I don't want to hear about national debt from a politician ever again. Doge fixed it all, were doing great. Kindly fuck off.

Im doing whatever I can to not work. My family and friends are more important to me than any job.

What can you possibly offer to me that would make that math change? Threats? There's more of us than you buddy. There's a reason its "eat the rich" and not tax them. We dont need you, you need us.

If necromancy was a thing, they would make us work even after dying

If we WANT to Fix the Debt we need to ~~Tax like 5 REALLY Rich People!~~ Get RID of Retirement!

There is the pool of people that are looking for a job but currently doesn't have a job. There you have many unexploited work hours. Start there genius.

Also set a 99% tax rate on wealthy people.

Now that would generate more $ for the economy.

Unfortunately our work doesn't go towards the debt. It goes to making the rich richer.

Yeah I didn't make that debt. You pay it.

It would generate $3T for the US Economy

Isn't this one of the assholes insisting AI is going to take all our jobs? Why do you suddenly need 17-year-olds in the workforce and 67-year-olds delaying their retirement if Computers Are Gonna Do It in another ten years?

Nevermind the baby-brained cost-benefit analysis of pulling in under-educated teenagers for low margin labor or stalling burnouts from leaving the workforce. "Work Harder, Not Smarter" appears to be the motto of the modern capitalist.

Motherfucker you're a surgeon, not an economist

The plan is to physically destroy yourself to fix an entirely imaginary problem.

The ‘National Debt’ is merely the cumulative tally of money that nation’s government has ‘spent’ into, and not yet taxed out of, existence. It imposes no tangible burden, and believing it does helps the owning class convince the uninitiated to choose and work against their own interests.

Dude who can't even be trusted in his primary field of study is now slowly drifting out of his lane. How long before he starts talking about AI too?

Or just allow more immigrants into the economy. Then our GDP would grow.

who gives a shit about your stupid debt. if you have debt ask your billionaire friends to spot you.

Increased productivity means jack shit when the results of said productivity are being sucked up by people at the top.

My favorite are the ones that complain about how nobody wants to work and everybody's lazy. Yet, they themselves stopped working in their mid-50s after fighting for years to get on disability for their unhealthy lifestyles (obesity & cigarettes).

This is why I've been not purchasing much anymore. Beyond food and what I need for work as well as shelter, there's not much else to spend money on. I've developed some hobbies and I'm focusing more on the good they do for me.

Why is it that they always talk about giving the working class more work? It is another conondrum where the borguoise are put once again as the victims - erasing all their wrongdoings because of their fault.

The extension they're giving to the working life isn't a novelty anymore. It should be quite clearcut that they're manipulating people just to pay off their debt.

What really matters is what the people are going to do - as long as the misinformation campaigns and indoctrination to wage slavery continue, shit like this will continue as well. Its up to the people to decide when that tipping point will be reached - if it does.

Fuck the debt, but since we're living longer we should be contributing to society longer. Not amazon, but something like growing weed in your basement. Or crops in backyard for farmers market.

How about we institute a wealth tax, uncap social security taxes, halve the defense budget, and roll out medicare for all instead.

Edit: retracted- it's much more the boomers, I misspoke

Anyone who thinks a currency-issuing country like the US would be better off by taking $3 trillion OUT OF CIRCULATION, thereby making the American public $3 trillion POORER clearly shows that they understand NOTHING about how economies work.

Is he saying that USA plan to borrow $3 trillion this year ? Because last year it was $1 trillion dollars.
Where the fuck are we all going ? Where are the limits ?

Or we could kill all the Sociopathic Oligarchs and their families, and repatriate their stolen wealth. If anyone starts to earn more than, say, $10 million dollars, their entire family gets executed, and their wealth repatriated.

They won't be able to give it away fast enough.

You can really tell that no one actually criticizes these people to their faces. Who says this shit? I would be roasted for weeks for saying anything that stupid in a public place.
