TheJuiceIsL00se on October 23, 2025 4:16 pm It’s crazy that the govt’s tax revenue is approximately $5T annually and they spend so much more than that annually.

DrTommyNotMD on October 23, 2025 4:37 pm Taxation as a percent of GDP has been high for 70 years but spend just keeps going up. We’re at a point where taxing all millionaires 100% still wouldn’t balance the budget. Something has to be done with the spend.
