[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4584970, member: 24302"] I read your attacks on Reagan. A great man that you totally denigrate. Put up or shut up. What you can't seem to grasp is that along with having 330 million people the U.S. is extremely expensive. We are in deficit spending now, have been for decades, taking care of our own, policing the world, and yes donating more aid than anyone else. You want to see suffering and misery? Our economy moves the world economy. If we collapse so does everyone else. You want to see what that looks like look at Argentina. A country rich in natural resources. They are one of the few countries that have everything they need to support themselves. But they are going through severe economic times. Was happening before Covid-19. They just reneged on their national debt for the 9th time in their history. Why? They have a socialist government that spends more than it takes in, extremely strong labor unions, and a heavy tax burden on their businesses. When they shut down for the pandemic they ordered businesses to still pay their workers' salaries. They are an economic basketcase. It's difficult getting something shipped to you there because the government will hold it until you pay a high fee. And jump through hoops to do that. You want maturity? You should learn more about how capitalism really works and how it has fed, clothed, and housed more people than any other system. It's exploitive, but ultimately you have more abundance under it.
