Explainer for USians. #TradeDeficit #profligateconsumption

You have been living beyond your means. Don’t blame the rest of the world, tax the billionaires.

“A country’s trade deficit (or more precisely, its current account deficit) does not indicate unfair trade practices by the surplus countries. It indicates something completely different. A current account deficit signifies that the deficit country is spending more than it is producing. Equivalently, it is saving less than it is investing.

“America’s trade deficit is a measure of the profligacy of America’s corporate ruling class, more specifically the result of chronically large budget deficits resulting from tax cuts for the rich combined with trillions of dollars wasted on useless wars. The deficits are not the perfidy of Canada, Mexico, and other countries that sell more to the US than the US sells to them…


“The budget deficit is not due to the salaries of civil servants, who are being wantonly fired, or due to the government’s R&D spending, on which our future prosperity depends, but rather due to the combination of tax cuts for the rich, and reckless spending on America’s perpetual wars, US funding for Israel’s non-stop wars, America’s 750 overseas military bases, the bloated CIA and other intelligence agencies, and interest payments on the soaring federal debt.”

Democrats AbroadHANDS OFFf! Trafalgar SquareDemocrats Abroad strives to provide Americans abroad a Democratic voice in our government and elect Democratic candidates by mobilizing the overseas vote.

Today I learned that having #empathy and calling off genocide supporters is "a big part of what is wrong with #America".

You can't simply demand your "good" leaders to NOT support genocide, because the other side may crash the #economy and hurt the "good Americans" who benefit from the #genocide.

These people are pissed, because their comfortable life has been disrupted because half of the voters elected the orange Hitler who is the uncovered and naked version of America they have been ignoring for the past 70 years when their government did this to so many countries again and again.

But now, it's happening to THEM and it's an OUTRAGE. And it's the fault of those who disrupted the illusion of the humane and prosperous US of A.

@samlitzinger Could it be because they are utterly fucking incompetent, don't actually care about what happens, and are a bankrupt political organization whose only values are that they live millionaire lifestyles in big houses?

Americans told other Americans to vote for Harris with the only reason being because she is not Trump. Since she lost to a rapist felon she has been invisible. She has no political values. She does not care. And neither do the Dems.
