Giant corporation, especially tech, own the US government. They get a 1000 X return on their donation. Corporate welfare is inverted totalitarianism, political philosopher Sheldon Wolin wrote a book about it.
The working class get hit the hardest by debt, even the middle class are feeling the effects of debt. Look at all the economists warnings about the upcoming reset. Anyone with a pension or social security is in trouble.
I'm not going to argue with you, you're the only one here who thinks I'm funny.

If China takes Taiwan, it will mean war in eastern Asia. Remember that Japan, Korea, and Russia all have an interest in a free Taiwan. Whether Biden decides to ignore and break the treaties there remains to be seen. So far he has indicated he will do exactly that. He supports China expansionism.
If Taiwan falls, much of the custom chip industry goes with it. People will have to go back to using stock chips until another supply of custom stuff develops. Yes...that means Apple will be in trouble. Much of what they sell depends on custom chips. It will hit Nintendo as well, and several other products and companies.

No corporation owns the US government. There is no US government. What was the federal government has fallen. It has been converted into an oligarchy so the Democrats can implement fascism and communism. The States of America are each now deciding whether to align with this oligarchy, or to attempt to reform a union under a constitution. I call it the Socialist Oligarchy of the District of Columbia (SODC) now.
Sheldon Wolin isn't here. Holy Reference.
The SODC is broke. Everyone is feeling the effects of it.
Reset? There ain't no button, dude.
Anyone dependent on the SODC is in trouble.

It's pentagon accounting fraud. GWB removed the cost of war from the budget. We have military bases all over the world that are not in the budget. Veterans benefits and intelligence agencies are not part of discretionary spending. There are countless hidden cost we'll never know about. Remember the $800 toilet seats?
How much does it cost to build and maintain 283 F-35s and 44 aircraft carriers that are riddled with problems, plus nuclear weapons upkeep? I bet half of the US budget goes to the pentagon, and that's why we have so much debt.
That was not the Pentagon, that was Bush and the Republicans. The war was put under a supplemental budget, so was considered part of the budget. Nothing was completely hidden, but it was delayed by a few months. Obama put an end to that, so things are better.
If taxpayers are paying for it, it is part of the budget.
Veteran benefits are part of the Veterans Administration budget. Intelligence agencies are part of the intelligence agency budget. Roads are part of the roads budget. No fraud there.
About 60% goes to Social Security and Medicare. That old people are the big expense. How old are you?
