The interest on our debt is close to a trillion dollars a year. We are sending hundreds of billions of dollars to fight foreign wars. Is this aid a loan with interest payments attached? Is there any tangible collateral for the aid? Will we ever get paid back?
Explain to me a business that would borrow money with interest to give away to someone else without getting any payment or promise of payment in return. You would go bankrupt in the real world.
Instead of balancing our budget our politicians print money to give away to others. The printed money causes inflation for goods and services that taxpayers need. The taxpayer is responsible for that debt and the interest paid on it. As an added kick in the groin, each dollar they make or have is devalued.
I say America first, and no more funding or fighting foreign wars. You can say what you want about Trump, but he gave us four years of prosperity and no new foreign wars. That part of his legacy I sorely miss.
The greatest heist in history, the Federal Reserve, is about to complete its task.
Since 1913, the USD has been issued as a loan by the private Federal Reserve and the taxpayer must pay an interest after it, plus secure the "loan" with all his "assets, life, and limbs," according to such contracts. The money usually goes to the government and to friends and family, and both can spend it as they wish. For example, only four percent of the "pandemic relief" funds went to the people, who received $600 a week for four months.
The central bankers are controlling all governments worldwide by controlling the money flow. As a result, all governments are usurpers for a foreign power.
Currently, the controlled demolition of the USD is taking place, because the CBDC can be forced on people only after a wheelbarrowful of banknotes fail to buy a loaf of bread. Inflation is under control only by recycling the money, as people are paying for their own demise in taxes, hell-care, and through investment firms that rip them off (especially pension funds are in constantly grave danger).
Bert, you are 1000% right on this. The Biden Administration will give free stuff away to anyone except deserving Americans...
