Sometimes I wonder, what the fuck is tax money even used for in this country? Do most of you even feel any benefit from it whatsoever? It doesn't get us healthcare, doesn't get us infrastructure, doesn't get us jack shit, maybe roads is the only good thing. But you go to any American city and wonder what the fuck they're doing, why the cities look like such garbage, are they just sitting on their ass or throwing all the money down the fucking drain?
America is fucking awful at using its tax money

Didn't the pentagon "lose" trillions of dollars for "accounting errors". Isn't that tax money?

And the military, and black budget OPs, weapons developments etc, and corporate/big bank bailouts.
the government hates us, it's the same everywhere really
$2.3trillion, just before 9/11. Haven't heard a thing about accounting errors since then. Go figure.
The vast majority is spent on welfare.
it protects israel and that about it. funding all the wars in the middle east to keep the artificial state of israel secure. meanwhile im america our roads are failing. our healthcare is nonexistent (except for boomers). and we are all falling futher behind.
It gets us millions for performing arts during the middle of a pandemic and funds our schools teaching our kids how to perform oral sex on a transvestite.

Anyone want to explain this?

You mean how they are cutting foodstamps for americans during a worldwide pandemic to save 5 billion dollars over 5 years while sending 15 billion a year to isreal?
Bless your heart, user. I bet you think the government funds itself with tax money. It's all mostly pretend.
Corporations pay the bulk majority of taxes used to rebuild highways and support schools. The money that government "doesn't return" is returned to the minimum wage or loser types it was borrowed from, without paying them any interest.

The whole """debt""" could be paid with one stroke of a pen. There isn't some bank that will repossess our carriers if we miss three payments. You could get rid of the whole financial system and nothing noticeable would change if it was handled well.

Oh an inflation is mostly a meme and only happens with supply shortages. Prices don't change based on how much money you have in your pocket.

Taxes are an inflation control measure and little else. Also, "YOUR" money only has value because the government erected structures to make it have money. It is just paper at best or electronic data at worst with zero intrinsic value. You're welcome for the convenient means of exchange.
dumbfuck it literally just goes to breaking even on the interest from last years debt that's meanwhile accumulated into just a few dollars less than what you owe in taxes. there's shit all left over for anything, and any work you see performed by jackoffs working for a government position is paid for entirely by fun bux that're fresh off the printing press.
That's all well and good, until you have clusterfucks like mortgage backed securities and traunches and credit default swaps, bundled and rebundled real this, and synthetic that and whatever the fuck.
If our governments were logical, they would do "Consumer side stimulus" which is just cutting checks for every working American. Guaranteed to work.
Problem is Washington are a bunch of elites who are money whores. If they weren't in DC they would all be sociopaths.
So they are just tracking it for entertainment purposes?
Yes except for the combined forces of the remaining 95% of the world wants their fucking debts paid that've been bought and paid for, denominated in USD, and at that point there wont be a single fucken soul left thats gonna buy the frest dollary-doos bucko.
Death of the petro$. That's what I thought.
My company does some jobs for the state and I got moved to one because of the virus shit. So far the state has thrown away a 3000 dollar rug that had a small hole in it that could have easily been repaired. And replace the rug with an identical one. They had another 3000 dollar conference table brought in and decided it wasnt big enough once it was set up. So they are going to trash it and buy a larger 5000 dollar one. It takes a team of seven people making 70-80k a year almost two weeks to make single decision on a paint colour. And then decide two weeks later they dont like it and want it repainted.
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid make up nearly half of Federal expenditures. When you add up all the healthcare costs that fall under HHS and VA, as well as assistance like TANF and SNAP, the vast majority of Federal tax money gets paid out to the old, sick, and needy.
States and cities are their own things, you can't really complain "America" is doing something wrong with tax money when you're really looking at (some) state and municpal governments.
