This is the macro equivalent of somebody who constantly lives beyond their means eventually getting to the point that they have to start liquidating assets to continue their level of consumption.
Well, deficit projections aren’t as high as the COVID years - which were huge, but temporary.
One thing our system is bad at is being forward looking. Nobody wants to be the strict parent.Well, deficit projections aren’t as high as the COVID years - which were huge, but temporary.
But they are roughly double the historical Post-WWII average….year after year. Do you hear anybody campaigning on addressing this? I don’t.
That's not the only difference. Governments can refinance their debt in perpetuity. Individuals can't. Eventually you die, and your debt comes out of your estate. Governments can just keep borrowing.
“You don’t ‘save’ your way to plan; you grow your way to plan.”
And I think that's reasonable. I wonder more about someone using the moniker "conservative" and wanting to eliminate the IRS or the income tax or even the 90-year-old social security system.
You can joke about banging my wife, mom, or eating my cat, but leave Bitcoin alone😤
In other words, once again, thanks a lot @UncleMark
According to the IRS, out of every ten Americans audited how many pay more in taxes?
That could be the case, but without looking, that is where I would start. If it is all Medicare/SS driving it, then you have to look at increasing tax and/or decreasing benefits.
One cannot use the term "best candidate" for either. All smart people are voting based on the least least candidate (whomever that is). Anyone arguing one is "best", "great", "good" is talking out their $#3.
Mostly that they’re outcasts. Not politically aligned. Military complex self dealers. Etc
Outcasts? They're not outcasts? They're intelligent and accomplished people and long-term Republicans and no MAGA can cast them out. That's ridiculous.
You can tell yourself that, but you know better.
There is nothing dangerous about trump. Nothing. There is nothing dangerous about Harris. Nothing. Now if we get more defund and bail projects yes. But I doubt that is her bag this go around
Elon and Bill Ackman are two more off the top of my head. The trend I have noticed is Republicans who rely (or did) on the Government coffers are voting for Harris and Democrats who work in the private markets are voting for Trump.
Serious republicans to mark are the old military head types like Cheney McCain etc. good riddance
Regarding Musk, I can't think of anyone who has benefited from the government coffers more.
Musk would have been a billionaire with it or without it. Van Jones brings up the issues with your party.
Lol…he’s ok. The Dream Team welcomed him with open arms. He’s now a Republican, bought Twitter, and is giving away millions to ensure Democrats lose. Luckily, for you guys he doesn’t hold grudges.
That’s fine and encouraged by Democrats. He’s white and successful is the problem. Those f-#ckers end up voting for Republicans. Someone needs inform Harris or Biden that there are some white poeple in Africa. Those damn British colonizers. Always screwing everything up.
You know what this election is. It’s the black studies woke prof from the local accept everyone commuter college with her HOA rat partner vs Thornton Mellon. That’s it
for sure. trump is way closer to what dems like than the old military complex trickle down republicans
it's just personal disdain. nothing more. they're driven by emotions. we see it with some of our conservatives. bitter the old guard is out. hate trump bc he's what he is. awful. etc lol
