From Surplus to $40 Trillion Debt in One Generation

I know!

Let's cut future increases in spending!

That always works!

That dork and fascist little twerp Anthony Fauci owes this country about 7 trillion dollars.

Then we had DOGE come in and eliminate billions in waste only for courts to rule that "wasting taxpayer money is a legitimate function of the government actually".

So it's time to just stop using dollars and move to a gold silver Bitcoin financial system that can't be manipulated like this.

The savers will prosper, the wasters will be forever broke and there will be no welfare to save them.

US Army to Shut Down European Unit Focused on Drone Warfare

Does this make sense to anyone?

Only if it's part of the continuing Trump pattern of behavior designed to leave our defenses wide open to attack.

It is reasonable to assume, based on his behavior (cyber defenses, anyone?), that Trump wants the US to be attacked. Convenient for that National Emergency, which will begin his full dictatorship.

Enrollment in SNAP Is Dropping Faster Than Expected

"In Phoenix, LaDiamond Lopez lost her benefits in January, with officials telling her she needed more documentation about her income and household " something that's needed for officials to determine whether enrollees meet work requirements.

She's been skipping meals and some bill payments to ensure her children have enough to eat."

This doesn't really tell us anything unless you're someone who has been through this personally.

What does "more documentation" mean? what exactly are they asking for?

Trump Admin Knew About Peeling Liner Before Vandalism Charge

The attorney who brought these charges should be charged with a federal crime.

""This information " that the piece of liner peeled by the defendant was overspray, of little or no value " was first furnished to the prosecutors weeks after the grand jury indicted the defendant.""

The attorney who convened the grand jury should be charged with a federal crime.

Pedo 47 Threatens To Unleash Military On Bond Market

Look. Donald Trump wants to unleash the military on EVERYONE. That's part of the whole dictator bag. He doesn't even have to have a sane understanding of what he means by it in this instance. His point is to assert dominance by barking.

But if he did unleash the military on the bond market it would take the form of arrests of individuals he believes thwart him, their incarceration in military bases, and then trials by military tribunals.

He's threatened all these things before, so don't look so shocked.

Navy Weighs Renaming Carrier Slated to Honor Black War Hero

Apparently AI doesn't know Chester Nimitz was not a president. But then neither was Carl Vinson or John Stennis. But they were all white.

Navy Weighs Renaming Carrier Slated to Honor Black War Hero

FYI:

AI Overview The U.S. Navy started naming aircraft carriers after presidents in 1945, with the commissioning of the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42).The Evolution of Carrier NamingWorld War II and Prior: Early aircraft carriers were named after historic naval battles (like Yorktown or Lexington) or famous earlier Navy ships (like Enterprise).The First Presidential Carrier: President Franklin D. Roosevelt died in April 1945, and the Navy renamed a Midway-class carrier in his honor shortly before it was commissioned in October 1945.Gradual Tradition: After Roosevelt, the practice was used sparingly at first"such as with the USS John F. Kennedy in 1967"before becoming a more common standard for later nuclear-powered Nimitz and Ford-class carriers (like the USS Nimitz or USS Abraham Lincoln)

But it takes assets to repay the loans.

#36 | Posted by Danforth

When you die and your assets (like stocks) get passed to your heirs the basis gets "stepped up". So if you were to those stocks are sold the day before you die, then you have to pay taxes on the gains. But if your heirs sell them the day they inherit them, they owe no taxes. So they can sell whatever is necessary to pay off the loans with the results that no taxes are paid.

Then, as those assets the heirs inherited appreciate, those heirs can fund their lifestyle with loans (backed by those assets) and pay no taxes until they die. Then their heirs sell enough assets to pay off the loans, paying no taxes in the process, and the cycle continues.

That is how the rich can pay no taxes, how the system is rigged in their favor.

DOJ to Question FBI Officials Tied to Search of Mar-a-Lago

The Trump regime's ideas about anyone associated with legal investigations into its 34-times convicted felon and adjudicated sexual abuser weirdly verge on the kind of thinking one sees reflected of the charges of Moharebeh ("waging war against God") and Mofsed-e-filarz ("spreading corruption on earth") lodged in Iran's corrupted courts.

the annual service on that debt is now more than we spend on Defense.

Been saying this since I arrived on this site 5yrs ago. But neither side wants to fix the problem, one just raise taxes, the other stop spending.
Neither will happen.

US just raised most revenue in its history, US just spent more than it ever had due to mandatory spending.

Never heard of this ridiculous premise framing it as 0 to a 40 trillion though.
Must be that Danforth math at work. The US already owed 4-6trillion.

The US never stopped selling treasuries, despite the supposed "surplus."

Boomers always thinking its everyone else's fault. Boomers it's you, and only you, the spending spree started under you and hasn't stopped under you.

Maybe this is a good time to bring up the fact trillions of dollars of tax cuts were expiring, and the OBBB extended them.

And, of course, whenever you're running a deficit budget, and choose to extend otherwise expiring tax cuts, that represents 100% new, additional borrowing. Extending the expiring cuts will cost over $2 trillion, plus service costs, of course.

All newly borrowed, and almost all to give away in tax cuts to the world's wealthiest.
