Government shutdown, record interest payments, immigration

[Mick1]

The Dems and Repubs are negotiating over a stopgap spending deal to keep the government running.

This is in the face of a $34 trillion debt, with a mind-boggling annual net interest payment of $730.8 billion. In 2022, it was just $475 billion, a 77% increase. We “only collect $4.4 trillion in taxes. That $34 trillion is on a trajectory to increase to over $46 trillion by 2028.

So long, Social Security…adios, Medicare. Military spending, cut in half.

I suspect we will see unfettered immigration (need bodies to do the work and pay the taxes), coupled with an ongoing amnesty program encouraging new citizens for legal and illegal immigrants alike.
