They’ve been watching since Nixon. But they still keep cashing our checks, so they can’t be that upset.
It’s the other way around. The US national debt is more than it’s GDP. Where do you think they borrow that money from. We just don’t want the US as an enemy because we want our money back. And so far the US has been the only country fucked up enough to drop not just one, but 2 nukes, not to wipe out military targets but 2 entire cities.
I didn’t know the fact above. Assumed more. But for a familiar scale that’s like a $13,000 auto loan of an average income household.
That means the big scary national debt could be paid off fairly quickly with only a marginally higher tax burden to the biggest corporations. We may need to do that if, for example, a bunch of political grifters wreck our credit.

The large majority (73.1%) of US debt is owned domestically. US foreign debt is well, well below GDP: https://usafacts.org/articles/which-countries-own-the-most-us-debt/
26.9% still is a lot of money.

NOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO! Only tax the poor. How dare you speak those words.
As if the US will ever pay off its debt. They only want more money. “What are you gonna do about it?”
We call that “for funsies” in the States. You ever hear of the Amchitka Island Nuclear Tests? Those seals had it coming!! /s
Now it makes sense why so many preachers say that “it is wrong to kill baby for fun”
I mean… besides implying that there are “no fun” reasons to kill a baby that is justified, like when God commands israel to do so.
