Where’s the relief for this like giving money to the Ukraine or student loan forgiveness! Covid and there after have affected a lot of people, along with insane inflation!
Don’t make me tap the sign…
1. We owe most of it to ourselves.
2. What we don’t owe to ourselves could easily be paid off by collecting the $688b/yr in unpaid taxes from the 1%.
3. We could pay that off even fast if we repealed the Bush/Trump tax cuts for the 1%, *even if we let everyone else keep their tax cuts*
4. We could pay it off ***even faster still*** if we took the savings from a Universal Healthcare program and used them to pay off the debt
5. and finally… WE DON’T WANT TO PAY IT OFF. Keeping other nations tied up in our bond market makes the US dollar stronger internationally and lets us buy cheap imports, effectively turning the rest of the world into a low cost factory for American consumers.
Find something else to worry about because our national debt ain’t it.
Weeeeeeee! This is your household on drugs. When do we start drug testing lawmakers?
Deficits don’t matter… and Saddam Hussein had WMDs.

Yes. This happens when interest rates go up.
