    The US government is in a significant amount of debt which is constantly growing and will never be paid back. We needed to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations, but we never did. We needed the banks to fail in 2008, but they stole our tax money. We needed a strong economic correction during a global pandemic, but instead they printed a fuck ton of money.
