Jesse and James were always effective, they just suck at villainy. They are good at dressing up, making rube-goldberg devices, and many other things, they just aren't evil enough to elevate that potential. If they were, Giovanni would be sleeping with the magi-karp, and Ash would be eaten by their Arbok.
I think it will become trillions, and have far worse effects than just mere money. Those cut services and removed employees, were mechanisms and lubricant for effective, timely government. They are now gone, and the machine will eventually break from the stress. This damage is slow, inevitable, and irreversible.

It is my hope something similar happens when a 2nd American Civil War is concluded. A rebalancing of the scales is sorely needed, so that the American dream can become reality for all.
Heck no. Taxation is good, it helps keep society running...but I don't want to support a Trump Regime society. They will waste it on ICE and other things that make everything worse.
Better for this fascist America to go down in flames, than for it to be prolonged.
Elite conservatives and children?
I use an orange antennae ball, just so that I can pick my vehicle out of a lineup...
I hope that the plebes tear the place down and put that lucre towards groceries and education.
