Paying The Man What You Owe America

The US National debt website shows the countries national debt stands at an eye watering $22 trillion but the US Fed have said that the true figure, once corporate borrowings, consumer loans along with debts being added by state and local government is included, is $72 trillion.
The Fed said that over the past 40 years, the US Treasury has been borrowing at a rocketing rate with the state debt soaring from less than $5 trillion during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, to $54 trillion when George W. Bush left office and Obama and Donald Trump adding another $18 trillion to reach the figure of today.
Using a calculator and my Grade D maths qualification, with a current US population of 328,675,066 according to the World Population Review, every American owes $220,000 each to Uncle Sam.
Better get that overtime bid in sharpish Mr and Mrs America.

and since only about half of American adults work, that means the number goes up to $440,000 each. we need to:

cut our military expenses
- let countries defend themselves (all of Europe - yawl don't fear the Russians anyway. Nothing to worry about))
- get out of the middle east except Israel, maybe Kuwait (maybe)

social
- stop illegal immigration to open up jobs for unskilled/uneducated Americans
- force unskilled/uneducated Americans off of welfare so they can do the unskilled/uneducated work
- force felons to do work that doesn't require skill/education (teach them a trade)

Absolutely definitely to first two, been saying that for decades.

1. so are you saying we should allow anybody to come to the US?
2. people capable working should get welfare?
3. people convicted of a felony shouldn't have to work while in prison?

1. That's your issue but it seems your President is trying his hardest to stop Muslims already.
2. Don't know how your system is set up but welfare here is a universal benefit so everyone pays in for it and everyone receives it when they need it.
3. Open to abuse by employers.

Get out of Israel, it is America funding it which allows it to continue its abhorrent abuses and genocidal behaviour in the region.

so,

1. dodge
2. dodge
3. poor felons abused by businesses... who said business. this is one of the few situations when the employer is the government (which you should really like)

stay in is Israel because it is a strategic military location
