39 trillion dollars and climbing. If the FED doesnt lower interest rates, the United States will be no more.

America does not look like a nation in fiscal distress; and that is precisely the problem. Markets remain resilient, unemployment is low, and government benefits continue to flow. Yet beneath this stability lies a rapidly worsening fiscal trajectory that economists and budget watchdogs increasingly warn is unsustainable.

The interest on the debt is 1.9 trillion dollars a year, while spending is down for government programs. Like i said if the FED doesnt lower interest rates like Janet Yellow did back for Obama so the rich could get richer, we the people will lose the dollar. Then what? Cities will burn as savages will get hungry and start looting food pantries and other stores. Oh wait, that happened under Joe Biden's watch. The leftists will blame President Trump, but we know that Democrats so hope the country goes down the shitter.

In The Nation, sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven introduced the Cloward-Piven strategy, a political approach aimed at creating chaos to prompt a political crisis that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and an end to poverty. Fast forward to the present day, and some argue that the events of the past year, including the COVID-19 pandemic and allegations of a rigged election, echo the principles of Cloward-Piven, resulting in a significant shift in American leadership and direction.

The objective of Cloward-Piven is clear: induce chaos and turmoil with the ultimate goal of recruiting the poor onto the welfare rolls. According to the sociologists, a federal program of income redistribution becomes necessary to lift the poor en masse from poverty once chaos is established. This perspective sheds light on recent developments, particularly the response to the pandemic and the measures taken by the government.

Just might not end well with Democrats if the country tanks.

the United States will be no more.​

The very point of the exercise .
And Trumpfy is the Deep State guy appointed to set up the stage production .
And the irony is that the more obvious the Theatre is , the more the Sheeple simply ignore what is staring them in their collective face and follow any old soap opera narrative that they are fed -- presently the war with Iran .

When did you become aware of this issue?

The Fed doesn’t directly set the interest rate on U.S. debt—that’s determined by the market when Treasuries are auctioned.

 

[SaxonJackson]

Even if the FED did lower interest rates ... America is done if she remains on her current course. She can't even keep up with the interest. $1 Million added to the National Debt every 15 seconds. America has ZERO money to pay down the debt but plenty of extra dough to send to Ukraine, Israel, Brazil, and a bunch of other nations that hate America. Oh ... and lots of extra cash starting wars that cost more than $1 Billion per day.

Unless like Janet Yellow, FED bought up those treasuries driving rates down to 0%. I know you dont remember, selective ignorance is what you democrats thrive on.

Of course if you stopped paying welfare to people able to work, then the revenues of taxes would increase while the payouts of welfare would cease. Also you wouldnt need a whole bloated agency of PORK costing tax payers that money also.

1. Clinton had a two year lifetime limit on Welfare, that got changed to a free ride, put it back to 2-years
2. I'd phase Welfare back to the states, its not in the Constitution.
3. States run unemployment offices, they could put people to work.

Good points. In other words, America needs to "Make Common Sense Great Again." D.C. has completely lost its course. Wisdom, integrity, frugality, restraint, and sound judgement are lost amongst the weeds. If they aren't rediscovered then we may as well kiss America goodbye.

Of course if you stopped giving tax breaks to billionaires then the deficit wouldn't be multiplying.

Welfare isn't driving up the deficit. Tax cuts for the wealthy are bankrupting your treasury.

This problem has been brought about, & added to, by both The Democrats, & Republicans, and it has become so complicated, by the many Acts, &/or "Lack of Action, that the "BRICS Nations", as well as the growing number of Nations that wish to join with them,... will soon present to the World, an alternative to "Th' Dollar", that is actually backed by Gold & Commodities,..... Rather than a "Promise to Pay", & America's Military.

Ever since 9-11, both the Democrats, & Republicans , are Equally Guilty of systematically destroying the Dollar, & Our Economy.

There's been Republicans and Democrats in office to reach this point. Trying to blame one is comical

It's sad that neither side will hold their side accountable also.

Democrats by policy and design, republicans by acquiescence.

What % of the pie do you think goes to welfare?

No solid evidence supports the OP.

There's more involved in the catastrophic problems with the dollar/economy than just the interest on the unpayable debt, & welfare.
