Proposed double-digit % cuts every year.
America is in moral and economic decline. If you don't have kids, enjoy the harvest while the fields go fallow. If you do have kids, get the hell out.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoA proposed budget cut doesn't really matter when congress chooses to ignore it
- throwawaygh 6y ago...whatever you need to feel ok about a super rich government that manages to run a 15+% GDP deficit while failing to provide healthcare (or even annual physicals), adequate shelter, or even fucking food to its population. The US deficit is literally big enough to feed everyone in the country 10x over, but we have millions of kids going to sleep hungry. We're accumulating more in debt every year than we need to feed the kids born that year for the rest of their lives. Our debt is unsustainable and our country is drugged up on a perverse cocktail of conspiracies, Christianity, cowboy mythology. Glad to be one foot out. Good luck and god bless.
