DEBT! another bad 4 letter word...

In response to What Debt?...

I agree. It makes me sick to think of all this money being spent and not everyone REALLY sees it put to use in a personal matter. Major programs that go into effect should benefit more than half of the population and those programs that benefit minority groups should be scaled down and sized to fit a minority group. There should not be any program that spends billions of dollars to please a small amount of people unless it is without a doubt necessary in every way for these particular people’s livelihood. I figure there are people who work in our government who get paid the big bucks to critically analyze this astronomical budget but maybe they should hire some debt consolidators or cut throat analyzers who know how to keep what is needed and do away with what is not needed.

The inflation and the increasing national debt of the United States do not seem to get better anytime soon. How are citizens of the U.S. supposed to get out of debt themselves when inflation continues to climb? The stimulus checks they sent out were supposed to stimulate the economy. I guess when people turn around and spend their stimulus check on bills and other debts that might stimulate the economy. I really do not know how that is supposed to help. On top of that, most college students, children, and people who do not make much annually received a $300 check while other citizens who make more money annually received up to or possibly more than $1,200 stimulus check. We live in a country where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer and there is an increasing divide between the two groups.

I do not know what needs to be done to change this current situation but something needs to happen. There are geniuses all over the world who are thinking of possible ways to cure cancer and AIDS. Surely there is a way to lessen the national debt and make inflation deflate!
