Roll out only the obligations Federal, State, and Municipal, government have associated with employees of those entities and the numbers change significantly. Civil Service jobs need to go back to the way they ran before Carter allowed Federal workers to unionize and States that can't face down the union in the State can just go bankrupt as a result.
Fat SOBs waddle down to the appropriate office, dictate their terms to the government, and our "representatives" make a little noise then add to the appropriations bill whatever they were told to add. Millions of people are out of work and at the same time people retire from State, Federal, and Municipal, government jobs only to start receiving more than they ever made while working ?
Please, end the corruption then recalculate that gap. As it stands now, the people with legitimate needs and least able to get by without help will be pushed deeper into the muck so the gravy train can continue for government employees.
Imagine what the world of low info voters out there is like!!!
there is no more simple math in the US. If you can’t show it in 152 steps, it don’t count.
Tax rates can’t rise to meet the gap—that would require tax levels that would crush the economy and thus crush the tax yield.
We are headed to economic disaster for an extremely simple reason: We no longer make anything tangible to sell!
No products, no market, no money!
Oil, gas, minerals and physical products was the mainstay of the powerful American economy we used to know. Now it’s education, government, healthcare, and a whole host of various industries that exist solely upon strokes of the government pen.
We are simply doomed economically for the very fact that we don’t really have anything to sell. Money circulates from the people...to all forms of government and government supported programs and industries, and the taxes they generate in the way of property and income taxes (personal and business) circulate back to the government and it goes on and on and on.......in a circle.
