How do you balance the budget without

How do you balance the budget without
-Attacking the poor
-Cutting the fuck out of science and handing our leadership to china
-Gutting mediaid that helps millions of people including old in nursing homes.
on and on.

I say the only way is space colonization and mining of the resources of space. We'll have to double or triple the size of our economy at a minimum. We can only do this with the ability to expand our resources and ability to control industries. Space.

The poor don't pay income tax. No tax on tips, OT, or on SS helps the working poor.
Tariffs cut into China's cash, corporations fund science, real science.
Medicaid isn't gutted, only the ineligible are removed.
Space mining may happen after we figure out how to do it as cheaply as on Earth.

That absurd nuclear option is what it might come down to. The biggest loser will be your importers and foreign investors.

Do it once, get the debt to nothing and in the process, devalue the actual money you pay out since the dollar would plummet.

Get your debt down to single digits and pray.

This is why for the record, getting manufacturing back to America and growing your economy at 3%+ would be a big deal

As long as you keep funding DOD and the richies, you will never balance the budget.

Obamacare exponentially expands Medicaid, so there is no way to balance anything with the current system.

But Trump is too afraid to touch it because he will be demonized for it in the midterms as the DNC takes over for Impeachment 3.0.

So, the Republic ends up going bankrupt eventually as no one will get anything once all the money is worth nothing.

Then the tyrants Soros has lined up will take over.

Trump 45 did it or got closer to a balanced budget without hurting anybody. And if you are capable of intellectual honesty, you'll be able to watch Trump 47 do it.

The "social safety net" needs to be pared back, way back.
1. SS needs the cap raised
2. Medicare seems okay now for a while, but remove the ineligible.
3. Medicaid needs ineligible removed and a work requirement added
4. Welfare needs to have a 2-year lifetime limit like Clinton added, and the ineligible removed, AND the cost shared 50/50 with the states, so they put people to work.

How is 5$T excess balancing the budget?

Nope. It’s the freebies and massive government. Cut the government in half.

I agree with the cutting, if not the half. Richie welfare is the major problem, yes.

Trump 45 did not balance the budget he increased national debt.

President Trump Breaks His Promise to Balance the Budget

For years, President Trump has railed against the national debt and, during the presidential campaign, he promised Americans he would balance the budget:

How Much Did President Trump Add to the Debt? | Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget

2024-01-10-Note: We published a more comprehensive, up-to-date

www.crfb.org

In the recent GOP primary presidential debate, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley claimed that President Trump added $8 trillion to the national debt while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that President Trump added $7.8 trillion to the debt. These statements are true, depending on how you measure additions to the debt. We estimate the ten-year cost of the legislation and executive actions President Trump signed into law was about $8.4 trillion, with interest.

When you sat Richie welfare, are you referring to government subsidies on corporations?

As well as tax cuts, yes.

Trump is not going to do that.

Most, if not all politicians, view that as political suicide even if it needs to be done to save the Republic.

Exactly. The Freedom Caucus knows what to do, but won't be allowed to save us from bankruptcy.

When will the dollar crash, $40T, $45T, $50T?

Means test social security. Cut defense. Get rid of Medicare Advantage.

Raise taxes.

Rich welfare is not the problem. The issue with your thinking is you believe we can tax the rich and the politicians will use the revenue to pay of the debt. They won’t. They’ll buy votes to get re elected. It’s been proven time and time again.

Not sure what you’re talking about. Trump increased the deficit every year he was in office.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yeah richie welfare is a big part of the problem.
