The economy will be ok, but at what cost?

[Woodznutz]

Much of our economy is devoted to addressing illness, crime, war, and welfare, none of which portends a bright future for us. Solving these problems would lead to massive unemployment, market collapse, and social upheaval. "What fools these mortals be."

Holdover budgets from Obama and Biden who used massive debt to increase the size and power of government. The GOP unitl now has never done enough but now Trump is taking steps to reduce spending and democrats oppose it every step of the way because thats where their power comes from. Look at Minn as perfect example. The create poverty programs that are exploited by people who vote for democrats and kick back money to them to keep them in power.
rump fired 300000nuseless federal workers ands stopped many fake programs that served no purpose other than to advance democrat ideology.
