Then why were you arguing that our federal government is in need of borrowing money or being funded by our tax dollars? Local and state governments are in need of being funded by taxes and the federal government, but Washington DC is the exclusive issuer of the USD, creating it ex-nihilo, it doesn't need to borrow money as we do as users of the currency. The fact that taxes serve to take money out of the economy (helping to regulate inflation and maintaining the value of the dollar), isn't equivalent to taxes funding our federal government nor does it reflect a need for taxes in the way right-wingers (and many Democrats as well) often erroneously assert.
Fearmongering about our federal government becoming insolvent or bankrupt is misleading at best.
1) Manufacturing Renaissance & Automation:
Top Three National Infrastructural Priorities:
Reindustrialization: Prioritize high-tech sectors including semiconductors, robotics, and advanced materials for a robust domestic manufacturing base.
Automated Production: Heavily invest in technology that automates production processes, from food harvesting robots to automated assembly lines, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and scale.
Vocational Training: Provide nationwide training programs focused on upskilling the workforce for the automated future.
Increase funding for Job-Corps and eliminate its age-cap, making all Americans eligible for training:

Then why were you arguing that our federal government is in need of borrowing money or being funded by our tax dollars?
Because they do need tax dollars and borrowing.
Saying they can print instead is just stupid.
The fact that taxes serve to take money out of the economy (helping to regulate inflation and maintaining the value of the dollar), isn't equivalent to taxes funding our federal government
They need to tax because 100% printing turns a currency into unusable shit.
Thanks for the list of "investments".
Now what about your secret ways to end inflation?
