Did You Know....

Under Donald Trump's first term, the National Debt had risen $7.8 trillion during his time as President. The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-largest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration aside from George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln who's debt was a direct link to a foreign war and a civil war.

Letter of the Week

The Reason Behind the Madness ....

At first, I was confused about why Musk and Trump targeted Social Security for cuts before the other entitlements. Typically, Republicans want to cut spending so they can reduce taxes. However, Social Security pays for itself with FICA, and because there is a cap, at most, each billionaire pays a little more than $10,000 a year. Hardly worth the effort. Then I realized if they destroy social security and throw millions out of retirement, it will vastly increase the labor pool, increase the number of people looking for jobs, and thus, reduce wages.

 

               This goal may seem to contradict their tough-on-immigration policy, which they state is intended to reduce the labor pool and increase wages. But if their real goal is the tech-bro billionaires' stated desire to change America from a democracy into a techno-feudal state, then there is no contradiction. In this narrative, each city-state and the people who reside in it are owned by a corporation. There is no such thing as wages. There is no migration, or even movement, between city-states for people other than the corporate executives. The first step would be to close down the international borders and deny constitutional rights to one, small group of people, which they are doing now with undocumented workers.  The next step would be to deny constitutional rights and travel to a larger group of people, say the LGBTQ.
