Freedom isn’t free, unless you’re a taxpayer
Freedom is not free, but it appears that it’s free to the taxpayer. If the current request from the DOD is approved we will have spent nearly a half trillion dollars without a tax increase. For an American family of 4, that’s about $6,500.
Isn’t that a little like buying a new car, without making that down payment or making those pesky monthly payments? Just send the bill to my children and their children. Hopefully, you can keep the interest rate at a reasonable rate they can afford.
The president is a lot smarter than people give him credit. He could ask for a tax increase, but fewer people would be so supportive.
Who wants to make those monthly payments, when you could have the car for free?
