1 That's nice to know, I'm sure if Ukraine needs a billion or so or a shit ton of weapons that can be hurried up though.

3 I would like my payment to be in the form of charcuterie. With the delay there should be plenty of time to work that out.

4 I make my own charcuterie. I’d like it in the form of brass and lead!

7 Just pay down the debt.

Won't be all of it, but a fair amount.

8 ...the debt is 37 trillion. Estimates to date on the tariff is 277 billion. Drop of water in a ocean.

Why are the TAXPAYERS that created this $$$$$ the last to get some of our own $$$$ back?

We wait, while $100's of BILLIONS in our TAX Dollars are sent to various NGO groups and nations around the world.

12 BTW: A correction to an earlier post I made recently.

IF the US Gov. holds the Tons of Gold that it claims.
The Federal Gov Gold Claim stated.


As of Oct, 31, 2025 the Federal Gov "Claims" it holds about 261,423,103.42 Tory OZ's and today per oz price is $4072.88.

So the US Dollar is only backed by: $1,064,744,929,457.25 worth of Gold. We owe roughly 34.75 times more to the world than our dollar is worth.

13 I read that the concern now is no longer inflation, but rather deflation. If I understand correctly, then the inflationary impact of the $2000/taxpayer is a good thing, whether used to pay down debt (returning the funds to circulate in the economy), spent (returning the funds to circulate, etc), or put into savings (enabling the bank to put the funds into circulation).
