Its impressive how stupid people are about things.
Even if they took all the billionaires money (impossible) it would barely pay for a single year of the debt service on the national debt. For those who forgot how go count a trillion is 1000 billion.
Tax receipts have risen from 3T to 4.7T in a decade with the majority of that coming post covid stimulus with the wage increases that went out during that time. The US Government is running on a pretty hefty deficit and on track to spend 6.75T this year.
Fed balance sheet during same period.
The problem is not one wants to face the reality of covid. The fed chart is actually so fucking absurd it's hard to believe its reality and thats the fantasy world everyone lives in.
4T poofed into existence out of thin air.
Everything is fucked up and broken right now and the only reason everyone isn't feeling it is because of the insane debt apparatus here in the US. One day those debts need to be repaid, you can't continually go further and further into debt as a person, a business or a country.
