"The U.S. government has spent $6.75 trillion in fiscal year 2024 to ensure the well-being of the people of the United States."
Reads like something straight out of George Orwell

- readthenotes1 2y agoOh I do know that Orwell was a lont time socialist (I cannot vouch for lifelong as I do not know how he felt coming out of the womb). He also was very much opposed to authoritarian rule and one of the points of 1984 was to distrust how a government used words to mislead -like in what I quoted
