I mean, the US can't exactly be relied upon to fill that role over the next however many years of temper tantrums, graft and whatever else (nuking hurricanes?)
The housecats of politics. They desperately want out of the house and don't understand that they're just an appetizer for the wealthy without regulation to protect them.
The Trump admin is about to hand out trillions of dollars of public money to friends and donors. If the deficit doesn't quadruple over Trump's previous administration I'll be surprised
I agree in principle but abolishing it under a Republican administration is a recipe for tens of trillions handed out to Republican allies with the bill left to the next Democrat admin to clean up. I'd rather we didn't do this right now, it's almost guaranteed to lead to absurdly corrupt and wasteful spending that could otherwise fund social programs we desperately need (like single payer healthcare) during a less corrupt administration.
I'll believe it when I see it
