What? Was this meant as a question to the OP?

This is an absolutely terrible fearmongering article about nothing that’s trying to sell austerity (except for when funding genocide).

less operational budget available

For what? Did you read the article? They care about:

• Federal employees
• Medicare
• Social Security
• Comparing government budgets to household budgets

Seriously? These are the “productive” purposes that are problematic?

If these cranks actually cared about debt, they’d be proposing taxes on the rich and ending the MIC. The article is complete shit and doesn’t actually present any material change in the US debt posture or their ability to “pay” interest on their debt level.

They tricked me, they were all like “don’t you just really hate capitalism?” And I’m just like and next thing you know they’re telling me they have better emojis than anyone and how can you possibly resist that? Next thing you know, they’ve convinced me that a dictatorship of the proletariat would be pretty cool

Then the commies would win. Those authoritarian assholes want to end oppression and improve the global standard of living. Just imagine how much worse things would be for billionaires if the global south couldn’t be exploited.

It’s just the usual trash from the usual suspects. It would be cool if this were a sign of the empire in decline, but it’s really not.

Money printer goes brrrr, so long as it’s to fund genocide.

Maybe it’s because I have an ad blocker. It’s an absolutely useless piece of drivel, though.

I can see it just fine, but here’s an archive link if you really want to read unfounded debt fearmongering https://archive.ph/9Gtaw

National debt is fake and it’s not like you actually had any hope of those other things before the USA started their latest terrorist campaign.

The article does touch on the horrors that have been unleashed on Iran, though the “financial toll” is certainly more of a focus here. It’d certainly be nice if “here’s the ways you make the world worse for everyone else” got through nearly as well.

The destruction has been immense. The first days saw a deluge of strikes, including a likely U.S. attack on an elementary school in Minab, Iran, that killed 175 people, most of them children aged between 7 and 12. The Iranian Red Crescent Society reported this week that the U.S.-Israeli assault has damaged 10,000 civilian structures, including residential buildings, schools, and nearly three dozen health facilities. Human rights group HRANA reports that at least 1,245 civilians have been killed.

Thick, black clouds have loomed over the capital of Tehran this week after U.S.-Israeli strikes targeted oil depots in the city, sending columns of flame and smoke high into the sky. The Red Crescent has warned the 10 million residents of the city to avoid leaving their homes as the blackened rainfall itself could cause harm.

Imagine what you could do with 1-3 billion dollars per day to change the world

Or even, imagine what a positive impact the USA could have just by doing nothing.
