And here’s the reality

Taxing is irrelevant. It’s just done to uphold an illusion.
They print money at will without regard to the money coming in from taxpayers. We might as well say inflation is (whatever) percent of GDP. We will print that every year and that’s our budget. Do away with the IRS and any federal taxes.

The problem with that is our elected overlords can’t reward and punish us with the tax code if we do take.

Other way round. Money printing is absolutely taxation on people with money. They will absolutely be taxing certain people. Be careful what you wish for. If this stupid thing happens you'll be very very sorry.

Come on Evita. That would be 25-30% inflation the first year and only going up from there.

Wait til the Dems get the printing press and roll out universal income.

Argentina tried this and it didnt work....

Does that one sign in the top left corner say "Nazes"? Am I reading that correct?

It says NAZIS. The word is written where the paper folds. The fold makes it look like the I is an E.

This is how they operate already. Take away the pretend pay in with credits and put a budget on it where it’s spread across society evenly and I be a happy MFer

We’re doing it now. Except we play a shell game with the income tax system
I guess you missed the balanced budget part and no it won’t be 20-30%. They would have to establish the percentage first and live within it. With runaway Biden it was only 7%.
The real number would likely be 3-4%

The reported Biden inflation was betwen 9 and 10% from 7/21 to 6/22. The *real* Biden inflation numbers were several points higher than that (I went into lengthy accounting nerd detail about how the best buyers on the planet such as Wal Mart, Costco, and Home Depot ate into their LIFO layers because for the only time in history their costs exceeded CPI for the products they sell.)

If you get a balanced budget next year by cutting spending by $1.5T (aint going to happen but Ill play along) and set that as your baseline to stop taxing, you'll still be printing 2-2.5x peak Biden amounts of money. And that easily puts you into the range I was talking about. And that doesnt factor in your interest payments on your 36T (plus 5 to 6T of new debt annually) will increase exponentially, which will make you print more money....

The only way this idea works is cutting federal spending by 85-90%. You see the Rs voting to gut grandma or Boeing, Northrup, Lockheed, RTX, etc...

Argentina tried to print their way into prosperity and they wrecked a regionally strong economy for decades....

Damn, you didn't waste any time after the game.

Ha, was posted online. I've not been to the Tesla shop since the day I got my car.

Forest and trees.
Others failed with the system is the fault of overspending and not the system.
We can spend ourselves broke under the current system.
Actually that’s what we’re doing.
My way does away with the shell game we currently play with taxes.
Set a budget first. Allow for absolutely no extra in the form of debt. And cut down spending to reflect the budget.

My suggestion is simply a change in methodology.
We have a spending problem first and foremost.

It will hasten incredible inflation, which helps debtors and devalues savings. As someone who is completely out of debt, owns their own home, and has built up a large savings, it absolutely takes purchasing power out of my pockets.

DOGE is counting "savings" based on obligated funds, meaning without any analysis you can lop off probably 10% of those "savings" as very few contracts actually burn 100% of obligated funds.

With analysis you'll also find several hundred million more that do not count as "savings" as the funds were obligated but not going to be approved for spend for any number of reasons (requirements changed, contractor shut down, fiscal made an error logging the award, etc.). This is a problem as money gets tied up uselessly, but not savings. It's also how you see stories about X number of cut contracts won't result in any savings.

If we want to count deobligating funds as savings then I'm proud to report that over my last 3 years of work I've "saved" the taxpayers close to $200M on my own with a power automate flow and a couple excel sheets.

Really need to work on appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Really need to work on appealing to the lowest common denominator.

To appeal to this lowest common denominator, you will need to be shirtless in your Twitter profile pic to appeal to their homoerotic tendencies (i.e. zerohedge)....

So, checklist needed to appeal

1. Sirens
2. Breaking headline
3. All Caps
4. Exclamation points
5. Homoerotic profile pic

Things not needed

1. Facts or context
2. Experience
3. Firsthand knowledge

The profile pic is intriguing. We should give that a try here.

...You know, for grins and giggles.

The federal government was never supposed to become a huge employer. It should instead foster policies that allow and encourage production, which creates job that aren't just redistribution of taxpayer moneys.

I see this outfit, fostering their own pockets.
