God knows it's hardly unheard of for the government to buy entire warehouses of things just to "support industry" and then never use it. The Defense budget is something where you can spend whatever you want, on whatever you want, and nobody ever looks at it, or asks why something costs 10 times [08:10] IsambardPrince more than the contractor said it would. They still blame pilots for all the glitches and malfunctions the F-35 has, and it's caused several of them to crash. Including at least one where they were scrambling to try to retrieve it before the Chinese did. It's almost comical how much of the Defense budget is wasted. [08:12] IsambardPrince Elon Musk claims he wants to cut $2 trillion from government spending, but after mandatory spending, there's Defense and then there's Non-Defense Discretionary, and all of the Non-Defense budget is $1.7 trillion. Then there's debt interest, which is up to almost $900 million a year now, and cannot be cut without defaulting on debt. [08:12] IsambardPrince This is like some sort of credit card sickness gone massively out of control, only on a scale of acountry with 330 million people. [08:13] IsambardPrince The last thing we need is more of these lemon socialism bills like TARP, "Chips and Science" (while Intel is busy firing everyone and setting up a working group with AMD, and might need a merger). The farm subsidies have always been bad, with government warehouses full of cheese and butter. [08:14] IsambardPrince Part of the reason the debt is out of control is the government tries to stimulate everything all at once, and it mostly leads to destruction of potential and debt. [08:14] *libredev (~libredev@w4s7ck52qnvc2.irc) has joined #techrights [08:15] IsambardPrince The government picking winners and losers is the reason why we have Intel where it is, and the reason why GM is firing everyone and will probably need another bankruptcy soon.

Not quite that bad, but bad. [08:24] schestowitz[TR2] adding [08:25] IsambardPrince In the past, they argue, what drove debt was largely due to national emergencies, whether wars, economic disasters, or other constrained singular events. That is no longer the case. The foundation points to our aging baby-boom generation, rising healthcare costs, and a tax system that does not bring in enough money to pay for what the government has promised its citizens, they wrote.
