 "I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared.... To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.... We must make our choice between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude...."

 Easy fix:

Spend more on defense. Until next time. 
 When the cost of past promises rivals defense spending, it’s a clear sign of unsustainable intervention. Printing and borrowing only delay the reckoning, true stability comes from sound money, limited government, and letting markets correct distortions 
 i'm spending on my defense  
 Me too 
 smart move, imo, fren  allthebest! sauna

debt = extraction

 Appreciate your posts Preston! 
 Now we just need a good war so we can get defense spending back above debt. LFG ‘MERICA! 
 Seems inflationary 
 If they changed that from aggression to just actual defence they’d save alot 
 Wow 😮 
 This is very troubling.  Spending is ridiculously out of control. 
 Guess what happens next 🌀 
 Escape velocity. 
 You're right. They need to spend more on defense. 
 The pace that interest payments are increasing is wild

They're so big it's hard to put into perspective 
 Nice. Next one to beat is Social Security expenditure 🫡. 
 Time for more war. 
 But surely that train stops. Right everyone!?

It stops, right @LynAlden ? 😢
