Because the country is in insane amounts of debt? Like trillions?! … and I know you can take the Graber/Debt: The First 5,000 Years approach and say it’s all made up and every emperor in history cancelled debt and blah blah blah communism .. blah blah .. I don’t want to pay my student loans even thought they’re only $10k.
Sure, debt is a social construct, but it’s also a representation of faith and belief in institutions. I do like the few current GOP members (MTG, Bobart/event though she missed the debt ceiling vote, Gaetz, Paul) are at least trying to say “Hey, let’s fucking stop spending!” The US government is solidly into the red, to the point where issuing new debt is eroding trust both internally and externally.
We’re seeing a lot of countries not wanting to trade petrol in the dollar anymore, and that’s ultimately devalues everyone who still does trade petrol in the dollar.
We should be cutting the unnecessary. Every fucking thing. If they ask for everything and only get school lunches, should they back down? Probably not .. take it and cut some more. The more the government gives you, the more you are their slave. The more the people do for themselves, the more they realize they don’t need the government. You should be able to feed your fucking kids!
