True, but I don't think anyone expects a balanced US budget at this stage of global economics. IMO a loss of the AAA rating would tank the economy significantly and risk a massive corporate backlash. This will make the government's stance untenable and cannot simply be solved by issuing unlimited debt.

Right? This does nothing without initatives to help people launch manufacturing start-ups

It's roughly when the US shut down practically all of our manufacturing plants and laid off the vast majority of our manufacturing talent.
Ironically enough, a great solution to this problem would be to bring in Chinese experts to train American workers. The USD still spends.

Realistically you can become president of the US with 22% of the population. https://youtu.be/7wC42HgLA4k
For more information.To be fair (French here), we love to make fun of your elections but ours in not much better.
We elect our president in two rounds and only keep the two best candidates for the second round. So if every candidates has around 10% of votes, two rather niche candidates could get to second round. To avoid this, it means that candidates that have compatible-ish ideas should team up on compromises but apparently that's not a competitive strategy (compromises make you look weak maybe ?
)So yeah, we can also have weird results. But at least we have a large panel of ideas that gets represented-ish (our society gets more and more polarized too, and this is frightening).

Well they inferred it

All I can do is mass deportation.

Ball had started rolling on Reform and Opening Up by about that time

They'll take any extra taxes gained and put it into the military budget
Trump is actually trying to cut the military budget too. Which is actually problematic because we have a lot of equipment (particularly aircraft) that is aging out and we already can't develop and/or manufacture replacements fast enough

And meanwhile many small businesses will go down since they don't have the bargaining power like their bigger competitors. The rising prices of their suppliers will completely wipe out the tiny margins they had. Even if they raise their prices their competitors can undercut them even more aggressively now. Also quality and quantities will go down.

I wonder what Project 2025 has to say about that

Ofc it's an ml wumao

Even if he did, which I really doubt since nobody ever does, I'm pretty sure they could find a way to rearrange some spending in that, what is it 800-900 Billion now?

I have watched Chinese tool steel and heat treat ability improve massively over my career. The steel went from chineseium to the cheap usable option in a shop.
Tool and alloy steels are a basic measure of a country's industrial ability. That genie isn't going back in the bottle.
The gutting of US manufacturing and unions has been a crime against blue collar folks that most don't understand. Few new machinists stuck through the recession of the aughts. There are few machinists in my age bracket. There is no magic switch to rebuild manufacturing in the USA. It takes years to create competent machinists and we don't have enough competent machinists to do the training. The apprenticeship programs have mostly been eliminated, the guys that taught me had journeyman's papers but those programs were gone by the time I came up.
I've been lucky enough to grow three machinists, green to competent, in my career. Had to fight with management/corporate to do that much. I know of one that has already left the trade.

For someone with family ties in Ukraine, being on the outside is still incredibly terrifying. Let alone that Muskfuck is now promoting AFD

Really not the time to sleep on China if you want to keep your Imperial empire guys.
China completely ravaged US manufacturing and y'all are still in the corner wanking over 'cheap Chinese product.'
China doesn't just make the cheap things you use. They make essentially everything you use.
Stop licking your wounds with petulent little jabs like this and start finding a way to compete. You know, the way your sacred free market dictates that you should.

I don't think selling your eggs makes an actual visible difference?

They're on a path to making things better than the US and once they do, we'll have a new world order. If the US doesn't wake up now, the second half of this century will be very different than the past 150 years.

At the federal level taxes aren't used to pay debt, they're used to reduce the money supply. That money goes into a shredder, and is functionally unrelated to the money printed.
Not really. Most money is actually just numbers on a spreadsheet. This is because loans actually create money in a virtual sense. If you want to reduce the money supply, a better approach is to up interest rates, which encourages people and companies to reduce how many loans they take and pay off the ones they have.
And yes, this is what the Biden administration did to reduce inflation, and it worked. At the start of his term it was over 8%, and at the end it was under 4%.
Unfortunately, people don't understand that reduced inflation doesn't mean reduced prices. It just means the prices don't go up as fast. They also don't understand that negative inflation, i.e. prices going down, is actually terrible for an economy since everyone is then encouraged to spend as little as possible, reducing cash flow
