Why isn't this guy running for President?
1. Money; it is very expensive to run for president.
2. He is a Republican, he does not have a chance so long as Trump is still alive and eligible for a second term.
3. It's not exactly an easy or fun job.
4. These days, being president means that you will be vilified by about 50% of the population one way or another.
He could run for president but that would essentially be a means of spoiling either Bidon or Trump. So he might be able to effectively select the next president by running, but might burn his future chances at holding public office ever again.
because nobody gonna vote buddy
My favorite CZcams series rn
Likewise, I like seeing an impending global recession approach in real time
Hopefully historians find this video after the US collapses. They will see that we weren't all stupid. Some of us fought hard to fix things, but too many people didn't care.
This man will be remembered for centuries
Sadly as the one sane guy that no one listened to
They're 30 years too young 😢
I could watch these presentations every day. Knowledge is power. Thanks for educating the public to this critical government oversight
Thanks to this guy who actually speaks about the reality of this crisis.
Looks like we’re gonna lose our country.
This is as fascinating as it is horrifying to watch. Hang on folks.
Thanks uniparty. 170 years of 2 parties, 435 reps for 330 million isnt a republic.
I love this dude, preach brother!
The issue in this video is at the time of my post there are 211 likes, 8.4k views. This should be shown in every college mandatory. Every economic class should be having debates about this subject. But nobody’s listening. Most voters have no idea and yet are voting. That is the problem.
HIgh School too
Proper discharge of debt means they can't make any more money nor exploit the debt for profit.
Days of reckoning approaching....
The fetal position line went hard...
We need a hug! We do, we are always beat up on, no money for groceries, cars, more or less fun. It sucks!
We are paying interest cos we've been borrowing too much....cos for the last 20 yrs we haven't been paying enuf taxes
Wouldn't need to borrow 10 trillion dollars. If we taxed people instead.....or....went without.
Keep doing what you're doing good Sir!
I can respect this man's passion for the issue, but there IS fundamental wealth inequality in America, and maybe if all the people who had to work for a living werent so poor, they could be in better health and live better lives.
Thank you
Please enlighten to understand as to why congress representatives are not sitting on the seats at the USA congress
Lmao the Republicans did this to us 😂
More than one lady during the last century told me about what it was like while the second world war was ending in Germany. Their relatives living there had to use a wheel barrow to bring enough money along to buy only a bag of groceries. Inflation was at such a high rate there in Germany at the time any man left who was often geting paid had to learn how to spend all of his money in only a day to prevent it from losing value all the more.
What I'm getting out of this is that most debate about our budget is just nitpicking over rounding errors and we should really be going after the handful of companies that control our entire food industry.
Oh, you mean reinforcing the powers of some regulatory agencies to improve food standards?
Or do you mean the Republican plan to dismantle the FDA so food companies can do whatever they want to make more profits even if it poisons us?
So the dollar bill has a value of..39c.
So that's why everything looks expensive..?
So a 20$ an hour job at Mcdonald's.. is actually paying.. 7.80$ an hour.
And now a..44.6 % Capital gains tax.
And the oil just got shut down.
This is something totally different headed our away... Digital biotech.
Fifteen minute cities.
Fascinating.. To watch things move.
What do you mean by giving the people a chance to become healthy? It is a very big rabbit hole that involves changing lifestyles of people. You need to convince people to be healthy, get out of their *comfort zone*. That is a major undertaking, especially for young adults and older.
Also, because of the inflation, food products or in general, *essential* services become more expensive, but what stays cheaper that most regular food products? *trash food* like fries, hamburgers etc, rich in fats, increasing obesity among other things.
It is sad to see the democrats not taking the bull by its horns and tackling the snowball that gets bigger every year, but hopefully something gets done.
based
the only way it all corrects is if the government itself comes forward with a technological breakthrough that happens to be guide-railed by a proper ideology. We can't count on that.
RUN FOR PRESIDENT DAVID!
Impressive
I'm listening. Doing the math.
Basically non tangible notes by definition as of now.
Wish place weren't empty!
when the congress seats are empty means people are in their offices doing their job, its like the "sitting in meeting vs in front of your computer doing what they paid you to do" kind of idea
Retirement funds are built on bonds !!!! It’s people investing into America!!
As a leftist, Schweikert is one of the few Republicans I feel like I can actually respect. I don't agree with everything he says or votes for, but he genuinely seems to give a shit, and he seems to focus on real problems, not just the modern typical vague MAGA crap that has no real plan or the anti-social stuff where republicans just want to ban whatever LGBT crap people want to do. More republicans should follow in his example. It would certainly lower my stress levels by a lot if they did. I'd love to be disagreeing over economic policy again rather than social policy.
As a person still trying to find where I stand in politics, I have realized that the voters on the moderate left and the non maga republicans actually see the same issues. They just haven’t studied the facts that people like Schweikert presents. I highly recommend you study the thoughts of Milton Friedman and F A Hayek and you will see the parallels between their views and the views of the modern individual concerned with where society and the economy is headed such as Schweikert
The Bad with the idea of fixing obesity:
- You have to make sure that places like McDonalds are not the go-to food
- You can't make them NOT be the go-to food IF THEY ARE THE CHEAPEST OPTION - and cheap is what we CAN afford right now
- People would be more healthier if they could afford things, would already own a house, etc. so they wouldn't have to spend so much on such crazy rent prices, could afford better healthcare, yada yada, it's a complicated big deal.
Rep., I know you are aware of this. I would love if you could go more in-debt regarding this matter. It is a branch of things that is currently wrong in the country, and what it would take reigning in all of those matters - addressing the food inflation, addressing rent, addressing housing crisis, healthcare in a way to actually assist obese patients (esp those with hormonal/psychological issues), etc -
You see the actual details more than we do, and we would love for somebody to actually Speak it out, so that we can Focus on those matters and speak up about them ourselves when it comes to elections, and inspiring other countries as well.
Thank you so much for your work, incredible watching you-and your colleagues on these videos. - greetings from Hungary
What is the drop dead date? When will all taxes be consumed by interest on our national debt? THEN WHAT???
Hyperinflation
If you had to pay 12.4% on unrealized gains year after year, you'd have to sell the asset to make the payments, which would then be taxed as well...
So they want to hit the small business Again… We all understand the Economy was off shored to mostly Asia while the representatives kept spinning the messaging to our detriment
You mean the lack of attendance
yeah , were doomed, we know. basically it5s enjoy life till the wheels fall off then restart with another kind of yet unknown economic system .
It’s sad that this man is obviously invested and upset at what is to come and there’s nobody there
He’s explained before that no one should be there. These speeches happen during office hours and such when the rest are in meetings and doing paperwork. They are recorded and broadcast throughout the campus
Correction after we reach 3 trillion
And why are we still sending money to foreign nations?
Yeah so what the interest is in bonds to us citizens 😂
Less then whatever you bought them for thanks to credit card debt
Less then whatever you bought them for because of credit card debt
Who's he talking to? Either there is nobody there or they're all dressed like empty seats. The people who squander our tax money should be FORCED to listen to him speak.
when the congress seats are empty means people are in their offices doing their job, its like the "sitting in meeting vs in front of your computer doing what they paid you to do" kind of idea
@@turkizno I beg to differ.
Sadly the Progressive's believe in Modern Monetary Theory ( formally from the past Soviet Union a tokenized general ledger ) with the final act of a central bank digital currency . The end of the Republic and Constitution
😭😭😭😭😭
Considering it was Nixon who turned the $ into a fiat currency, and Reagan who disassociated spending from taxes, and Bush who deregulated bank loans, I am not really sure your comment adds up in reality.
Yet we are sending billions to the genocidal terrorist state of Israel
YOU ARE GENICIDAL TO INTELLIGENCE!
Please don’t give these guys ideas about taxing unrealized capital gains they do that January 6 is gonna look like kindergarten party
Absolute disgusting
yea id hate to be this guy I learned talking to people is pointless, china knows this
Single Payer Health Care!!! and Don't extend the Trump tax cuts! Without the Regan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts the budget would have been close to balanced. There is no proof that the cuts grew the economy and jobs. The cuts grew the stock market.
lower taxes = higher tax revenue, believe it or not; it was covered in one of his previous speeches, and all the historic data/current modeling supports it. Single payer healthcare means the government that has already mismanaged our funds has an even greater roll in healthcare, which means it will just get worse.
The push over the edge is sending trillions to Ukraine.
There’s no gold standard so money is infinite.
Keys are hidden in the ETF REIT pools...it's a debt back security scam. Needs to stop and they need to wipe the consumer end of the debt clean..that means former debt consolidations. If your down to 40-50% of your mortgage standing is paid off or paid down as of right now..chances are the rest of it is consumer debt on the home that isn't yours and you can't get refinanced without being exploited for twice the cost for anyone else to pick up the debt. This is how you know you have bifurcated mortgages. It's impossible to get a lower rate, FHA won't allow it and banks want twice the current rate to deal with the debt which just inflates everything by 50% or more each and every time they buy and sell or transfer the mortgage without a proper discharge of debt that isn't related to the actual home cost. When you do the math they would owe you money. Trust me I did the math! That's 50% amortized each time not just the base value of the home..it's an entire new mortgage with huge amounts of exploitation of income generation.
This is guy is singing gospel to poor people who don't realize he wants them to work longer hours for less pay to "strengthen" the economy. Truly modern-day peasant cheering for the king's new palace.
I think we need to stop paying congress
Its not that ssi is bankrupting usa, but that ssi is way to expensive.
Temo healthcar like a billionar!
So china stoped building ghost citys of empty condos that no one wants and took an econ class, to understand supply and demand then watched your videos to realize that usa biggest problem is healthcare, and insurance monoplies are way too expensive. (79.7 cents per premium dollar is spent by insurers on health care proper and 17.8 cents on the insurers' “operating costs,”) So they are building cruseships with hospitals where all your drugs, surgeries, and hospital stays are 90% off when you spin the wheel! Yah 😊 🥳
The only problem is they can't doc at our ports.
Just joking they still have know clue about supply and demand and have never watched your video but I have and the usa should have A cruise ship hospital license, that gives a board monitored and sertified, team of doctors and physicians to work a very competitively priced year contracts from different countries around the world and they provide all there own insurance and equipment and bulk priced drugs at a competitive price, then a patient could be charged a fraction of the price on ssi.
The whole ship would still be profitabel and taxable as apossed to a china version. Either way the savings would be an improved heathcare alternative.
Besides my grandma loves cuises.
Mercy Ships was founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens in Lausanne in Switzerland.
Mercy Ships is an international charity based on Christian values that operates the largest non-governmental hospital ships in the world with a surgical capacity of 7,000 interventions per year.
If 1/3 of usa debt , is healthcare, Since 2008, the average cost of a family health insurance premium has risen 75%. So you could say that heathcare might destroy the great republic of usa.
In a free market prices are always falling as saturation of new compitition entering the market pushes prices down,
This dosnt happen if there's a goverment protected monoply that keeps prices artificially high by insintivised blocking of new compitition through litigation or fees.
Our heath care is one of manny such industorys, ( not unlike defence and housing or even food) that is abusing this prosses to the benifite of buracrats receving special compensation to keep it that way.
The sulution is simple, add more compitition tell the price to see the doctor is cheep.
Most likely out of futility, i would like to suggest we designate a very affective platform that solves this problem.
Its not osimpic royalties, but over all health training ingredients and compitition that is the sulution to a healthy and less indebted country.
With an average of 79.7 cents per premium dollar is spent by insurers on health care proper and 17.8 cents on the insurers' “operating costs,”
The usa has a horabal insurance monopoly problem, the sulutions is not sosalist government caps on inavation to get rushias horabal helthcare. How about usa owned, but universaly contracted heathcare on cruise ships.
Our debt is crushing our country and (not ai chips or oil is not the reason) over 1/3 of it, is healthcare, Since 2008, the average cost of a family health insurance premium has risen 75%. So you could say that heathcare might destroy the great republic of usa if they don't make it cheeper not more expensive.
In a free market prices are always falling as saturation of new compitition entering the market pushes prices down,
This ofcorse dosnt happen if there's any goverment protected monoply that keeps prices artificially high by insintivised blocking of new compitition through litigation or fees.
Our heath care is one of manny such industorys, ( nor unlike defence and housing or even food) that is abusing this prosses to the benifite of buracrats receving special compensation to keep it that way.
The sulution is simple, ad more compitition tell the price to see the doctor is cheep.
Although bureaucrats are the bigest reason this might not happen.

If our mighty senitors were to grant A cruse ship hospital license, that aloud a board monitored and sertified, team of doctors and physicians to work a very competitively priced year contracts from different countries around the world and they provide all there own insurance and equipment at a competitive price, then a patient could be charged a fraction of the price
VERY LOW prices for simular care but that team payes usa taxes.
There would be a insurance bond reqirment for each contractor bid and working conditions that must be met or fees would apply, ( insuring quality control) but it would be likely 75% cheeper than our medical is charging state side.
Once one model works rinse and repeat intell ssi and medicare is 75% off.
an average of 79.7 cents per premium dollar is spent by insurers on health care proper and 17.8 cents on the insurers' “operating costs,” leaving only 2.7 cents per premium dollar as profits.
THIS PROCESS IS INTEDED LOWER INCURANCE COST NOT TO HURT USA PHYSICIAN WAGES SO AT SOME POINT THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A PHYSICIANS MINIMUM WAGE LAW. (I personally think they are not paid enough)
In land healthcare will still have demand but there will be a downward pricing presser that dosnt exists today.
There's nothing stopping china from working out of Mexico or the Caribbean rite now to do this but the usa could subsidize, facilitate, and directly insintivise, ssi patients to use it as apossed to the super expensive alternitve saving the usa tresseries trillions over the next ten years.
Even if you can get healthcare to be 75% cheeper the government needs buget spending caps or they will create the same problem again.
The government does not identify as understanding math.
Listen most 77% of all us debt is held domestically!!!
No comments huh?
Commie bastards.
If$.39 of every tax dollar equat to 1/3 dollar how the hell do we pay 5 trillion a year?
Stop giving to other people 😭😭
Forbes do better! This guy is a loser!
Look 1:21 behind you nobody cares
They speak and it recorded for the rest
Lmao look at the crowd 😂 no one thinks this guy is legit 😂
Doesn't work like that they record it and then they play It in their offices
This is so misleading, money ain’t real no one will ever call this debt in. Get over yourself. Republicans if anyone put us into this position, bush Afghanistan/iraq! Trump trillions in tax breaks for the rich!!! It’s so stupid that they make this argument 😂. There’s something. Called return on money. Social policies return on money is so much better for the economy than tax breaks for the rich. The rich don’t/can’t spend that much money it goes into their bank account. That’s it.
The rich don't keep money they invest money sitting on money is lost revenue.
you know not of what you speak.
