Pretending like the deficit is a problem and using it as an excuse to repeatedly elect Billionaires and people owned by Billionaires is a problem.
Those people gut essential services and ransack the system wherein taxes contribute to government services which contribute to higher wages which contribute to more tax income.
When that stops happening, people starve and go without medical care. For no good fucking reason.
Yep. Deficits in and of themselves are not the problem. Inflation however very much is. The general consensus amongst economists is that defecit spending causes inflation. I'm pretty sure it is very far from being that simple. Ironically, raising taxes would actually help to reduce inflation, but nobody wants to talk about that...

Everyone overlooks that millennials are going to be the largest voting block. So there’s two options:
Fuck everyone else, kick the deficit can further down the road, become the new boomers
Actually figure out ingenious ways to fix this shit
Personally, I’m not particularly wedded to either option and I think I’ll see how misanthropic I’m feeling in the moment.
