The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, no. The federal government first must pay the bondholders who own U.S. Treasury debt

Well, yes. The first part are the interest payments. That's called debt service. You're repeating what I told you.

Umm, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurr

Bbbbbbbbuttttt Twumppp. Do you have anything else to say?

Did something significant happen during the last 2 years of his Presidency?

Not a clean bill, no.

So?

This is where your programming breaks.

On the one hand, you whine about the debt ceiling not being raised and complain that too much was spent. But when presented with a bill that cuts spending, you whinge about that also.

Which is it?
