How Trump Is Fixing the Revenue Side of the Federal Government and, In Turn, The Nation's Economy

As readers of this blog know, I have never voted for a Republican for President since I began voting in the 1970s. Thus, I am not a Trump voter. However, I have avoided coming down with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and have kept an open mind about him. I find him obnoxious, graceless, and certainly not smooth.

However, he has been effective in other facets of his life and he has been effective as President so who cares if he is not graceful and eloquent? Consider the following stats as a historical review:

• When Trump left office in 2021, the average price of a gallon of gas was $2.42, when Biden left office the average cost was $3.08.
• When Trump left office in 2021, the average 30 year mortgage rate was 2.65, when Biden left office the average cost was 7.04%.
• When Trump left office in 2021, the average cost of a dozen eggs was $1.47, when Biden left office the average cost of a dozen eggs was $4.95.

I could go on but you get the idea: I do not care what a politician's personality is as long as he or she delivers results for Americans, much like Trump did in his first term and unlike what Biden did in his only term.

Since coming into office three months ago, Trump has made excellent progress on several major issues facing the country including illegal immigration, illegal drugs flooding into the country, wasteful government spending, and the need to develop the country’s manufacturing base. Over the next series of posts, we are going to focus on the last two aspects of his progress, eliminating wasteful government spending and developing the country’s manufacturing base.

We have already done a series of posts on Trump’s attacking of wasteful government spending which began with the following post:

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2025/02/february-2025-by-numbers-part-2.html

We will get back to wasteful spending since Trump and Elon Musk have continued to identify stupid and wasteful government spending since the above posts on wasteful spending were discussed.

Today, however, we will review the various sources and companies that have promised to invest in America as a result of Trump’s policies. Revenue and expenses/costs are part of any business and Trump is a businessman. Thus, today let’s focus on “revenue:” generating jobs, wealth, and eventually taxes. And in the following posts we will go through the incredible amount of wasteful spending that he and his team has identified, something any business owner should always be doing, optimizing and hopefully minimizing his company’s costs.

But today, Trump’s efforts to bring investments and jobs to the country:

1) Apple recently announced that it will bring up a quarter million square foot factory in Texas by 2026. This factory will be focused on building artificial intelligence servers and this effort will create about 20,000 research and development jobs across the country.

It also announced that it plans to spend a half trillion dollars in the U.S. in the next four years. These expenses and investments will be spread out across its many product lines including purchases from U.S. suppliers and filming TV shows for its streaming service.

According to Apple CEO, Tim Cook: “As a proud American company, we're thrilled to continue to make significant investments in the US. Today, we’re announcing a $500 billion commitment to support American innovation, advanced manufacturing, and high tech job creation.”

2)Kimberly-Clark recently announced that it plans to domestically invest $2 billion over the next five years. This will be the company’s biggest U.S. investment in over 30 years.

This investment will greatly expand its manufacturing base to keep up with domestic demand for its many consumer products. The company expects this investment to create over 900 high end industrial automation and advanced manufacturing jobs.

According to Group Vice President for North America, Russ Torres: "This landmark investment represents a strategic bet on the American consumer and our ability to drive innovation-led sustainable growth for Kimberly-Clark. It reflects the confidence we have in our long-term growth plans and complements a broad range of commercial and R&D investments we have been making throughout the business as part of our Powering Care transformation journey."

A new factory in Warren, Ohio will be spread out over 1 million square feet. A new regional distribution center in South Carolina will streamline and improve the company’s logistics and delivery capabilities.

3)The United Arab Emirates recently committed to spending/investing a whopping $1.4 trillion in the U.S. over the next ten years. These investment will be done in various fields including AI, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing.

For example, Emirates Global Aluminium will build the first new aluminum smelter in the country in 35 years. Such an investment is expected to double U.S domestic aluminum production.

4)Saudi Arabia’s crown prince recently announced that he wants his country to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. According to a Saudi spokesperson: “The crown prince affirmed the kingdom’s intention to broaden its investments and trade with the United States over the next four years, in the amount of $600 billion, and potentially beyond that.”

5)Japanese Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba recently promised to boost Japan's investment in the U.S. by $1 trillion after a recent meeting with Trump. Part of this commitment involves boosting Japan’s importation of U.S. liquefied natural gas.

The Prime Minister, during the meeting, also pointed out how two Japanese car companies, Toyota and Isuzu, have plans to build factories in the U.S.

[Note: these stories and actions were reported by reputable news sources including Reuters, Associated Press, Japanese Times, and other sources.]

Big companies and wealthy nations are committing to making big investments in the U.S. as a result of Trump’s efforts and business negotiating skills. These investments will create jobs and wealth, the “revenue” side of the equation we discussed above.

But investments in America and our economy are not related to these huge investments discussed above:

• IBM - $150 billion to be spent over the next five years for manufacturing operations.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific - $2 billion over the next four years to expand its manufacturing and innovation projects.
• Corning - $1.5 billion to expand its manufacturing location, adding 400 new jobs.
• Merck - $1 billion investment to build a new manufacturing plant in Delaware to create more than 500 new jobs.
• Amgen - $900 million investment in its Ohio manufacturing operation.
• The Bel Group - $350 million investment to expand its U.S. manufacturing across several states.
• Nvidia - $599 billion investment over four years invested in its AI infrastructure.
• Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing company - $100 billion investment in its U.S.-based chips manufacturing.
• Johnson & Johnson - $55 billion investment over four years in its manufacturing, research, and development operations.
• Roche - $50 billion investment in its U.S. manufacturing and research operations, creating more than 1,000 jobs.

I will end this discussion here but we could list out dozens of other domestic and foreign companies and nations that have committed to invest trillions of dollars in the U.S. economy over the next decade or so.

And this is why I do not care that Trump is an obnoxious, crude person. The only thing that matters is positive results, regardless of what you think of the person creating these positive results. The investment plans discussed above, the “revenue” component of the business of government, are amazing. Over the next several posts we will continue to discuss the unbelievable number of wasteful projects and efforts that are wasting taxpayer wealth every day, the “expense” side of the government.

Happy New Year And Welcome To $125,000,000,000,000 In Government Debt

As the new year dawns, I am sure there are plenty of people out there who are thankful for Joe Biden's recent election victory. I'm sure there are also plenty of disappointed Trump fans. And there are probably a lot of other people, myself included, who sincerely believe that the recent Presidential election was the most corrupt, most fraudulent, and criminal election in the history of the country.

But none of that really matters. There is only one issue, only one number in this country that matters, all other issues are trivial relative to this one issue/one number. And neither Biden nor Trump, Republicans nor Democrats, paid any attention to this issue in the Presidential campaign. Only one national political party and only one national Presidential candidate realized the critical nature of this issue and number and she didn't get elected.

And the one issue, the only number that matters in this country today is this: $125,000,000,000,000. For those counting at home, that number is $125 TRILLION. That is a conservative estimate of the total debt that the American political/criminal class has burdened the American taxpayer with today. [Note: testimony at a recent Congressional hearing put this number above $140 TRILLION but let's stay conservative for this discussion at $125 TRILLION.] This is the amount of current debt and estimated future unfunded financial liabilities that have been incurred at the city, state, and Federal levels of government.

Now, $125 TRILLION is a LOT of money. Consider:

• If you had spent $1,000,000 a DAY since the day Christ was born, you would still not have spent $1 TRILLION. And we are facing a $125 TRILLION debt.
• For those of you who falsely think that any problem can be solved by taxing the rich more, think again. For example, the estimated total wealth of the richest American today, Jeff Bezos, is about $175 billion. Let’s assume we do not raise his tax rate, let’s assume we confiscate everything he owns, sell it off and use the proceeds to pay off some debt. If that could be done, the total amount of debt that could be paid off would be about .14%. Not 14%, not 1.4%, but just.14%, an exercise in futility.
• In fact, the Federal Reserve Board just published its annual wealth forecast. The Fed estimates that the total wealth of EVERY American comes out to about $123 TRILLION. In other words, if you liquidated the wealth of EVERY American and used the proceeds to pay off debt, you still couldn't pay off $125 TRILLION.
• Every man, woman, and child in this country would have to write a check for almost $400,000 EACH to pay off the debt, meaning that a family of four would have to write a check for about $1.6 million.

What is more distressing, is as you read this the total debt continues to increase every second, every minute, every hour. And at some point, that debt bubble is going to burst and flood this country in red ink, washing away any other issue that you may think is important today. If we are not already in it already, we are on the verge of a financial death spiral that will not end well for the country.

In fact, that debt bubble has likely already started to spring some leaks. Like minor tremors that rumble before a major earthquake hits, there are minor financial death spirals that are already underway in cities and states across the country. It is my prediction that within 3-4 years a major U.S. city will declare bankruptcy. And this city could be big enough to dethrone Detroit who currently holds the dubious title, “Largest American city to ever go bankrupt.”

And I believe that city will be Chicago. It is highly likely that Chicago is already in a self feeding, financial death spiral, given the following conditions:

• For years the city experienced an outflow of residents and businesses out of the city because of high taxes and crime.
• In fact, the mayor, Lori Lightfoot, recently met with and literally begged business leaders not to leave the city.
• As this migration out of the city has grown, the tax base has shrunk which has reduced the tax stream which has placed pressure on the city’s annual budget needs.
• This has resulted in pressure to raise taxes even more and make cuts to city government services such as police, fire, EMT, sanitation, and schools. 
• It was recently estimated that the city already faces about a $1 billion tax revenue shortfall for fiscal 2021 even though the year has just started. 
• And since the city is having trouble meeting current year costs and expenses, it cannot devote any money to paying down its unfunded future liabilities.
• And these liabilities are substantial, with the “official” government accounting process estimating that the city has $42 billion in unfunded future liabilities.
• But a real world accounting of the future unfunded liabilities puts the real number at $76.5 billion (or about a $28,000 debt burden for every man, woman and child living in the city).
• In the mean time, violent crime in the city has skyrocketed, with murders up about 60% the past year allowing the city to continue to be the “murder capital” of the country.
• High and rising taxes, high and rising crime rates, more and more unfunded liabilities coming due, and lower government services will contribute to more out migration of residents and businesses which will reduce the tax stream which will require more taxation and more cuts to services and the financial death spiral is in place.

It is not a pretty financial sight and to think that an inept city political class and inept mayor can fix what they have broken is probably a wrong assumption.

But while Chicago probably has the lead today regarding going bankrupt, there is some stiff competition for that distinction. Other cities, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, and others are close behind. All of these cities face the same problems: residents and businesses moving out, taking jobs and tax revenue with them, quickly rising crime rates, cuts to city services which reduce the quality of city life for residents and businesses, massive amounts of unfunded financial liabilities, etc. Which one will make it to the bankruptcy courthouse steps first is still open for debate.

And Chicago is unlikely to get any substantial help from its state government since the state government of Illinois is, in my view, going to be the first U.S. state to ever go bankrupt. Now, here is a legal position that says that a state cannot declare bankruptcy but that is really just a technicality. When a state has far more costs, expenses and liabilities than the revenue and assets to cover it, it is in a state of de facto bankruptcy even if the strict legal definition of bankruptcy cannot be applied.

Illinois faces the same problems that Chicago does:

• In any study of population migration, the state of Illinois is always a top three state as far as losing residents and businesses no matter how you measure migration.
• Like Chicago, the state also has outrageously high unfunded future financial liabilities.
• The official estimate of Illinois state government unfunded financial liabilities is $196 billion but using real accounting principles vs. government accounting principles we see the real level of unfunded liabilities is $327 billion (a debt burden of over $25,000 for every man, woman, and child living in the state), all of which will become due in the coming years, putting more pressure on the already difficult to fund annual costs and expense streams.
• This year over year out migration reduces the tax base and tax stream requiring more taxes and fewer government services which reduces the quality of life which results in more out migration and the state level financial death spiral has begun.
• Several years ago the state was so strapped for funds that while it continued to sell state lottery tickets it stopped paying winners of the state lottery while also finding it difficult to fund ammunition for the state’s law enforcement officers. 

But like Chicago, Illinois is not a lock to become the state to enter into at least a de facto state of bankruptcy. Other states, most notably California ($991 billion in unfunded liabilities), New York ($304 billion in unfunded liabilities), New Jersey $163 billion in unfunded liabilities) and Connecticut ($69 billion in unfunded liabilities), could go belly up first given the same state government problems: out migration of residents, jobs, businesses and the tax stream associated with these moves, very high unfunded future financial liabilities, rising crime rates in the face of lower government services, etc. Illinois is leading coming around the last turn but it is still a race to the bankruptcy line.

And while these mini-financial death spirals are already underway across the country, the Federal government is not doing much better:

• Medicare Part A will officially go bankrupt in 2026, i.e. the Part A “trust fund” will be officially depleted.
• This means that it will theoretically no longer officially be able to pay 100% of the promised benefits.
• A similar situation exists with Social Security, its “trust fund” will officially be depleted by 2035 which means it theoretically will no longer be able to pay 100% of the promised benefits.
• But this is all just government semantics, Medicare and Social Security have been essentially bankrupt for years since they annually pay out far more in benefits than they collect in specific taxes to fund the programs.
• In fact, you can make a case that the Social Security trust fund went bankrupt back in the 1960s when the Washington political class took an actuarially sound retirement system, raided its accumulated wealth, and replaced it with the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of humanity.
• But the worse news is there is estimated to be at least $80 TRILLION in unfunded Social Security and Medicare liabilities that will become due in the coming years as Baby Boomers retire and age.
• This $80 TRILLION will become part of the Federal government’s annual expense stream over the years which will likely add more debt to the current $27+ TRILLION national debt.
• As Social Security and Medicare payments take up more and more of the Federal government budget, pressure will rise to either raise taxes or reduce benefits or do both to cover the ever widening annual budget deficit.
• But reducing benefits will hurt the financial living standards and medical support for retired and disabled Americans.
• Raising taxes will, as this almost always does, reduce economic growth and vitality and the promised/expected gain from raising taxes will never materialize as it never does.
• Thus, despite raising taxes and reducing benefits, the debt bubble will continue to expand as unfunded liabilities become due, which will put pressure on the Federal Reserve to start printing money to reduce the Federal government’s ever growing annual budget deficit and national debt load. 
• But printing money is never the long term answer since it will decimate the savings plans of retired Americans, it will decimate economic growth and worse of all, it will start an upward spiral of inflation which eventually turns into hyperinflation.
• At this point the cost of financing the debt will also skyrocket which will make borrowing money to fund the debt more expensive.
• As the dollar gets weaker and weaker as a result of hyperinflation and the printing of money, at some point the world will turn away from the American dollar as the currency of choice and replace it with another currency, likely the Chinese Yuan, a seismic shift that will further decimate the dollar’s value.
• At some point the currency collapses, the economy collapses, and our democracy collapses, making us a footnote in history along the hyperinflation disasters of the Weimar Republic and current day Venezuela.

And if anyone thinks that Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and the rest of the Washington political class have the brains, will power, courage and foresight to fix this debt crisis before it bursts, you are likely sadly mistaken. In the 47 years that Joe Biden has been in Washington, the national debt (excluding unfunded Social Security and Medicare liabilities) has grown 59 fold. Not 59%, the nation's debt is 59 times larger today than it was when Biden came into national political office. 

Biden was part of a Presidential administration that added almost as much debt to the national debt as the previous 43 Presidential administrations COMBINED. He was part of a Presidential administration that incurred the first trillion dollar annual Federal budget deficit and that was then repeated three more times. He was part of a Presidential administration that saw the Federal debt to GDP ratio jump about 50% higher than the long term trend and became the first Presidential administration in 66 years to see that raito exceed 100%, something that happened for four years in a row, a dubious debt record that has never happened before.

As far as Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris are concerned, they not only come from California, a state highly likely to go bankrupt in the near future, they both hail from San Francisco, a city highly likely to go bankrupt in the near future. The national debt is 11 times higher than it was when Nancy Pelosi first came to Congress. So to think they have the ability to avert a debt bubble explosion at the national level is a fool’s folly.

So if you are happy Biden probably will be the next President enjoy it today, because given the huge debt burden facing the country, your victory is surely a short term, empty victory at best. If you are a Trump supporter, enjoy today because from a debt perspective it is not likely to get any better any time soon, if ever. Without drastic action immediately, the debt bubble will burst at some point and everything else that seems important today will be washed away in a sea of red ink in the not too distant future. 

Listen for those tremors...and watch the mini-death spirals as they unfold in Chicago, Illinois and elsewhere for a leading indicator of when the big one will hit. Happy new year!

October, 2020, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: Take the Presidential Quiz, Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

45) Which candidate told the widow of a fallen serviceman who died in Afghanistan that she “was too pretty for this to happen to her?”

46) Which candidate claimed that Antifa is just "an idea," which would make it the first "idea" to burn down hundreds of buildings, endanger the lives and property of law abiding businesses and residents, injure hundreds of police officers, and take over the downtown centers of at least two major American cities?

If you answered Joe Biden to each of the above quiz questions you would be 100% correct. Joe Biden, as the above 46 statements seem to indicate, is and has been a serial sexual groper and predator for a very long time. His racist comments and attitudes stretch back decades. He lies at the drop of a hat. His foreign policy decisions and positions have never been right. His corruption, self enrichment and enrichment of his family totals millions and millions of dollars. And his statements of idiocy show that his intellectual depth is not that great. 

His over four decade career in Washington politics is void of any significant, positive achievement except for making his family fabulously wealthy. His positions and work have caused the negative disruption of millions of lives, from his advocacy of the Clinton crime bill and the detrimental effect it has had on minorities in this country to his support of stupid foreign wars in Iraq and Libya which has unnecessarily devastated the lives of millions of people overseas. He is not a friend of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, preferring to support the PLO and Israel’s mortal enemy, Iran.

I welcome anyone to give me 46 reasons why Biden should be elected and would be an effective leader, given his dismal record of politics, foreign policy, and human decency as illustrated by the 46 points above.

But I also have another problem, a deeply personal problem, with the Biden campaign. I was once the long-time co-guardian of an uncle who suffered terribly from dementia. I saw close up what a horrible fate and a horrible end of life experience this disease is. It robs a person of their dignity and their life experiences. And I believe that Joe Biden is in the throes of a similar fate, given his recent behaviors of confusion, aggression, and inability to string two or three thoughts together, the symptoms my uncle exhibited throughout his mental decline.

Thus, I find it disgusting, inhumane, and a severe form of elder abuse that his wife, his family, his friends, and his party handlers would subject him to the rigors, stress, and humiliations of a Presidential campaign for their own benefit. I personally do not feel he is fit from a cognitive ability perspective to be President and for his inner circle of friends and family to put him through this experience when he should be relaxing and enjoying the remaining years of his life, given his mental state, is personally repugnant to me. May they find their just rewards either in this life or the next life for their selfish use and abuse of a senior citizen in distress and for putting the country in this position.
