I know I know it isn't over yet, but unless they can pull off a miracle and turn arizona and Nevada, it is probably done.
For all you Biden fans, welcome to a much more progressive (read socialist) federal government. Remember the famous words of Margaret Thatcher: "Socialism is a marvelous form of government, until you run out of other peoples money to spend." We have been running a semi socialist federal government since the time of FDR. Let us look at some of the results:
1. a $27.2 trillion dollar national debt. that works out to $215,000/taxpayer
2. state and local debt at $3.3 trillion . that is a little over $10,000/taxpayer
3. Including armed forces we have 23,852,000 govt workers
4. the federal govt has an unfunded liability of $155.2 trillion dollars or $470,000/citizen
5. Past fiscal year we paid $381,000,000,000 on the federal debt. that is the largest spending amount after Medicare, social security and defense.
6. Medicare (1) Social Security (2) defense (3) debt payment (4) total of $3.57 trillion of the national budget.
7. OUr government has intentionally devalued the US Dollar. in 1900 a $20 bill =$20 gold piece and you could buy a fine tailored suit with either. Today, you can still buy a fine tailored suit with a $20 gold pice, but it would take close to $1,600 US dollars to buy that suit.
Be careful what you deisre, when you get it, you may not like what you really get!
