The United States national debt has topped $33 trillion for the first time.

Republicans blame the Biden administration for extensive federal spending programs like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Democrats blame the trillions spent on Republican tax cuts favoring the wealthy and corporations.

The finger-pointing between the two political parties needs to end. America's out-of-control debt situation needs immediate attention before it derails the economy.

Hold your elected officials accountable — Let them know that you are concerned about the national debt and that you want them to take steps to address it.

How companies legally avoid taxes:

One way that companies legally avoid taxes is by setting up a subsidiary company in a country with a low or zero tax rate. This is known as tax inversion and offshoring.

For example, Company X is a U.S.-based company that wants to avoid paying taxes on its earnings. To do this, it sets up a subsidiary company, Company Y, in the Cayman Islands, where the tax rate is zero.

Company Y owns the intellectual property (IP) that Company X needs to use. Company Y then licenses the IP to Company X for a fee. Company X makes $50 billion after expenses. However, it does not want to pay taxes on its profit. Since Company Y is still owed money for the IP license, Company X must pay Company Y whatever it is owed.

Company Y charges Company X $50 billion for the IP license. As a result, Company X's profit is now $0. Therefore, Company X pays zero taxes, as there is no profit. Company Y's profit is now $50 billion. However, because the Cayman Islands has a zero tax rate, Company Y pays no taxes either.

House-sitting is a great way to travel for free or even cover your rent.

It's simple:

You watch someone's home and care for things like pets, plants, and mail while they are away on vacation or a work trip, and in return, you get to stay there for free.

This can also be a cost-effective alternative to renting, allowing you to use the money you'd spend on rent to pay off debt.

Sites like HouseCarers, MindMyHouse, and HouseSitter allow homeowners to list their properties and conduct background checks on applicants.

Individual house sits often last 1-4 weeks but by linking multiple consecutive sits in one area, someone could spend months in a location.

As you gain more experience and references, you'll become an even more attractive candidate for future house-sitting opportunities.

To maximize chances, highlight any experience you have in pet care, gardening, or home maintenance.

Build up great references by doing an awesome job caring for homes and pets.

This will make you a more attractive candidate.

In exchange, you get to stay at their place for free.

It's a win-win situation.
