If anyone of us were to earn/spend about $500,000.00 per year, since the day the Great Pyramids were built, one would now (on or about January 2024) have reportedly earned/spent less than half of what the U.S. Government has borrowed since June 2023!
And with the above obviously very uplifting reality in mind, below are a few bits of related factual info that seem worthy of some special pondering:
* Reportedly, the Great Pyramids were built an estimated 4,593 years ago, in the early 26th century BC;
* As of this 01/18/2024 posting, "our" U.S. National Debt exceeds $34 Trillion (i.e., over $101,000 per citizen, or more than $264,000 per taxpayer);
* "The U.S. Government" is of course that body of "elected/appointed representatives" and "unelected bureaucrats" that "We the People" have put in place (and/or otherwise tolerate) to function as "The Government";
* "The Government" basically has only three sources of money . . . (1.) "Taxes" (paid by taxpayers); (2.) "Print more of it" (resulting in increased Inflation (higher prices for goods and services); and (3.) "Borrow it" (debt on the backs of present and future taxpayers);
Yes, folks, as we continue to "demand more stuff" from "The Government," and continue to self-servingly respond to the barrage of "promises of more stuff (in exchange for votes)" from "The Government". . . it seems especially worthy that we take responsible note that ultimately "We are The Government" . . . and it will not be the "Tooth Fairy" that ultimately pays for "our" spending and debt! Nor will it be the "Tooth Fairy" that suffers the consequences of any future "default" on "our" debt! ---William James Moore 01/18/2024.
