The total of all federal employees salary is only 4.3% of the budget. If you want to balance the budget using cuts you would have to make significant cuts to all of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Military. These, along with n

They are heavily regulated now, but it's inconceivable that these industries become more unregulated, it's not hard to make an argument that companies should be able set there own prices.

Not if there is a monopoly on service and you can't afford. The gas and electric company already know who you are. I wouldn't put it past them to start doing this.

I think the outrage stems from wealthy people having their issue fixed by congress in a timely fashion, when regular people feel like they cannot catch a break. Housing, Inflation, Healthcare, are all a mess but this problem gets fixed righ

Around 500k in today's dollars. I can not imagine a group of Adults raising this kind of Money with the expectation of no return, let alone a group of college kids. Shows you the privilege required to be able to make it. I would guess

Why is it base off salary and not spend? does this assume I contribute 15% to 401k or do I take 15% off my salary? Does this assume my house is gonna be paid off? What are the SS assumptions?
