On 12-4-23, the Washington Post penned an Opinion piece for "Politicians in both parties need to face up to the national debt", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
How come these anxiety producing reports on our debt crisis always pick on reducing the programs that mostly take care of our dependent pensioners or our national health care?
How about the administrative costs for running the government such as maintaining a well-supplied military, or a law enforcement, incarceration, and justice system. Then there's the costs of the increasing personnel, space, and equipping to support our Legislative and Executive branches of government. Also, there's all those government agencies and departments that regulate and take care of our lands and fair conduct of our industrial, food, and supply chains.
That's right folks it's a package deal that everybody matters, or nobody matters. It's a government that provides some of the best living conditions possible within the comfort, security and opportunity from a county that always assumes a leadership example for the rest of the world's governed societies.
So you're damned right it takes taxes, a lot of tax revenue. So, if you've got a Legislative or Executive representative telling you taxes are too high or unnecessary, then you've got a political nutcase who smooths your feathers but doesn't want to admit how uncaring they are for what ruffles them in the first place.
