  1.  @NevisYsbryd  It should be the norm though, in by far the richest country in the history of the world. But thanks to fearmongering about socialism, most Americans are denied the quality of life found in far poorer nations

  5.  @BTrain-is8ch  The country doesn't "make" anything. It's not like a household or a private business. Taxes do not fund anything the government does, they're debited out of existence at the IRS. They're not a form of revenue, they're a way to manage inflation and create demand for the dollar. So when they deficit spend, they're not spending more than they made, they're spending more than they deleted via taxation. And that's a good thing, if they taxed away everything they spent, eventually the private sector would be starved into collapse. Also the government's "debt" is our assets and savings, every liability has an asset on the other side. Getting rid of the governments debt would be wiping out the bond market that is a source of wealth to so many in the private sector
