I understand the politics part, but that should be a discussion of how best to work within the actual existing framework to achieve goals that should be common. While we can disagree about application and policy, there is no disagreement about factual information that any Congresscritter should know intimately. If they don’t they’re too stupid for the responsibility entrusted to them, and too corrupt if they do and spread the lies anyway.
Some of what I wrote is my opinion, but most isn’t. Taxes don’t fund anything in the US. All spending at the federal level is either funded by Treasury instruments purchased with existing currency, or with new currency. The issuer of the currency can never run out of it or fail to pay any obligation denominated in it. The debt is not something that anyone is ever going to pay because that would remove all currency/money from the economy and force default on all private debt.
These are facts and not subject to “opinion”. How to work within that structure should be the “opinion” part, but misconceptions about the factual parts have been responsible for deluding the people who are not receiving their rights as outlined in the constitution.
