The national debt

The national debt is over $ 33 trillion. The interest on that debt is larger than the defense budget. This debt is the main cause of our inflation. Inflation is a hidden tax on all of us; no vote to raise taxes needed, just keystroke more money into the market and devalue every dollar. 250 years ago we saw that as taxation without representation. All of this other political theater is our politicians creating a distraction from this.

We could start by reducing the government 3% each year, except for the benefits people who paid into the system all of their lives. Take some of this money out of DC and watch the markets react positively; the crooks in DC would eventually leave because there would be less tax revenue to steal or allocate to their friends to steal. Less money, less stealing, and fewer crooks. 3% more money would go into the private economy, and markets would improve with more jobs, less inflation, and everybody wins except the criminals.

This is a simple, clear, and totally nonpartisan fix.

The answer should be obvious.

China, Russia, North Korea, Iran are a few notable countries with one party rule. In America several states have one party rule notably California, New York, Illinois, Washington State and DC, Oregon, Minnesota, just to name a few.

Here are some questions we should ask ourselves if you compare to states and countries with at least two party rule. Why do masses of immigrants not arrive in countries with one party rule? The second question answers the first one. Why do immigrants overwhelmingly go to blue or purple states in America? Are you safer and more free in red or blue states in America?

I will not attempt to answer these questions for you as to not insult your intellegence. Just humor me and tell me what your answers are.
