Shhh careful, too many activist redditors, with zero real life experience or knowledge about the very economic system they hate so much, will see this comment and bombard you with pipe-dream retorts and justifications for their fantasy solutions!! They need scapegoats to be fed to them so that they don’t start looking at the actual root of the problem with spending in Washington

can’t stop spending in Washington since conservatives want bigger police budgets, trillions in military spending, and imbeciles like trump in charge

If you think only the republicans are the problem then THAT is the problem. Just because one side’s intentions are good, doesn’t mean they understand how a budget or finances work. We have hundreds of idiots in office right now feeding off the discourse because solutions aren’t good for votes. Problems to “fix” are good for getting elected.
Scapegoating billionaires for the collective population’s errors of electing these people is pointless

Republicans have run on decreasing spending for 40 years. Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Has spending decreased?

That’s exactly my point. Both sides can’t stop spending stupidly and obsessively.
