At worst you have…well…this.
It’s like you have some weird parasocial relationship with the president. Dude he loathes you and me. We’re unionized worker bees who have the audacity to fight for our piece of the pie. Why are you carrying his water all the time? Can you critique him on a single point? Is he some kind of god to you?
I mean all this in the nicest possible way, it’s just so strange to me seeing people just so all in on one particular “side”.
Most of your personal wealth is built on that black hole.
30T+ printing and issuing into the economy is what has ran the economy the past 20+ years.
Go check your balances from 2000, and multiply it by 1.03 26 times to see how much you have benefitted from deficit spending.
A doctor with exclusively Medicare patients will complain they have to pay more Medicare taxes because .gov sucks.
The wealth gap has gotten so much larger because wealthy people are better at retaining money from goods and services and poor/old people are better at getting the government to issue money to them to consume goods and services.
The deficit money comes off the printing press and goes to whatever need based program is your favorite and lands in “rich people” wallets.
The last dentist you flew billed Medicaid at a deficit loss for filling cavities and bought an airline ticket.
In other countries the Pilot and dentist make less and the kid still has tooth pain or a missing tooth, the money never showed up from the deficit printer.
