    The big question is; why do we have a 30 Trillion debt in the first place? Can these people (From both sides) manage the Nations Tax's? Who can we tax payers trust???

      They aren't managing the tax rates properly you are right. We need to raise taxes on the rich people who have all the wealth and not pretend like we can't afford simple things.

    • @TheOleHermit
      @TheOleHermit Год назад +6

      We have that $30T debt because of:
      a) Decades worth of failed Reaganomics, which NEVER trickles down to the most needy, but ALWAYS benefits the filthy rich who don't need the tax breaks and who aren't contributing their fair share of income, in order to fund the US government with sufficient revenues to provide the services (infrastructure, education, healthcare, environmental protections, etc).
      b) The costs related to the 20 years worth of Bush/Cheney's Middle East warmongering and failed 'nation building'.
      c) FEMA's costs for providing emergency resources for environmental disaster recovery for people living in hurricane/tornado/wildfire/super storm events, which are increasing in quantities and severity, due to climate change. Scientists have been warning US for 1/2 century, but have only been ignored. So, now mankind is going to pay for it own willful ignorance and greed.

    "It is a grave disappointment to many people that the world is so full of conflict. There is a general hope that when you came to the world it would be as peaceful, as wonderful and as inclusive as your Ancient Home. But what you find instead is conflict, dissension, turmoil... warfare, competition, alienation... experienced on an individual and collective level. This is the world you have come to serve.... This is the condition of the world. .. People are still very much in their tribal state of mind... Do not think that perfection can be achieved on the physical plane, but great improvement can be, and this is the nature and purpose of your arrival here... How do you face this, and what is your responsibility here? The response... exists within a secret intelligence that lives within you, which we call Knowledge." (Marshall Vian Summers, Wisdom from the Greater Community Book 2)

    This is what is wrong with politics. Platitudes don’t work say what you mean. Say I would like to see it first to move forward but I support Joe Biden. To many of your party need to take a step age from trump and speak plain.

      tRump was known as the liar in chief, with over 5000 documented lies , according to Politico's fact checks. In fact, his gaslighting over COVID got ~400,000 of his own anti-vaxxer supporters killed, according to recent data.
      Citizens United, dark money superPACs, and ignorant voters is what's wrong with American politics.
