In the US healthcare system a bag of water with salt costs hundreds of dollars. You can cap the price of one thing and then the whack a mole game starts.

The conflicts in the middle east costed trillions of dollars and there is absolutely nothing to show for it.

Quantitative easing costed trillions of dollars and it was essentially legalized theft.

If someome became "the richest person" probably you can learn something from that person. Without SpaceX, the US would have to use Russian rockets to put stuff in space. And much of what was achieved would have happened elsewhere in the world first.

The US is at the verge of bankruptcy and it is not because of $400m in trucks.

And it is not a Democrat or Republican issue, as I said, everyone is getting rich at the expense of the taxpayer, even taxpayers that haven't even been born yet are in debt already thanks to the free ponies to all mentality.

Would you bet the republic on your understanding of QE? I sure hope not

Whatever solution to the crisis I think it should have involved some jail time.
