Literally every article out there proclaims doom and gloom. At what point do we confront the madness that is our government spending? Every single article says it’s so bad if we don’t.

How about we rip the bandaid. Cut all government spending to zero and start adding back critical services in priority order.

Sorry to Ukraine, but the $100bn or $200bn or whatever. Next foreign aid. Sorry - we broke. Doing research on dolphin adolescence - yeah gone. Building more F-69s for a Russian bogey man - cut.

Seriously. Our political class is an utter failure. We have to rip the band aid off at some point.
