Do American care about another few hundred billion in debt? The interest on past debt is a trillion dollars, Biden proposed a 4T inflation reduction bill, which the interest would be more than 200b on.

Every politician takes on more debt than the last, so I assumed Americans don’t care about debt loads.

Spending 1.2 Trillion fixing roads, airports and ports? Thats like literally the purpose of forming a government. Im not sure where you got the 4T from. That was the tax deficit spending included in the BBB 2025.

Yes we spend 900 billion a year on interest so where are we coming up with 200B for hand outs?

Yes the people keep voting morons into congress and have set up perverse incentives for them to rob us. Yes it still makes me upset every time.

So yes some of us Americans do care about the congress being able to pass a sensible budget. The debt won’t stop growing if they don’t stop giving everyone handouts. I deeply care that the next 3 generations will still be paying for the Iraq War and Bush Tax cuts, now they get Iran and trump tax cuts.

No I have no idea how to stop the insanity.

Are you sure you are the majority? I can empathize with people who do care about suitability of finances but are stuck with people who dont.

I cannot defend the population that cannot understand that a tariff is consumption tax. But like maybe 20% of us still do. And that’s like 70 million people.

Well heres a far left economist who says they are basically a VAT tax, which is consumption yes. However he outlines that exporters do absorb some of the cost, but its mainly been US business absorbing the tariffs.

If you’re a left leaning person isnt that good, cant the government now distribute that money and cut less programs as corporations absorb much of the cost?
