    They say eligible for 750 dollars. What are the caveats? For example, heard if they did not receive government assistance or have home owner insurance, they will not get the 750.00. Devil in details.

      I would usually agree with you. But, I’m learning a lot about how broken our system is.
      Holding people accountable doesn’t seem to happen very often. I’m hoping that Musk and Ramaswamy will be looking into FEMA and their misguided and unapologetic actions.

      Nobody is punished because a certain party is in control and Congress does not have sufficient power by itself. Hopefully things will change soon

      One would think the purpose of these hearings, and why they are televised is so that member of the House of Representatives as well as the public could get the highest quality detailed information about what is happening with government agencies, including financially, but that does not seem to happen. Maybe these time limits for questions create some undesirable incentives. The FEMA Director Criswell apparently said the outflow of cash from the National Insurance to flood victims is currently outpacing whatever goes into that program by $800 million, but she did not a give a period of time for that rate. I am not exactly sure that is what Criswell was saying, but one of the representatives should have clarified that, and asked if this outpacing is happening, what are the actual source of funds. I think the people in government as well as in the media might be using phrases and statements that do not give an accurate picture of how the federal has actually been operating financially. Erskine Bowles of the Bowles-Simpson debt commission said back in 2011, as broadcast by C-SPAN, then, and in January 2024 on Washington Journal, that 100% of tax revenue went to pay for Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and interest on the federal debt, then at $16 trillion. All of the expenses for all cabinet departments was paid from borrowed funds, and half of those borrowed funds came from foreign countries. That would mean all of these statements suggesting all federal spending has been coming from taxpayer money cannot be true. Was that false information? Ask the people who were on the Bowles-Simpson commission. If the federal debt has increased from $16 trillion in 2011 to $36 trillion as of November 2024, see this web page, fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt/, then by definition, much federal spending has not been coming from taxpayer dollars. What I hope the American people want clarification on is the exact percentage of federal spending coming from borrowed funds, and the exact percentage coming from federal tax receipts. Keith Hall, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office from 2015-2018, further confused the issue when he said in August 2023 that 30% of the then $32 trillion debt is owed to China and Japan. That would be $9.6 trillion owed to people in those two countries. That is not consistent with published written documents of the Congressional Budget Office saying those two countries hold a total of about $1.8 trillion of federal debt. The total is at $36 trillion, 34 billion as of this past week November according to the U.S Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service. That number breaks down into smaller numbers owed to organizations and governments. The Treasury executives could clear up any confusion by providing a list of the creditors down to the nearest $50 billion. This level of debt is alarming because the annual interest payments have reached near $900 billion, larger than the Defense budget. The only thing higher is the budget for Social Security. The public has been getting a list of the cabinet secretary nominees for his administration. Do you realize that most of their departments, the ones they will manage, will be getting a budget like 1/10 the interest owed on the federal debt?

    • @chrisdorman-c5r
      @chrisdorman-c5r 2 години тому

      We know very little because these committees and their member do not want to make the objective getting high quality information about what happens inside these federal agencies, and how they operate the programs. In 2011 the federal debt was at $16 trillion. As of November 19, 2024, the Fiscal Service Bureau of the U.S. Treasury is reporting it at $36,034 trillion. We have added about $20 trillion since 2011. That means, at least to me, that $20 trillion of federal spending between 2011 and this date in 2024 has come from borrowed funds. Nearly all leaders of the federal government, and those in the American press have been relating federal spending exclusively to taxpayer dollars. Maybe using statements suggesting that it has makes them feel completely virtuous, even though it is inconsistent with running federal deficits. The federal debt is the sum of the annual deficits. As long as we have deficits, the federal debt increases, and the annual interest payments increase. I am interested in how U.S. Treasury officials actually calculate the annual interest payments because not all U.S. Treasury securities are at the same interest rate,, which makes the calculation more complex. The Treasury Department reports the annual interest payments now at near $900 billion. That is the big problem with this level of debt. That level is higher than for Defense and any other cabinet department. Can taxes be raised enough to cover about a $1.6 trillion annual deficit?I I do know Keith Hall came on C-SPAN n August 2023, and said the federal debt was at $32 trillion then If it is $36 trillion now, then $4 trillion was borrowed between August 2023 and November 2024. We have a president elect who was elected despite court convictions. Could that suggest a loss of faith in many of our institutions that can be tied to the report of the Bowles-Simpson debt commission back in 2011? I do not know the answer to that question. I do know that Donald Trump, back in 2016, was the first president of the United States elected to have never held any position in government before having been elected president.

    • @chrisdorman-c5r

      I think it would be healthier for the American people mentally if our government leaders and those in the American press would stop making expressions relating federal spending exclusively with taxpayer funds.

      @@chrisdorman-c5r we are in debt and that is good information. As for Trump the people studied the case around him and decided for ourselves frankly what we thought he was or wasn’t guilty of. The lawfare was obvious. Yes it is a lack of trust it is clear they are abusing power. On both sides. As for the children the excuses are weak and frankly transparently false. As I pointed out with fact that Ms13 have visible gang marking. Where our money is going we don’t know but it certainly isn’t to fix these issues. Taxes were never meant to be permanent frankly.
