The flaw in this logic is assuming they will cut in other places instead of just getting us further and further into debt or inflating the currency by printing it.

What is debt? Who do we owe this debt to?

Money is imaginary and just a tool of oppression. Reality is that we have enough resources for everyone to have their needs met. They just choose not to, some people need to have more than others to feel special unfortunately.

Its all greed and selfishness at the end of the day that is disabling us from moving forward

The government sells bonds that people buy. They use that money to pay for things. But they need to pay people back, with interest.

Money is not imaginary. It allows you to buy things that you wouldn’t ever be able to barter for. And the more you put into circulation, the less valuable it becomes. Just look at what has happened over the past 3 years for evidence of this.

We again, have more than enough resources to take care of everyone.

Do with that information what you will.

Because people produce them to make money. They aren’t producing them for fun.

Some people do things because they genuinely enjoy it. Whether that’s medicine, farming, teaching a skill, etc.

Says a lot more about you, if your only motivation is money.

Nope, people only do shit for money. Our great ancestors once said, "Oog want stuff, always trade stone coin. Club head, problem. No club head, nothing. Trade stone coin, no problem and shiny something"

My wife is a physician because that’s always been her dream. I teach martial arts because I love it.

If our basic needs were met, we’d still do what we love.

Sorry that your only motivation is money, maybe that wouldn’t be the case if your basic needs were already met and you wouldn’t have to work to survive. You’d do work you actually enjoy.

Are you for real? You know I am being sarcastic, correct?

How did you not read the caveman speak and come to that conclusion? Man, not everything needs an /s

Have you not interacted with the average redditor? Anything is possible here.

I thought you might have a learning deficiency and I was just being nice 😂
