It's not for nothing,it's to fund Israel and his genocide

The billionaires are richer though.

Won't somebody think of the military industrial complex!?

But, they do have good, hard working folks like Elon Musk. That alone makes it all worth it. /s

Amerikkka has centibillionaires and trillionaires. Those are super-expensive.

But we have more billionaires than any other country. Isn't that what makes America great? What more do you want?

Here. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos will trickle down a little more on your head. There you go. Now don't you feel all warm and soaking wet? Bitch.

But the DOW…

This must be what they mean when they talk about American exceptionalism.

If all the DSA's in the running get elected, we'll see some measure of change.

There were only like six Tea Party reps that got elected way back when, and we saw how they were able to shake things up.

America's only great for the 1%.

Oh but they have a lot to show for it. Ask anyone living in Iran. Or Israel.

Just not in the USA itself.

What a weird concept.

Everybody in the world can see what American money buys, except Americans.

We have the most billionaires!

Plenty of rich higher up trash, though. Just sayin.

You'd think they'd have at least bullet trains.

And even the military is a laughing stock and being out of stock of interceptor missiles.

They have an aircraft carrier with no catering that would be sunk by hypersonics within minutes of a real war breaking out.

Guess who holds 460 billion dollars worth of it?

We did get stuff, poisoned water, poisoned food, and maybe a trillionaire!

Come on, we have our very own trillionaire!

In principle, being the preferred world currency and reserve currency means that Treasury bonds are a safe way to build their reserves while gaining interest. This keeps the American dollar and the American led world relevant. In other words, if America goes down, so will you. This also gives the US a lot of coersive leverage over developing nations to exploit their land and labor. This means that the core of the US empire gets access to cheap resources and labor. What the US gets is highly malleable power.

Companies don't pay enough so the whole tax base is lower than it should be, and definitely need higher tax rates, like it was when so much of the country was built and funded publicly. Some claim to want those olden days again, and wouldn't pay the full taxes anyway after all the deductions. Higher wages and if ever had healthcare for all, workers would have much better quality of life, less stress from scarcity, closer to EU benefits, but still not paid sick, family leave and vacation time at all jobs.

Enough workers must get better benefits than others, they say everyone can do the same, but it's not true, and it's an example of the selfishness that runs deep. Another example is when they see others with benefits they don't have, they want it taken away, rather than realize they deserve it too. From the lore of "pioneers, explorers and the self-made who did it all on their own," people today think they did too. Good for those that really did, and lots of hard workers for sure, but most had help in various ways they don't recognize. I'm not sure if anything will get them to see the truth, since they rely so much on their team for identity, and it teaches them to stay in the basic right/wrong thinking and don't want to think beyond that, too hard, and thinking is stoopid!

But at least the extreme wealthy are paying less in taxes than any time since taxes began

/s

money for nothing and the chicks for free!

Nations who hold sovereignty over their currency can’t be in debt in that currency any way that can be mistaken as problematic unless they choose it to be.

The ‘National Debt’ for such entities is merely the tally of their currency which is yet to be obliterated through taxation.

There’s also no such thing as ‘taxpayer money’ in their context, perpetuating this specious notion unnecessarily inflates the legitimacy of corrosive policies.

theres also disconnect between the voters and the debt, they dont anything is happening to them financially so they ignore it.
