As I said before, the USA will never have a single year that it runs less than a $1 Trillion deficit, let alone a balanced budget. Or a surplus It's impossible now. We spend over $1 Trillion per year on interest alone and that just will just keep growing. Most people can't even fathom what $1 Trillion per year even is. And we buy NOTHING with it.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: SIGNY: In FY 2023, the federal government spent .... JSF: Trump was not President in 2023. Trump was not President in 2022, when the FY started. Trump was not President in 2021, when the Budget was being legislated. Try to stay on topic. Quit jumping around to unrelated topic. It does not further discussion. eta: all I was getting from the site were error messages. By opening another window, I could see that posts were being made, but not what the posts were or who from. Seems to be better now. Yet more interruptions in the midst of trying to have ongoing discussions.

But they won't ever do that. Democrats had all that extra IRS money and agents that they voted for and all that's ended up in is adding more to the yearly deficit. STOP SPENDING SO MUCH FUCKING MONEY. #1 fix? Get the millions of illegal invaders out of our country starting today. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

Having looked at many economic and political systemz, I've come to realize that ANY system can be, and has been, corrupted. Libertatianism, IMHO, corrupts faster than most because there are no moral, legal, or practical limits to it.[corruption] In order for libertarianism to function as I think it's supposed to, there must be healthy competition among relatively small economic units. But POWER AND WEALTH CONCENTRATE. They don't disperse, they behave gravitationally... the more you have, the more you get. Power and wealth concentrate into fewer and fewer hands until you have the USA today... an oligarchy. If a government has any function under libertarianism, aside from defending the borders and setting the general laws of society ... I imagine it would be to enforce competition. Unfortunately, since the one thing most businesses hate is competition, big businesses have the money and influence to continue monopolizing more and more. It's a conundrum. Our government has 2 jobs, and it's failed miserably at both of them. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.
