CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

SS is just one aspect of how the next generation gets left holding the bag. There are many predictions of when SS funds will soon run out, for working people who are still paying into it; but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
The bottom line is that fiat currency enables a government to spent more money than the people would willingly allow to be collected in taxes.
TLDR?
The government is spending too much.
Don't care?
More bread and circuses!

Elon Musk says DOGE only 'a little bit successful', would not do it again
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/el...-successful-would-not-do-it-again-2025-12-10/
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency was only "a little bit successful", Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on a podcast on Tuesday, adding that he would not lead the project again. The billionaire, who is founder of electric car company Tesla, was a major donor to Trump's presidential election campaign and became a close ally and adviser to his administration.
DOGE has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, the Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month. DOGE claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.

A little bit successful ... is the same as mostly a failure.
Did anyone expect a different result?

After promising to save 2Trillion, 1Trillion, DOGE says it has saved $160 billion. Those cuts have cost taxpayers $135 billion, one analysis says.
160 B - 135B = 25B, that will cost even more in the long run

Remember at the Musk voter money give away rally where he announced impending fraud indictments?
He even stated while on stage, "Yes. In fact, I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow,"
That never happened either.
