Is government spending our money correctly?
There is waste anywhere?
Spending billions on foreign policy is something you also endorse?

They sure do need to be paid for, but in an equitable fashion, and not when businesses aren't even allowed to operate at full capacity yet.
That's when you should start looking at Windfall tax's on the parts of the economy that have done well through the pandemic.

Even if our taxes don't get raised, the prices of everything will go up as companies pass on their taxes to us.
And then there is the inflation thing just waiting in the wings......

You mean... Amazon, Walmart and streaming services?

Awesome so when the wealthy die and leave their wealth to their children, who more than likely have been waiting their whole lives for their parents to die, the government is going to take half or more?.. This is money many would likely invest into new businesses but I guess that won't be happening now.

Who didn't see this coming?
With a National debt as colossal as your's no one I guess , extra spending due to the Pandemic and free money giveaways all have to be paid for.
