Why would you want the government shut down? That doesn’t help anyone, only hurts people.
You won’t have any money if that happens lol there is no country in the modern day that doesn’t have a federal body, you can reform it but eliminating it is just asking for anarchy which sounds like fun until your family is hurt by it.
It gives them cover to pile on more debt.
Each time more debt is allowed, the more it is going to hurt in the future.
One of these days, it's going to cause a collapse that is going to kill a hell of a lot of people that would have otherwise lived had they just learned to manage money like adults.
Do you think that defaulting now is not going to do that? Like that doesn’t make any sense. If you continue to raise the debt ceiling you eventually have a chance to maybe start shrinking it down with a fiscal conservative in power, but if you default that’s it, all your money is literally worthless and you and family will go hungry. You want the elites to solidify their power? Allow influence and large business ownership to be the only currency accepted following a default.
The debt ceiling as it exists is nothing more than a prop in DC political theater. One side increases it, the other side bitches ... neither side has any intention to stop spending. The little skit legitimizes the deficit spending since the same pieces of diseased manure keep getting reelected.
The longer this charade goes on, the more it will hurt. The debt is growing almost exponentially now. A couple more years of this bullshit and the problems will be exponentially worse.
As far as getting a fiscal conservative in power ... You need a House loaded with members that want to cut spending, a Speaker on the same page, at least 50 US Senators that don't want to spend, and a POTUS willing to pass all of the legislature. That's never going to happen short of a miracle ... I mean, it'd be easier for that to happen if these pieces of shit were brought to justice, but that seems to be years away at best.
If you'd pull the plug now, the Rats and Rinos would get most of the blame ... There is NO way they'd survive the midterms even when considering the margin of fraud. The currency wouldn't necessarily become worthless ... The USA is far too wealthy and has far too many resources as well as the most powerful military on the planet.
However, the longer we wait, the harder it is going to be to prevent a complete collapse. Moreover, these corrupt pieces of shit are making sure other countries are getting a piece of the resources in this country ... If we keep increasing the debt ceiling, the longer they have to insure that everyone on the planet except USA citizens own a piece of them.
Their spending is what gives them power ... It has to stop.
You’re looking at this far too simply, it is not the spending that gives them power, they have power whether the debt exists or not, defaulting only solidifies it because WE the middle class and lower class will be the hurt by it. Our 401ks, pensions and savings will be rendered nearly valueless while the elites will continue to keep their power.
Trump also had the majority in the house, senate and obviously he was POTUS and he didn’t default on the debt, if it wasn’t clear before that should tell you that defaulting on our debt is a terrible idea. The US is only wealthy because we have power and influence, but a default would be a massive crack that would make us unable to compete in a global market. I’m also disappointed that you think military strength matters anymore, wars are no longer fought with boots on the ground, the future is cyber, economic, and biochemical warfare. Even if boots on the ground did matter, no one is going to fight in a military that can’t cut them a paycheck big enough to provide them the basics, which will occur if we get into a situation where hyper inflation renders our currency worthless ala Germany 1923 or Venezuela 2016.
Silver might have value but crypto only has value so long as currency exists, if you reset the worlds currency (which will happen if the US defaults) then crypto isn’t worth anything because it’s non-fungible. Not to mention China can just tank crypto whenever they feel like it.
Oh I don’t know, maybe I don’t want more worthless money printed, that in turn makes my already worthless money, even MORE worthless. And not only that, but I get the bill on “loaned” aka created money that costs REAL work and REAL time. And also, that money, that I’m PAYING FOR, is going to be used to strip me of my fucking liberties.
By all means, shut down the federal government, I don’t care.
Not really sure why you think a shutdown helps you though. The government will survive, we are the largest economy in the world we can’t just “reset” the government and replace everyone but if you think inflation is bad now? Imagine if our credit rating drops to junk status, it’ll make Venezuela’s inflation look like child’s play. I am going to imagine you are not a large scale business owner or a politician, so If the government defaults you will be left out in the cold, with no way to feed your family. You might get some sort of sick enjoyment out of it early on, but once you see how much it hurts your family and friends, you’ll be begging for the time your cash inflated at 2% a year.
This government as it is now is not helping anyone at all.
Shutting down the government doesn’t actually change anything though, it’s not like the government just disappears lol all it does is down grade our debt rating and cause our currency to devalue.
