After a while, there won't be any more to tax, to bring in revenues to fund government and their programs, despite the fact that a stable economic environment is critical and essential for those to make money. When will these scumbags realize it and pay their more than fair share?

Albania Freezes Assets in Kushner Resort Probe
A widening property-fraud investigation into a $4 billion luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner has led Albanian authorities to freeze developer assets, compounding pressure from public protests and international critics.

(5,111 posts)I believe some kind of criminal investigation is being done into the politicians, wealthy private individuals and companies involved, something about illegally changing laws and possible bribes and kickbacks being involved.

(35,770 posts)"m. hela fella: This is how you deal w/ criminal grifters. Its not nice or polite. It is en masse, loud & unwelcoming. The grifters will have no peace in 🇦🇱 & neither will any of their privileged guests.
Perhaps they can buy land in 🇷🇺 so many people are dead & 🇷🇺 loves grifters & criminals? Or maybe 🇦🇷 w/Thiel?🤮

(3,263 posts)They like the US when they can siphon money out of our Treasury. They like our military protecting their interests all over the world. They like our banking system and the fact that the taxpayers guarantee their money is safe.
But they add absolutely nothing to the American way of life. They are leeches. Criminals. Parasites. Filth.

(3,263 posts)Our national debt is a touch under $40 trillion.
Our GDP is about $32 trillion. When a country's national debt is greater than the annual GDP, we consider that a failed economy. Our debt iw 125% of GDP.
Nothing really prevents deficit spending, as Reagan proved. Many economists believe that when you debt gets above 110% ,you end up spending so much on debt service that the only choice is to keep "printing" money, and eventually that collapses.
So when you ask, "How much is left in teh treasury?", another way to ask that question is, how much longer will other nations keep buying our T-bills. Foreign nations own about $8 trillion of our debt outright. But there are trillions more in the hands of oligarchs all over the world, and they often conspire as a group -- see Davos.

"This way, lovey." Walk towards the jungle, hear the sounds of the crashing waves, the wildlife and the drawing of a bow...
