept is very easy; if you have more money than you and your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will every be able to spend, then maybe more of your money should go into the government so we don't have to end programs for poor people or have kids in public school not able to eat lunch. It'd be a rounding error to them, but could change tens of thousands of lives.

Taxing the income of the 800 people in this country who qualify as billionaires an extra 2% on their AGI would generate very little revenue.

You guys know there's a spot on your tax forms where you can pay more if you think the gov is great at spending your money.

How much of Elon’s dough is taxpayer money?  Most of it right?

At least 3 of his companies wouldn’t exist without taxpayer money. It’s all for the greater good though. Better for him to keep getting taxpayer money than the food banks that just recently lost funding.

I couldn't love the Tesla dealership protests and sales declines any more. Make the ultra wealthy pay a real cost if they choose to do the kind of stuff he's doing.

Seems like something DOGE should be looking in to. Being misogynistic and really racist is surely more expensive than just not being right???
