I wasn’t super thrilled about the idea myself, but with the ability to disable it I figured I’d give it a try.

Personally it’s a really cool feature that adds to the experience.

I mean, yeah. Putin wants the US to do nothing and give them Ukraine, Ukraine wants the US to stay committed to past agreements and do something.

While the amount of debt has been ever growing, it hasn’t relative to GDP. When it has grown, it’s grown primarily due to policies from Bush and Trump. Both of these president’s also passed massive tax breaks which is a significant contributing factor to the national debt.

At the end of the day, the national debt only matters if we can’t pay it. All the cuts being made to federal spending right now are more significant because they will slow down the economy and cause reverberations for years to come (public research and investment are multipliers for the economy in many ways).

As you call out, we should be taxing billionaires, which points to the larger economic concern right now for America - economic disparity.

You’ve really bought into the propaganda there, besides Clinton our national debt has always been the “highest” every year. The most important factor is foreign vs domestically held debt, and that ratio hasn’t changed for the worse.

Obviously we have some spending concerns, but financially that’s not the primary concern for the US right now (and we wouldn’t be talking tax cuts if it was).

Actually the US owns most of the debt. That’s part time of the reason it’s not seen as risky as theyre effectively and iou to themselves.

Your comment is exactly the point I was trying to make. The world is complex and imperfect, so anyone with the power/responsibility of a president is going to do controversial things.

I definitely read that as Turok Tutu

This has nothing to do with the federal budget. Congress already appropriated the money, this is just straight up evil.

I mean we absolutely could call out their flaws too, someone with that much power/responsibility is going to do abhorrent things (drone strikes with Obama being an easy one to bring up). Just like the four on Mount Rushmore these things aren’t what we typically call out because they either were “of the times” or not on the same scale as their accomplishments.

It’s high risk/high reward, vs low risk/low reward for lower income households. However I’m sure there are things like qoutas, etc. that push auditors to go after the easy wins.

Not to mention you loose some big cases against wealthy people cause they have a lot of money, and they come after your job or make the IRS look ineffective.

People also seem to forget that we’re basically using Ukrainians as cannon fodder so the US and Europe don’t have to put our troops on the line to hold back Russia (not that Trump cares about keeping Russia in check).
