Actually it’s about the country
Debt to GDP ratio of over 100% over the long term is damaging the any nation and the standard of living of its citizens
With over 30 trillion in debt and near record inflation currently it’s mind boggling you don’t grasp that fact. And there’s no end in sight
But your posts on this subject do reflect the difficulty the elected class has in enacting real fiscal restraint. That’s why spending cuts won’t come from political leadership but market forces. Ultimately, math wins.
@LMAO No,it is really about priorities and balance.
Granted,there ARE some things (defense,roads,water,electricity,etc,etc,etc) that money MUST be spent on,but there are an awful lot of things in any budget that are really optional,and only included because some congresscritter is trying to buy votes,or trying to keep a failing business in his district from having to close the doors and put people out of work.
The truth is there ain't no such critter as a budget that is even going to please a majority of voters.
What MUST be done is priorities MUST be set,and the most important items need to be voted forward,even when (which is usually) there is too much "pork" attached.
From there we drop down to the money that SHOULD be spend to improve or restore America,and finally,assuming there is any money left over,money can be spent to buy votes.
It ain't pretty,but there are no perfect answers.
