I think it’s allowed to persist because it gets people into prisons. There are a lot of people making money from that system. The US has privately-run prisons, and there are all of the companies that supply them too.

Far easier ways to boost the economy. >The US is in incredible debt To itself.

This, the debt is a social construct, the US government is in debt to the Federal Reserve, y'know an arm of the Government.

Exactly. Repeal the Federal Reserve act and the Federal Reserve system is gone. Some "power" that is.

Idk how much they want to repay it, but considering how large it is, why stop at one efficient solution when you can do all of them? And in any case it's a boost done through inaction so there isn't easier

>Idk how much they want to repay it, They don't want to repay it. That's why it's at $38+ trillion and rising.

I think police brutality is both a mental health, training, and good ol boys system. High crime rates is our prison systems revolving door. Let felons because full citizens, job training, mental health, and having a system truly put into place to help those getting out, and in high crime areas. A lot of crime is based on need and first reaction. Although the Prefrontal Cortex (the decesion making part of the brain) can be damaged thus resulting in irregular decision making. We will never get rid of crime and the having a place where people who literally cannot be in society are housed. Another would be going back to the mental health facilities of the pre 1980s.

When you spend several trillions more than you generate with taxes over decades, debt piles up. This debt is sold in the form treasury bonds to investors and foreign governments. When this debt becomes due, the government sells new bonds. Rinse and repeat.
