Debt and Economic Growth
- High national debt relative to GDP is risky because governments repay debt through taxation.
- Excessive taxation discourages investment and hinders economic growth.
Desire and Spending
- Human desire for more fuels continuous spending and dissatisfaction with current possessions.
- This desire influences voting patterns, where individuals prioritize personal gain over long-term national well-being.

- Money printing, while seemingly beneficial, decreases purchasing power by increasing the money supply.
- It disproportionately benefits asset holders who receive guaranteed returns, exacerbating wealth disparity.
