It's a great department, why haven't they tried this sooner. In 25 years, we accumulated all this debt.
Downsizng government, eliminating wasteful spending and corruption, (thieves), is a start. But the debt is a challeng. They receive $5 trillion in taxes/yr. Even if they only spent $4 trillion, the interest on the debt alone is about $1 trillion. Selling foreigners citizenships for $5 million? Whose going to purchase that? They would need 7 million very wealthy applicants.
"The US government owes the $36.5 trillion in debt to a mix of entities, including foreign governments, private investors, and even to itself through various government accounts and trust funds.".
My question is: Do we owe the Federal Reserve for printing trillions of dollars , as if we borrowed it paper that they assign trillions of dollars or value to out of thin air? These Feds have quadrupled their wealth. It is as if there are two governments, theirs and ours. We need to get rid of the Federal Reserve and go back to the Gold Standard of which there only seems to be $500 billion in Fort Knox. Where did our gold go? Foreign countries bought it and our government wasted it?
They talk about social security becoming insolvent, but they went into that SS trust fund in the 80"s - stole it, shouldn't have touched it. They owe us. We paid our taxes and they mismanaged it. We should be released of such debts - especially to the feds. How about a class action law suit against the Federal Reserve and while we are at it, China, for the Covid-19 virus that cost us $10 trillion?
Awe, heck with it! Come Lord Jesus!

Yes, since Obama. Certainly the futile wars we were in cost trillions (20 years in Afganistam and simultaneously 8 years in Iraq at the tune of $1 billion/day = over $7 trillion), the 2008- 2011 recession that included a stimulus boost, then Covid-19 cost probably 10 trillion, added up to much and maybe most of it avoidable spending. But hidden in those stimulus packages were monies siphoned out that lined Deep State pockets and their agendas.
Not to give Bill Clinton credit, but I understand that in the late 90's, the budget was balanced and we had little debt and a surplus to boot.

Nothing Federal about the Fed Reserve…it’s a sham and shame printing bills for cheap and charge Face value and interest….
If the gov were printing, would they charge themselves?
And how about the coins where they reversed the profiles to face Away from “In God We Trust”… very telling!! Disturbing!

there were 162cancellations of non-essential contracts with a ceiling value of~$205M and savings of $90M.

This included @USDA cancelling a$10.3M unnecessary contract which,ironically, was for identifying unnecessary contracts.

These govt employees have routinely used govt credit cards for Personal spending…
(Cars and apts for boyfriends, cosmetic surgery for girlfriends, vacation travel, etc. and when “caught” got a tongue lashing, but continued to keep their C- cards…insane cheating!!)

Carter balanced the budget by cutting veterans benefits, Reagan balanced the budget by taxing SS, Clinton balanced the budget by raising taxes on everything. Under Clinton, women started working, instead being stay at mom's because of higher taxes. Soon after, divorce rates skyrocketed.

Has anyone ever seen 1 billion dollars? It is an absurd amount of money. Unfathomable almost. That said, our national budget used to around 800 billion dollars per year. But they have to run the entire country on that, so I can wrap my mind around it.

But now somehow, our national budgets is multiple Trillions of dollars every year? That's treasonous on it's face.

one million dollars doesn't really go far nowadays. But if you have 900 million dollars you are filthy rich. Trump has maybe 3 or 4 Billion dollars in the bank. That is enough money for his entire family to waste maximum money every day of their life and they still wouldn't go broke!

2024's budget was 6.9 Trillion? no way can we go from 800 Billion to almost 7 Trillion without most of it going home with the wrong people and doing nothing for the country.

All the money they spend they just tack on the bill for us. That level of thievery should be a capital offense.

Spot on… And the sickening parts, is a great deal of the Spending is by unelected Bureaucrats, that sit their backside at home drawing a salary and doling out cash (for favors) !! 450+ Fed agencies and 2.5 million employees…dreaming up whims on how to spend money the govt doesn’t have to hand the Debt to the People. Ridiculous! disgusting, patently immoral.

God bles you.

To protect you from fraud, we will no longer accept changes to bank account information-over the phone.

Nearly 40% of Fraud has been occurring, with Fraudsters phoning Banks and “changing” Seniors Account information to funnel SS deposits to their own pockets!!
