    1. Yes 2. People have been brainwashed by decades of austerity hawk propaganda. This leads people to believe that the US budget is like a personal budget where you can only spend the amount you make as income (taxes), when in reality they have an infinity money printing machine that they’re more than happy to use as long as it’s going to massive corporations.
