There IS no taxpayers’ money left, people. Now we’re borrowing money from China to pay for our stoopid bulls***. Many people still don't understand that.
This is the picture: You walk by a bunch of panhandlers on the street corner, oh, let’s call them Starving African Nations. You think there is no way you as a fellow human being can abide this suffering. So, you turn to your friend walking next to you, named China, and say hey, loan me a few billion, I’m good for it. He does, and you turn and give it to the bums. They laugh and walk away to go buy themselves a gold-plated bed. You realize you just got screwed. The people are still starving, Zimbabwe dictator has a flashy new crib, and you owe your cranky friend a Whole Bunch of Money that will take about a thousand years to pay back.
The next day, Starving African Nations shows up again, because standing on street corners pays very well. You say, “I’m sorry, I don’t have the money to help you.” They gang up and beat the crap out of you, angry, because they have begun to feel very much entitled to whatever is in your pocket, meant to feed your own children.
The new litmus test for every single thing is: Is this worth borrowing from China to pay for? Do we have the intestinal fortitude to say out loud, loud enough for the world to hear, “I’m sorry. I don’t have the money to help you.” Do we have the intestinal fortitude to realize that our money and involvement only make things worse?
