Anonymous Coward User ID: 77728230 Netherlands 08/08/2020 07:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Almost every problem in the US is caused by the government. Rents and medical care are expensive because of regulations. The economy is collapsing because everyone is under house arrest. Tuition is expensive because of student loans. The debt is increasing because of wars and welfare. Airline tickets are expensive because foreign airlines cannot fly domestic routes. Puerto Rico couldn't recover from a hurricane faster because of the Jones Act. Prisons are crowded because everything is illegal. Families fall apart because females marry the state instead of a man. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79022352 United States 08/08/2020 08:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WTF? The entire country is committing suicide. Americans scream North Korea is evil for having torture and nuclear weapons, but the US also tortures and has nuclear bombs. Americans swear Obama was an asshole for supporting wars, debt, and the police state, but Trump also loves wars, debt, and tyranny. Americans say tyranny is wonderful, but Americans are completely unable to explain why the suicide rate is soaring. The very same Americans who insist Cuba is a shithole then turn around and say that the USA should become Communist. |

Yep! Absolutely correct! Government creates the so-called problems. Government creates the so-called research. Government creates the so-called answers. There is a cost (tax) for all steps involved... Rinse. Repeat. |

Debt didn’t work out too well for Rome, Germany, Japan, Greece, or Zimbabwe. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. |

Thank goodness people smarter and more knowledgeable than the average GLPer are in charge of this stuff. The total debt of the United States is about $26 trillion. Of that, $19.2 trillion is comprised of intragovernmental holdings (think: Social Security IOUs) and Treasury bonds, notes, and bills held by American institutions and individuals. So, 74% of our debt remains within our border. [link to www.bendbulletin.com (secure)] |
