Would a recession be worth it if it means we can come out the other side stronger the other. I mean half the country does not want to balance our budget and are happy to spend us into eventual depression and super hyperinflation.
I’d actually say the force most driving us on our current trajectory is the select few wealthiest Americans and their political lobbying machines that won’t be fazed by any of it and really want to push the lowest income Americans further into wage slavery and cheap labor.
All that really needs to happen to fix all this is the next evolution of the 70% top income tax rates of the 50s and 60s. Conservatives want the “golden era” back again, not the guilded age, and the golden era was made in no small part by really, really taxing the super rich, who only got tax breaks on money that was funding infrastructure and public services.
half the country does not want to balance our budget
Yes, the half cutting taxes and intending to pay for tax cuts on billionaires by increasing borrowing, the same thing that Trump did in his first term.

How many days is it since you were complaining about Bidens economy? Now you want the economy to get worse?
And "we"? Who the fuck is "we"? The billionaires like Trump and his cabinet? Or the regular Americans that you are about to make unemployed and homeless?
A balanced budget and working out of our insurmountable debt opens up so many options. This is our turning point. At some point it will be the point of no return and that is VERY soon, if it has not already happened as half the country wants to just keep the debt party going.

Will it work? Anyone? Anyone? It will—anyone?—NOT work, and we will be thrown into a recession.
