They kept taxes where they were.

I think they even cut some rates during those years, the top rates.

And then they borrowed the rest.

And they still couldn't borrow enough.

So they just print the money.

And then essentially what happens is that the price of everything just goes up and up and up.

And you just put more money into the system.

And then people start looking around and going like, geez, why is the price of housing and health care and energy and child care totally unaffordable?

And the answer is because you're paying for the war in Iraq.

And nobody thinks about it like that.

But that's really what's going on.

They can't.

So for all the young people who are coming out of college now and they're like, I'm 150 grand in debt.

I have a gender studies major degree or whatever, you know, maybe something better than that.

But they got an English degree or something and they're working at DoorDash and the average house is going for 600 grand.

And they're like, what am I possibly going to do?

It's like the reason why these kids are all demanding socialism is.

at least on the left, is because, like, what else are you going to do?

But the reason why that is the case is because your government decided to spend trillions of dollars on blowing up brown countries and in some cases then rebuilding them to blow them up again.

I mean, this is the actual cost of the thing.
