@Orbax69@LukeGromen@Alt_Perspektiv@pineconemacro The point of no return for the US being able to grow it's way out of debt was passed some time ago. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the total U.S. national debt from 1971 (approx $398B) to 2026 (approx $40T) is roughly 8.75% per year over this 55-year span.
@gaye_ess Ingrid Leary (Lab) only won Taieri by 1500 votes over Matthew French (Nat) in 2023. Mark Patterson (NZF) got 3000 votes and the ACT guy got 1700. All those votes wasted and Labour won the seat. Be smart and vote National in a situation like this and party vote NZF or ACT.
