@MarineBob We still need Israel's intelligence reports from Mossad, as for the rest, close ALL of the foreign bases, don't forget the weapons too, leave NATO, and make them pay for their own defence.
@NativePortlander1970 You forget that the past 60 years, the United States made up wars on many continents, and NATO had to pay for that too. From Korea via Vietnam to Kuwait or Afghanistan, the US made war without reason and all NATO members saw money flow away. Now there is a real enemy, you want to back out. There is a name for that.
I have been bleeding about this since it was $70,000 per person. Now they need to borrow just to pay the interest. And STILL borrowing $Trillions more every year..😷
@Nimbus What the debt is for, who holds the debt, etc. What effects that debt has on the lives of the citizens, the effects that naive attempts to clear it or restrict it might have. Without a discussion of those things, and more, the numbers are not very useful.
Oh, it's much worse than that. In college Economics class, we studied the Kerrey Danforth Report.
Thanks to the shit you just provided, this is what we have to look forward by the year 2030. (If not sooner.)
1. The ENTIRE federal budget will be nothing but INTEREST on Social Security borrowing. No military, no welfare, no government, no roads, education,etc.
2. Taxation will be 90 percent across the board. No exceptions.
