This illustration by Lina Seiche sums up the US government's playbook perfectly:

An infinite cycle of generalized impoverishment in 5 steps:
- US Govt creates a budget
- US Govt ignores the budget
- US Govt says "I'm Broke"
- US Govt prints more money
- US Govt repeats from Step 1
Definition of insanity. Same tasks expecting different results but getting the same results. Fuck “our” government.
And each time the same political show to obtain the same result.
you forgot step 6: go woke again
The problem with this infographic is that the cycle doesn’t show any consequences.
On the upside, it's predictable.
Technically the government acts the same way as any guy with too much credit card debt. He can't print more money like Uncle Sam, but he can get a new credit card, go see the loan sharks, etc...
Exactly, except that the government has never been stopped by anyone. "We are the United States, we can print as much fiat money out of thin air as we want".
