#1 All that borrowing went to give money to government hacks in exchange for undying voting loyalty to the Democrats + kickbacks in the form of campaign contributions from union dues.

75% of nonmilitary public employees in this country (all levels of government combined) are unnecessary. Almost 100% of them are also overpaid relative to the actual value of what they do.

Absent this situation we would be fine.

The political class and the public both have never figured out that the WWII peace dividend was kaput in1975. They want to keep living like it will never end. Half a century later we are insolvent.
