US Federal debt and why you should never vote for a Democrat

Only one form of governance produces a thriving society. All others result in stagnation, suffering and death.

America’s founding fathers came close to achieving this goal but other factions resisted preventing its fully realized and prolonged implementation. Rebellion started at our inception when slavery was accepted to placate Southern Democrats in order to form a unified nation leading to economic stagnation in the South and civil war throughout. This resistance continues unabated.

Alexis de Tocqueville first described America as exceptional in Democracy in America which later became known as “American Exceptionalism.” The founding of America is the closest mankind has come to achieving a thriving society.

Societies are bounded by basic math. Society needs those that work and have children to thrive – these are its producers. A thriving society requires these producers be treated with respect and encouragement in order to provide for those in need and basic government services.

This basic math, that producers must thrive in order to provide for those in need, seems to befuddle self-aggrandizing, pompous, self-righteous liberal do-gooders.

Instead, mankind persists in treating their producers with contempt, indifference, manipulation, imprisonment and murder inevitably leading to less productivity motivating those still alive and able to produce less, move or simply quit producing and go on welfare.

Once producers and tariffs fail to sufficiently fund government spending the equation must be balanced by other means: war for conquest, poverty, civil war, property seizure by government, and debt.

America has chosen debt. America’s debt represents the cumulative impact of this resistance and the destructive power of liberal good-intentions.

Tabulated below is America’s 2025 Federal revenue and debt including the minimum amounts required to pay off its debt within 100 years. Due to the difficultly of visualizing the trillions of dollars involved I equated it to an individual earning $150,000 per year. I challenge you to objectively review it.

Summary is we are screwed unless we change course.

First step is we must cut total federal spending by 25% across the board.

Secondly, we must allocate 25% of revenue to repay debt and interest payments with 76% left for discretionary spending.

That would be an unheard of reduction in spending and allocation change but that still isn’t close to what needs to happen to maintain current course. We still need to pay our unfunded liabilities.

To accomplish that we instead must allocate 84% of revenue to debt, interest payments, and unfunded liabilities with only 16% left for discretionary spending. This isn’t nearly enough to fund basic government services let alone support our fellow citizens in need.

Our current path is unsustainable and only leads to stagnation, suffering and death. My fellow like-minded conservatives with true compassion want to address and avoid this fate whereas liberal Democrat’s denial and fake compassion disgusts me.

Conservatives prefer an alternative approach.

The only faction that seems universally unwilling to address theses issues are liberal Democrats so never vote for a Democrat. Instead, support only those with basic math proficiency willing to acknowledge and address these challenges. You can identify those that failed arithmetic if they have ever said “the rich aren’t paying their fair share” or commonly use any of the following words: reparations, racist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, sexist, and victims.

In all policy decisions treat producers with respect and encouragement instead of contempt, indifference, manipulation, imprisonment and murder.

Consider with an open mind ALL alternative solutions. Cut fraud and abuse in all areas of welfare and government spending. Anyone on welfare who could be a producer should be encouraged to do so. Social security for future generations must be redesigned. Medicaid and Medicare must be reconfigured. America must eliminate use of illegal aliens as modern day slaves and deport every last one.

Replacing our original sin of “who is going to pick your cotton?” with “who is going to pick your strawberry?” might be a moral improvement to you but at its current massive scale is far more economically destructive than it was the first time we tried this. Slavery of any flavor always benefits the few in the short term at the expense of the many in the long term. I have no doubt this confuses many as even conservatives often dream of basking in the temporarily benefits of cheap labor, assuming they aren’t on welfare or rapists and murderers, so I may have to write another post explaining the math behind this. Another idea is why don’t you figure it out yourself. How do non-prevailing wage illegal aliens spend their money? How does the money they spend negatively impact their native country’s future? How does their employment negatively impact the creation of native born producers? How exactly do you think relocating producers from one country to another benefit everyone long term? It is mathematically impossible for slavery, or any variant of it, to have positive results. Maybe its just me but slavery isn’t a great idea.

To be clear. If you think you are being kind, generous or making any kind of positive difference by letting in foreign illegal aliens into your country to work then you failed. All you are doing is increasing the suffering for countless others. I get it, you want credit for the few you helped and make the rich richer and who really cares about all the others. In my book there is little distinction between pure evil and good intentions.

We absolutely can fix this. Trump has proposed many great ideas and I have not listed them all below. If you even remotely care about those in need I encourage you to escape your liberal cult and support these solutions and other with enthusiasm to Make America Great Again.

Claude AI generated most of the spreadsheet formulas and some of the sources. We went back and forth for about 7 revisions. I feel highly confident with the current debt calculations but the unfunded liabilities appears misrepresented. The spreadsheet shows that an additional $7,347 is due per month in interest on debt that hasn’t been assumed. I think the row heading should be changed to “cover interest plus required savings to be applied to predicted future debt” but Claude is convinced this it is correct. It would require an accountant to accurately model the disaster that is the Federal debt to clarify exactly how unfunded liabilities should be treated. Regardless, the overall findings are in the ballpark and sufficient for this exercise. If you would like to review the spreadsheet let me know.

Current average federal interest rate is 3.5% which makes a significant change to these numbers. Additionally, small decreases on repayment changes repayment from 100 years or less to never. These are the minimums.
