@walterpierce6061 Not harassment, you just don't want to admit you're wrong.

That's right, fight against logic. Keep listening to the Rosy news that gives you a false sense of security.

They (FEDS) are raising interest to cover an expense that they made themselves by loaning money to the Federal government, or in actuality themselves, and charging the expense to the taxpayer at a higher interest rate for Federal monies spent. The government, meaning us, has to pay that back with interest. See how that works? The money would not have been needed if the government had kept their noses out of things and let businesses keep their doors open. They would get more back had they not diluted the economy with money that requires more tax dollars to repay because it has higher interest attached to it. Thus inflation is the result. Spending more is INFLATION, not the answer! See how that works? We wouldn't have to catch up on anything if the government only spent what it takes in. Pandemic spending was unnecessary and some of the people getting it still didn't pay their rent with it, and to this day have not paid that rent back. How is that good for the economy? Trying to account for money that was distributed during the pandemic and not being used for that specific purpose is like trying to catch a bunch of pigs that broke out on a farm, you will never catch them all. You can try, but do you think the government can justify 87,000 new armed IRS agents to do this? More expenditures are not the answer, less government is. Think about that one.

Do you also play an Air Guitar and call yourself a musician?

@etchalaco9971 Do you ever make smart statements? Printing more money is about as stupid a comment as there could be, and you made it. Where do you think inflation comes from?

@etchalaco9971 How do you figure more public spending creates more jobs? Public spending comes from the PUBLIC, and that would be tax-paying citizens. Pay the lazy is that your point? Printing money is nothing more than inflation. Is not ideology, it is common sense. You also say that TRUMP gave to the rich. Where did he get it from? How much? Could it be it was it in tax incentives and authored by the IRS as an endorsement, or supported by the House and Senate in the budget? By the way, when TRUMP was President, the entire Congress was a Democratic Majority, so how did he "Give the rich money unless it was approved and endorsed by the House and Senate? Last question(s): Who hires the people to work? Is it the poor? Middle Class? Let me answer those last 3 for you. It is the rich as you may have guessed, so why give them incentives to hire people when you think that printing money is the answer. Printing money solves nothing except creating more inflation when it has nothing to back the creation.

@gene8172 Look this up, and it is easily available to you. How much do we spend at the open southern border just to have the wall portions guarded that were not installed? Prepare to be not astonished, because it appears you like wasteful spending. Now that in itself is wasteful spending.
1
@gene8172 Really? Have you looked it up? That is money NOT SPENT! The wall panels have already been paid for. Security for them is costing more than if the wall had been finished. Where do you not see the value in that?
1
@gene8172 That tells me you are wasteful, not in any way considering the money spent on something. Your values are definitely not with any sort of conscience of where it goes.
1
@gene8172 Assuming? What country are you in, Guatemala? I can't believe you even used that word,. I see you say that there are more cost-effective ways, yet no samples of what they would be. You have no answers, so you are part of the problem.

They also forget that retirees also spend money and that money spent is also taxed which returns it back to the budget. With higher prices and minimum wage going up, there will always be less for those who save and even less for those who suckle off the government and fail to put anything back into society except wanting more. Too many lazy people create crazy governing, thus reducing the value of government. I'd guess, without exaggeration that 40% of government spending is wasteful. The government has gotten much larger since Biden was elected, and his party wants more; what a surprise!

@ismailsheykhu7788 Your original comment negates what you replied back with. I didn't agree with that because Congress does allocate the money. The President we have currently thinks he can do whatever he wants and just keep spending, when in fact, he cannot do it legally.

How many times are you sent to sit in a corner in a day? You just made one of the worst comments here. Supporting Raskin must really hurt.

@walterpierce6061 Click Bait? Yes, and you deserve every snide remark you get in return. Grow up.
1
@walterpierce6061 So you gave us all your age (12), and that says you have no valid point of view. You obviously agree that Raskin is right, so you haven't seen much beyond your own walls. You want to slam Marjorie Taylor Greene on her point of view, and you don't agree with her either. How does it feel to be a Democrat?

Why do you think there was deflation of the value of a dollar? Think about it, then answer. Boosting the money supply is not the answer, so watch the video again.
