This is because they continuously increase military spending while decreasing taxes for the rich and businesses. 4. Illegal immigrants pay taxes and don’t get benefits, so if anything, they’re helping the budget
That is not true. The vast majority of our debt is to our own citizens. China is like 8%. Like I said, republicans keep raising the national debt. The last time we didn’t run a deficit was under Clinton. It’s not impossible to pay off, we just have to raise taxes on the ultra wealthy to the 1950’s levels, and cut military spending and waste in the pentagon. But the party in power wants to do the opposite. Trump said today he wants military spending to go from 900b, to 1.5 trillion… insanity
