49·6 months agoNah. The argument against that is god gave us free will, otherwise our decisions wouldn’t matter.
Us being fucked up isn’t god’s fault; it’s ours.

politics @lemmy.world•Interest on the $38.8 trillion national debt has tripled since 2020, and it already costs taxpayers more than defense and Medicaid
1·6 months agoSure, let me clarify.
You said “democrats love deficit spending,” and then proceeded to go on about how Republicans have historically raised the deficit more than Democrats. This means your argument is (even if you’re afraid to admit it) that Republicans are worse than the Democrats for the deficit. And I agree with you! They are worse!
It’s so easy to criticize Republicans, but it’s hard to criticize Democrats and they take advantage of it as much as they can.
Democrats use deficit spending as a shield to the true cost of social welfare programs. We need these programs, otherwise people would recognize how much they’re being fucked and revolt against the system taking them for a ride. Democrats can’t have this, so they nominate wet noodles like Clinton and Biden over Sanders.
It’s disgusting, despicable, and needs to fucking end. It won’t end until people stop being proudly stupid.

220·6 months agoKind of. The US won’t collapse due to its debt, but the dollar will be devalued as money is being printed to pay it back.
This is why Democrats love deficit spending. They get to obscure the true cost of social welfare programs and ensure that workers foot the bill instead of the people making everything so expensive.

Don’t overcomplicate things just to fit in with strangers on the internet.
It’s genuinely a breath of fresh air when people choose pragmatism over conformity.
