I don't see any effort to decrease the operating budget. There's ZERO effort being made to reduce the deficit from what I can tell. The only solutions on the table involve more spending AND and increase of the debt ceiling.Well, probably to try and balance a budget for one. Assuming that's a goal at all. And federal income tax levels are lower than they have been historically, particularly on the high end. As are corporate income taxes.
I made the decisions to not go in debt. I made the decision of what field/degree to pursue. I made an intentional decision to start as a contract employee to get experience. These are not things my peers did. I would argue you're ignoring that my personal decisions impacted on where my path has lead or what my financial situation might be. Yes there's a larger system here, but somehow we see no shortage of failure out there.Regarding you suggesting your financial success are derived all of your own hard work is disingenuous. You're ignoring that you're functioning as part of a larger system. You aren't the only thing generating that income.
But I wasn't dropped in another part of the world - I am where I was intended to be.If someone dropped you off in another part of the world you likely wouldn't have had that opportunity.
90's - paid for courses as I could afford them while working almost full time. I don't see why it's relevant, as I had several coworkers in the same age range carrying student loans. I also didn't graduate with a limited/useless degree.Out of curiosity, what decade did you attend college?
You're technically paying for fire, police, EMS, school system - you know services. I personally don't see much value being added by the federal government in the event they take more of my $$$. You at least get what equates to a line item invoice from the state...I already effectively pay unrealized gains on my house through property taxes. Somehow I'm not crying over that.
Dealing with what impacts? Servers running? That it's outside THEIR system? I fail to see a problem. Next you're going to say that precious metals are bad too.And literally the cost associated with dealing with the impacts associated with crypto-currencies.
Please explain it then. Simplification doesn't mean that it's wrong or that they aren't contributing factors. Audit the Federal Reserve and we might just find out what's really wrong with the financial system.Again, I would argue that you're significantly oversimplifying monetary policy.
For those following along, are you not entertained?
