Government brings in 4 trillion in taxes

Debt service is 600 million.

Plenty of money to pay its debt.

Talk about trashy low morals of government. I knew it was a corrupt and untrustworthy entity but this puts the spotlight on its complete sloth and sloppiness.[/quote]

By “it” you mean the Republican Party? [/quote]

Both parties are responsible for our sloppy, slovenly, trashy and insolvent government. Nobody is an adult. [/quote]

One party has passed bills that have a funding mechanism, and it wasn't the republicans. What was their offset to pay for the tax cuts, either in 2001 or 2017?

I'll wait here for the answer.[/quote]

4 trillion in current tax revenues is sufficient. Debt service is only 600 billion, easily paid for.  Figure out how to balance the budget without destroying the currency. [/quote]

DoD + Va is 1 trillion, Social Security is $800 million, Medicare is $1.7, add in the debt service and you're at $4 trillion without any other spending.

[/quote]DoD is ripe for cuts [/quote]

Biden should counter with DoD cuts and tax increases, but DoD's budget is sacrosanct for some reason [/quote]

And Republicans protested vigorously during the State of the Union that Social Security and Medicare were off the table. So, without debt service, defense spending, Social Security, Medicare, or tax increases; there aren't a lot of viable, tolerable options. [/quote]
