Some of us knew when the 'budget' got jacked up from $4.5 trillion to $7 trillion virtually overnight and never reduced back down after Covid ended that the corrupt government was stealing billions.
Because many politicians, and all Democrats LOVE inflation, lol.
Consider------------->average income in 1970? Average income today? The income today can hardly buy you what the average income of 1970 could buy you then, and yet it pushed everyone into a higher tax bracket. Now you know why, and every FINANCIAL PLANNER on this site......if they actually are a financial planner.....knows it!
Also, because the money is INFLATED, it actually lowers the cost of the real debt. You are repaying the borrowed dollars with dollars worth less! It is a shell game that government plays.
And then of course--------->when the government prints more money, who do you actually think ends up with that money, lol? In a round about way, the GOVERNMENT does, and then they spend it without raising taxes so as YOU, MR/MZ/MISS/MRS America, don't get all pi**ed off. They claim it is ECONOMIC STIMULUS to spend money for their favorite causes. The fact is----->it is a TAX on you, because now every dollar you have in your possession, is worth LESS than it was before they printed the new money, and they are in possession of the NEW MONEY they printed, not you!
The politicians are crooked as the day is long, and if the Democrats were smart, they would help wring out all of this wasteful spending.
