You say that like currency is actually a real thing and not a made up concept.
Tax payer funded bullshit will happen no matter what. If they ain't rebuilding a police station, they're repaving a road that didn't need to be repaved solely to spend the money to say "look, we use it, give us the same budget next year". Local sales tax will go up a percent of a percent of a penny in some fake ass bill that nobody notices.
It's all fake anyway. Who gives a fuck.
Currency is a real thing as long as you (not you specifically, the consumer) are indebted to it. It is the populaces fault that government spending is out of control. I am not aware of a single citizen government overwatch that has access to, observation of, or control of any government funds, beyond an after-the-fact government compiled report. We can't blame Jews or bankers for that. We certainly can't blame some lame ass dirty cop for it neither. That falls on the shoulders of the people of the United States for not taking responsibility that is placed upon their shoulders, with the tools at their feet. Nope. People are too weak, misled, and undereducated, as well as have zero will to put in the equity required to change it.
I mean I know what you saying shit ain't gon change........as long as we all keep that attitude and do nothing about it.
Edit: Like 90% of crimes you get arrested for are commerce related (only murder, assault, sex related crimes not associated with prostitution, dui really stand out as exceptions). If I sell drugs without a license, I created a commerce crime, robbery/theft - commerce crime, if I drive on a suspended license, fictitious plates, criminal speed, no insurance, not paying fines and penalties etc I'm commiting commerce crimes, if I run on the court during an NBA game and interrupt the game and get arrested, I interrupted commerce and committed a crime against commerce. If that doesn't tell you currency is a real thing, add on that you have to have money and/or clout to get off, not sure what would. Shit, the prison industry itself rivals the commerce of many nations, I'm certain.
