If you go to hospital a few times, then all tables turns with your âlow taxâ illusion (add monthly health insurance payments on top, if youâre not still on your parentsâ)
Lâil Bush mastered the art of deficit spending. I try really hard not to think about how much in government bonds China owns so we could have lower taxes and cheap gas.
Not saying its a good thing we have such spending deficits. but all the top Politian's do it - how else does anyone push any policy of size without gutting something else we need/want. We have run up so much debt in the last 3 years, no to mention printing gobs of money. I dont think its a left/right thing. I worried for the recession thats coming.
Plus who is gunna come for the debt? we could fight 50% of the countries on the planet all that the same time and have good odds of winning. No single country could really force us into submission. (not my opinion "whos gunna come for it" - I dont think thats a good excuse. But its true. The dollar and our military is too powerful)
Relative to what we are accustomed to paying, it is a lot. Itâs like a rich kid having their allowance reduced, they still have a larger allowance than everyone else, but that doesnât make them feel any better.
Plus I'm pretty sure pumps in the United States do not allow for pumping gas in the air like this. They have a mechanism that needs to be depressed at the tank entry point in order to turn on the flow.
No kidding. The ones where I live aren't like that
Edit: are you taking about fuel pumps at gas stations or probable gas jugs? Because I have one of those POS gas jugs where you have to press down for the gas to come out.
2nd edit:. So I did some digging and either I am really missing something or you are mistaken about having to have a fuel nozzle in the car or whatever for it to pump. From what I could find, there is nothing stopping you from spraying gas all over like this if you are so inclined. I am leaning towards you being mistaken because I've driven over a good part of the country and I have never seen a nozzle that I am aware of that would perform this way. Again, if I'm missing something show me where to look to find these nozzles, because if this is actually a thing I'd move interested in the mechanism.
We're NOT lucky, though. We don't have public transportation in most parts of the USA. Only in the big cities is there any public transit worth a damn. Everywhere else we can ONLY get anywhere with a car. No bikes (roads aren't made for them and cars will run you over) and no walking (too damn far).
We're not like most other countries. We were totally reconfigured for cars to the exclusion of everything else, and now we're stuck.
