JimJams idea sounds interesting, are you saying to just pay for all goverment programs with printed money?

And to jsut build build build?

I wonder if that would just be like printing money but we'd have nice roads?

If I had nice roads I'd be less mad at the inflation probably.

Well the crux is the programs need to add value - which really is the tricky bit. Wasting money, time and resources on building a road to nowhere would be even worse than simply printing money, right?

And I guess that really is the tricky part governments face (assuming they aren’t just cronies spending laundering funds through their friends which lets face it - they probably are).

Debt assets or something. Like building a bridge and charging a toll.

I think the government should print a shit load of money and build a space program anyone can join and like the governments only job is to just dump money into the world through this space program and letting trickle down space program employees pay for everything else.

I don’t understand how to stop that snowball rolling downhill but trying to reduce spending has to be the way. I’ve heard they are raising not only wages, but also social security AND pension payments to cover the increased cost of living…which makes sense, people gotta be able to afford to eat

But that’s all adding to the inflation too

[Basanos]

Anyone who wants to reduce spending but isn't willing to consider cutting military funding isn't serious about reducing spending

I’m thinking we should hand they keys over to the CCP

Let’s just quit.

Americans are lazy anyway who cares.

I'm ready for ssi to be blown to smithereens. In what world does a forceful tax meant to be a retirement account with a -percent return rate sound sane?

Let me choose what to do with my ssi money.

That is actually a great idea.

Build rockets. Get real space bucks.
