Military forces never had any problem running extra reactors to acquire their material.

Or renewables. I remind you that nuclear power is completely economically unviable today because it is the single most expensive way to generate power. Even with Trump rolling back safety regulations, it's still too expensive when solar panels are 10 cents per watt, nuclear is 50, and the amount of backup storage to offset the unreliability does not bridge that gap.

Why is "Zionism is racism" insanity? Based on the definitions of those words it's a simple true statement, no? And our political system is insane if simple true statements send it over the edge.

Now by selling them uranium!

The US prints the world reserve currency. It can easily, and does hugely, export its inflation to other countries like the ones in Europe.

Just lower the rent then.

The deficit consistently decreases when democrats are in power and increases when republicans are in power.

Oh look another numbered spam account. How much do you get paid to persist with this? I want some of that moolah too.

Better yet, just stop giving them so much money that they become billionaires.

Another comment said it was just some posturing addition to a budget that's already guaranteed to be rejected. Which one is true?

So Europe is about to collapse?

It's extremely common that when a right wing government transitions to a left wing government, the left wing government notices it has insane unpayable debt and tries a bunch of desperate things to repay it.

Mamdani had the same problem but was luckily able to negotiate practicable payment plans on NYC's debt.

Also I believe it's much easier to solve well intentioned stupidity than to solve malice.

Couldn't they just admit the problem with capitalism is that you run out of other people's money, and then stop giving all the tax money to billionaires, and then there'd be enough money left for everyone else?

The french government is who decided the french government has to pay all that money, they can just decide differently.

Laffer curve is about percentages (and also irrelevant below 80-90% and irrelevant if you think government shouldn't be a business). Taxing people with zero money millions of dollars isn't even on the curve, it's just a completely separate bad thing.

The separate internet tax on the other hand, that's about 1000% of the cost of internet, and a 1000% tax is definitely on the wrong side of the laffer curve. They are essentially banning the internet.
