The federal government has reached levels of ineptitude and corruption the likes of which have never been seen before by man. They are nearly $20 trillion in debt, have far exceeded the 18 enumerated powers they were authorized to oversee, and are now oppressing the very people they are supposed to answer to and represent.
Here's why we have 20 Trillion in debt, Short Pants.
We want government to do all this stuff.
We don't want to make the rich pay their fair share to do it.
That's why we have 20 Trillion in debt.
It's the same reason why we have 145 Trillion in debt in terms of mortgages, credit cards, etc. We want this stuff, we don't want to pay for it.
