In 2021, the US collected the most tax revenue in 44 years. Anyone consider spending may be a problem?
You're right it really is Reagan's fault.
It was piss trickling down the whole time!
Reagan has been dead for well over 9 years
Which makes it remarkable just how many modern issues he directly and indirectly caused. Now to be fair, much of that also went to Nixon.
44 years ago was the start of the Reagan era austerity that never stopped and is a direct link to pretty much every government revenue issue we have today.
None of that refutes or even replies to my comment.
Dude the impact of people's actions don't stop when they die.are you 6 or stupid because surely you don't think that the policies of a president, and arguably the most influential one of the last 100 years, stop having an impact when they die let alone when their term is up.
All I said is that Reagan has been dead for over 9 years
2021 was the year where the second most people lived in the US, only to be succeed the the next year. 2022. 2023 has yet to be determined. 2021 was also the year with the second highest US GDP only to be success by the next year, 2022. 2023 has not concluded, so no official numbers can be given.
Facts are fun. I can keep going if you would like.
Corporate bailouts are fraud and waste. PPP was mass fraud.
Meanwhile American struggle for groceries.
Considered? Yes. Found to be? No, clearly we aren’t spending enough, especially in the areas of education, healthcare, and housing. Tax enforcement, antitrust, corporate fraud, bribery, and anti-regulatory capture come in close seconds.
Spending more is the solution? Baltimore spends more per student than almost any other school district in the US, yet their kids are performing dismally:
