lol ... let's turn off the tap of major tax income from the wealthy and instead try to bleed our dried our poor to fund our enormous military machine. And once we can't do that any more .... we'll just make money out of thin air.
I wonder how long this house of cards is going to last.
Bleed the poor and middle class dry, and while you are at it make it illegal to be broke and homeless.
Got to keep the poor's working either in the office or in jail.
Use this combined with 13th amendment and you got yourself money making cheat.
Not thin air, military conquest. That's how this always ends up.
They better do it fast before the money dries up
What do you think Blitzkrieg really was about? BTW they are already getting into the ~~Sudetenland~~ Gaza.
Gaza, Greenland, Panama, Canada... Trump's military is going to be stretched super thin.
I'm sure buddies like Erik Prince will be waiting to help him out though.
