Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

The (current) U.S. National debt - The (true) state of the U.S. economy.

If you want to know where the U.S. economy is (Truely) headed in the next 12 months.

Take a look at the (Conference Board) LEI - Leading Economic Index.

The U.S. National debt -

  • Under Trump just blew past $39.0 Trillion (and rising).

It has grown $1.0 Trillion since late October 2025 (5 months).

  • Cumulated Interest per year paid by U.S. taxpayers is now $993.0 Billion a year (and rising) to outside Investors who finance it (U.S. based, Japan; China; etc.) per usdebtclock.

Wars are (Very costly) and will (not if) move this much higher, coupled with Corporate Tax breaks; and for the wealthy over 10 years ($600.0 Billion from the Trump Tax bill).

This will (not if) affect the U.S. economy in a (Very negative) way as time moves along.

These are the facts.

We need to revamp the tax code to ensure minimum payments by individuals and corporate entities. The Accountants lobby will scream & rend their clothes bc we are “targeting” them but it’s ridiculous the IRS cant answer a tax question without the “we’re not liable if this info is wrong!”
We also need to cut spending dramatically - Trump/Elon tried this and we’ve seen how well that went over!
Finally, real accountability by Local/State and Federal govt on tax dollars spend. The fraud and abuse in Minn and CA are just mind boggling and everyone wants to pass the blame without fixing the problem!

This has nothing to do with Verizon and all countries are at the same debt levels and many in Europe are even higher. Everyone knows the US national debt is out of control but nobody seems to want to fix it. Every time the republicans try to fix it the democrats run ads that they are tossing grandmother over the cliff in a wheel chair. So nothing gets done. The fact is in order to fix the debt issue social programs will have to be cut by 50% and held at that level for 25 years excluding SSI and everyone knows this. Also taxes have to be paid by 100% of the work force, no exception and that flat rate tax will be at 25% across the board for 25 years, everyone knows this. Yet NO ONE can get elected to fix it, so WHAT IS YOUR POINT? If you were smart you'd be investing in gold and silver... just say'n!
