This nation will never get out of debt. Spend spend spend with no intention of ever balancing the budget. It’s unsustainable.
Our government is reckless and out of control.
I used to be concerned about the US debt. It was always one of my top agenda items. But I've finally given up. I feel we're past the point of no return. And that was before all these stimulus packages. We have become a debtor nation with a growing population of dependence and a government eager to encourage it.
My only hope now is that Uncle Joe will send me some money to pay the last of my significant others college student loan.
Our government is reckless yes, but out of control ? No. It is increasing under the control of social media companies and Chinese government influence.
“Banish wisdom, discard knowledge,
And the people will be benefited a hundredfold.
Banish human kindness, discard morality,
And the people will be dutiful and compassionate.
Banish skill, discard profit,
And thieves and robbers will disappear.
If when these three things are done they find life too plain and unadorned,
Then let them have accessories;
Give them Simplicity to look at, the Uncarved Block to hold,
Give them selflessness and fewness of desires.
Banish learning, and there will be no more grieving.”

No idea what that means. Taoism?
