Don't make me pay for stuff I don't want or use. Like someone else's healthcare? Mike

One way out of our national debt would be to go to war with China and declare the debt we owe China is no longer valid. I think it is fairly likely to come to that.
Keith China holds only about 5 percent of the US debt.

I use that regularly,dont mind paying for that one way or the other.Good healthcare is something everyone uses. I was more thinking about the big fat salaries and expense accounts of the politicians,and all the welfare cheaters.Or all the big city infrastructure.Stuff I don't use,or have no use for.

China holds quite a large gold reserve....and the US government owes most of the US government debt to the US government. Maybe we should buy Greenland?

I have been taxed my whole life without representation. Most of the representatives that represent whatever district they put me in are not representing me. They represent the other guys( women). I really like this idea of not paying taxes because I have no representation. Can we make it retroactive? Let me get this straight... where you live you do not get an opportunity to vote for a representative? Have you ever heard the term "absentee ballot?" You tend to pee and moan like an old woman.tll this time I thought Buzzard had a monopoly on that. Hey, speaking of which, has anybody heard from that ol' boy lately? Zim

Not only that but China's debt/GDP ratio is about 3 times as bad as ours !
I think the biggest part of our debt is owed to ourselves in the form of the Social Security IOU's Most people don't understand why countries like China and before that Japan that we have such large trade imbalances with hold so much of our debt, especially China. China can not peg their currency to ours without it. If China called in the note tomorrow, a large part of their trade advantage would shrink. In case anyone is interested as of May, China held 1.11 trillion in US debt, Japan 1.1 trillion.

I don’t get this thinking. CEOs don’t set pay scales, the market does. As for fat cats, if you have the motivation and skills to be successful who are we to demand that they share that.

I heard that Warren is only 1 percentage point behind Biden now who is supposedly the front runner.

I can vote. However, my ideas, although popular back before the sixties, are no longer popular with the majority and will never be represented by anybody elected to office today. The representatives of the majority do not represent me. Did Obama represent you?

I don’t get this thinking. CEOs don’t set pay scales, the market does. As for fat cats, if you have the motivation and skills to be successful who are we to demand that they share that. The majority (not successful). That is how the system works. "The tyranny of the majority (or tyranny of the masses) is an inherent weakness of majority rule in which the majority of an electorate can and does place its own interests above, and at the expense of those in the minority." "In a democracy, of course, the majority rules. That’s all well and good for the majority, but what about the minority? Don’t they have rights that deserve respect? Of course they do. Which is why a democracy won’t cut it. As the saying goes, a democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner."

Liberals are more organized and stick togeather much better than conservatives, doesn't matter if male or female.
When the NRA goes down, we gun owners are doomed. As a liberal (I'm using the term loosely) gun owner, I'll be writing every rep I know about keeping 'em... and convincing my friends to do the same Whether or not they'll do it... I can't say. Half of em don't even vote. Shame since most of them are women... Wasting the battles the women before them fought to get the privileges dudes had (have? idk)
