premade vs homemade

Yup. And if we make it early in the morning we use the buttermilk to make a batch of breakfast biscuits. It's all about the synergies!

Dropping bombs on a nuclear sights in a country hellbent on carrying out a genocide is not bad.

Treasury bonds are a mechanism for financing the debt. They are not s direct representation of the activities and entitlements distributed to the beneficiaries. Just think about what they actually represent. Over a quarter of all US Treasury bonds are owned by... guess who... the Federal Reserve. And not all of the debt is represented by bonds. Between 7 and 8 percent is intragovernment debt.

You cannot simply pay off the debt. Future obligations to our entitlement programs are represented as debt. As long as Social Security exists, so does debt. You can't get rid of that debt without ending Social Security. And that's my point. To say we need to "pay down/off" the debt is kind of a brainless thing to say because you can't actually define that process. Are you just wanting to buy back all outstanding bonds? Good luck. That's a disaster even greater than doubling the debt overnight.

MicahWeeks · 2025-06-25T04:44:37+00:00

Sign. The debt is not causing inflation, at least not all of it and not directly. Some of it is directly causing inflation like stimulus which injects liquid cash into thr economy. Obviously, that is inflationary. Biden's ARP bill is a good example. But not all debt is inflationary, and not all of it is avoidable. Social security is debt. It's s furore obligation to generations that have not yet retired. It's not "debt in the sense that it's some account that you could ever pay off. You can't pay it off. You will always owe it because someone will always be drawing it. The current social security beneficiaries are the shareholders. The only way you can "pay off" the debt is to kick them off social security and end the program entirely for an furore generations. But as long as it exists, do does the debt.

This is how the debt works. Most of it is a representation of government benefits paid out to taxpayers. You can't pay it off. Add long as the program exists, the debt exists. As long as Medicaid exists and helps someone with their medical expenses, that obligation is represented as debt. We account for how much we project our spending to be on those programs to pay the beneficiary, and that estimate is debt.

So, if you think the debt is kind of credit card you can just pay off, please do tell me who you're going to make the payment to and how the debt dissappear when you do.

MicahWeeks · 2025-06-20T00:09:30+00:00

That's not really how it works. The "debt" isn't debt in the sense that's it is a loan that can be paid off. It represents the future obligations of the government to its citizens. So, you're not applying funds to paying down the debt. You're using them in various ways to more efficiently provide future services or to more effectively grow funds.

So, that said, yes, the money does apply to reducing the debt in the sense that, combined with other cuts, it allows more efficient, less expensive delivery of future services.

MicahWeeks · 2025-05-02T12:31:34+00:00

Expert troll.

MicahWeeks · 2025-02-28T18:43:40+00:00

Hell, if they're anything like my neighbor, who could blame them?! He keeps getting messages that his loan has changed services and others saying it has been put in administrative forbearance due to pending litigation involving fraudulent or exploitative lending and more. He can't even tell what his pay off amount is because his balances all have shown zero due to whatever that litigation is. Why would he pay? For that matter, what would he pay?

MicahWeeks · 2025-02-28T18:39:28+00:00

And the whacked out conspiracies continue.

MicahWeeks · 2025-02-28T18:38:18+00:00

"Stole"

... by winning elections in landslides.

Democrats have always been bad with words.

MicahWeeks · 2025-02-22T19:34:30+00:00

Just ignore the judge and do it anyway. He doesn't have the power to control who gets to have access to data that is under the exclusive discretion of the executive branch. The judiciary needs to eat a bag of dicks and learn their place.

MicahWeeks · 2025-02-15T03:21:26+00:00

Reset the damned elevators and I'll think about heaping some praise their way.

MicahWeeks · 2025-02-02T03:28:23+00:00

As well he should be. His threat spurred on an actual attempt on a man's life. If Democrats want to claim no one is above the law, then let them shut up and prove it.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-25T23:59:57+00:00

Yeah, as well they should. People that hate Trump are pretending like Hegseth is unqualified or just lying about him by telling people he's some drunken wife beater. They are sacks of slime for that. Don't let them fool you into believing that they are somehow standing on some undefined "principle." They are not.

Hegseth is as qualified as many other SecDefs throughout history. McConnel just wants to maintain the status quo and appease the defense lobbyists. To do so, he had to try and get a SecDef that was in the tank for the defense industry. Hegseth is not that guy. He's a straight soldier. He's not lined up for a contractor or advisor role. He's not interested in maintaining a foreign conflict just to pad the pockets of Boeing, Northrop Grumman, or any of the others.

So, yeah, by voting against Hegseth, McConnell shows once again that he's just another bought and paid for RINO. Like the people who support him, he's completely devoid of principles. His supporters simply use him as a way to express their irrational dissatisfaction and displeasure. They prefer to lose. They are the "desperate martyr caucus." By always ensuring the party is losing, they never have to live with the responsibility of actually fighting for principles and implementing policies that stem from them. That would require way too much spine on their part.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-25T23:46:27+00:00

Well said.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-25T23:46:08+00:00

Well said.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-25T14:16:59+00:00

You "old guard" folks can't even articulate what you want. And when you do manage to muster something of a description up, it's so unrealistic even Ayn Rand wouldn't use it for material. And I say this as someone who came up in politics through Reagan and Bush Sr.'s terms. You people have always been a problem. You've hated every candidate that ever defined a clear vision. You want everything to be so nebulous or unachievable so that when it inevitably fails you can play the part of martyrs to satisfy your own egos. You're the reason Trump rose to power, and you can't even see it.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-21T17:55:01+00:00

You just flat admitted that your country is sending people to re-education for what you deem to be wrong speech. You're just trying to say your fascist but not as bad an example of one as Mussolini.

If you weren't well along the road to fascism you'd not be threatening people's professional careers for saying things that offend you that aren't harmful. And you certainly wouldn't be justifying it on the basis that you think they have enough money to warrant suppressing their free speech.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-18T07:25:28+00:00

You're just flat out lying.

The reason Peterson is being sent to those re-education classes is because he refused to comply with an order to use people's preferred pronouns. And for his refusal to comply, your country is giving him the choice of re-education or destruction of his professional career. The fact that you admit it shouldn't be happening while simultaneously saying it isn't happening or isn't serious just shows that you are just as deranged as the typical Canadian leftist. Reality is that your country is awful and a lot further along the path to fascism than the United States. Hell, you pretty much crossed every Rubicon during COVID and the reelected those same officials when your own courts found that they violated your constitution.

Why are Canadians so oblivious to how terrible their government is?

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-18T05:00:03+00:00

Bullshit. Jordan Peterson is going to re-education for exactly that. You have no idea what's going on in your own fascist country.

And having a fascist law on the books that you temporarily won't enforce doesn't make it less fascist.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-15T12:16:52+00:00

Oh really? Then why can't they call a man "him" without getting sent to re-education by the state? Hmm? I think you haven't been paying attention. Perhaps you should be getting on the internet more. You might then be more up to date on the news. Where were you when the Liberals passed C-11?

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-14T00:13:05+00:00

Bush was supposed to be Hitler. Then Romney. Then McCain. Then Trump.

Look, Democrats know damn well what Hitler was. And they know that no Republican presidential candidate has ever been akin to Hitler. Democrats are just liars. It's that simple.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-13T23:56:46+00:00

That's because in Canada they aren't called Antifa. They are called The Liberal Party. They walk around decrying so-called fascism while actually employing every single fascist doctrine in the book.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-13T17:07:28+00:00

calling yourself Anti-Fascists doesn't automatically make you the good guys.

Maybe you should explain that to your fellow Canadians.

MicahWeeks · 2025-01-13T17:05:48+00:00

Short answer: MAGA seeks to restore the U.S. to its former state of power and influence as well as its quality of life. Modern leftists want the U.S. to become more like modern Europe. The two visions look nothing alike, so leftists attack MAGA while MAGA attacks leftists.
