Let's reduce our national debt & end All Government employee unions. Even FDR thought federal & state unions would only cause Chaos. Ok?

    Have the people handling Social Security, inspecting meat processing plants, and delivering the mail all working part time, no benefits, for minimum wage. Nothing could go wrong with that. And hiring loads of people as political favors. A recipe for success.

    Who do you think is going to reduce the national debt, Trump?

    When he was inaugurated the national debt was  $19.947 trillion, as of January 2020, before the virus the debt was $23.2 trillion, during a time when the president kept telling everyone how well the economy was doing, how low unemployment was.

    The national debt when Obama took over was just under $12 trillion, so he added around $1 trillion a year, after inheriting a recession.  Trump has added the same.

    Now of course it is far higher $25.7 trillion, having gone up almost $2 trillion in six months and likely to rise much higher because of the virus, 30 million unemployed and the world facing a recession, maybe even a Depression.

    The idea that this could be solved by banning Unions is ridiculous, it is not giving some people lucky enough to belong to a union, around 10% of workers a decent wage which is destroying the American economy.

    sounds good on paper, but with the current system if your reduce debt the supply of moneydries up .. thats how its set up .. you would first have to remove the entire system and federal reserve and start from scratch to make that happen in the current situation .. it would be very uncomfortable unless it was gradual phasing out and thats been tried .. those behind it either wind up dead or those behind the system instigate a major war ... its a no-win ..
