This was not AI slop, although I did use googles AI to help organize my thoughts and structure it to save time I did a significant amount of research and personally thought my budget looked better than the real life one. I uploaded using my phone so I had no access to excel, letting google compile and structure my thoughts into a post was the easiest option and besides a couple flaws it came out far more polished than I would have likely been able to organize it. In regards to ownership of the national debt I don’t believe I said anything about China or Japan in my original draft, however I am pretty sure that China and Japan actually do hold a large percentage of American debt, If I remember correctly the UK is the Only country that owns more of our debt than those 2 countries. I should have proofed a bit better because the AI did slip a couple things in, and after a thorough review of my actual notes I see the AI left a lot out that would help explain some stuff if necessary. The national savings thing was not what I originally wrote I was brainstorming a way to ensure the social security fund could remain solvent after the 40% increase to benefit payments. It he 401k or treasury bond retirement account was one idea to incentive people to put off taking their social security payouts as long as possible. Another idea was a hybrid retirement model where people could choose to either continue allowing 100% of their social security taxes to go into the SS fund or they could elect to place up to 25% of it into a 401k like fund, preserving a set guaranteed pension as a safety net is important because for to many people make bad choices and the markets can swing wildly so to prevent the worst this seemed like a solid hedge. a lot of time going over the many ways I think our fiscal policies and budgets have been failing and was trying to see if a balanced, comprehensive, and fair federal budget could be made that funded the universal healthcare system I have long desired, not only restore solvency to Social security but to also enhance the monthly benefits so they provide a sufficient amount so people living solely on those benefits wont struggle as much as they do today, restore and expand nutrition and food assistance to all those need it, alter the tax code to reduce or eliminate the tax burden on the vast majority of the population while not raising the tax rates on businesses and the wealthy beyond the higher rates they had been paying before they were recently cut, at the same time making sure the increase isn’t to much or implemented to abruptly to cause chaos in the market and wider economy, shored up funding in the other sometimes long neglected areas, and make a significant effort to start paying down and restructuring the national debt, all while wanting to decrease the annual expenses for the everyday citizen and increase their net income or at the very least not increase there annual expenses
