After a while, there won't be any more to tax, to bring in revenues to fund government and their programs, despite the fact that a stable economic environment is critical and essential for those to make money. When will these scumbags realize it and pay their more than fair share?

Albania Freezes Assets in Kushner Resort Probe
A widening property-fraud investigation into a $4 billion luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner has led Albanian authorities to freeze developer assets, compounding pressure from public protests and international critics.

The corruption is just like what is going on in the US

(23,576 posts)These are people who lived for decades under the Enver Hoxha dictatorship - the "Albanian Stalin" who alienated even the USSR and China, and ran the already-poor country into the ground.
So dealing with Jar-Jar and Incestvanka is a walk in the park for them.

(5,127 posts)I believe some kind of criminal investigation is being done into the politicians, wealthy private individuals and companies involved, something about illegally changing laws and possible bribes and kickbacks being involved.

(5,056 posts)Two things attractive: isolation from hordes of refugees, and hoping that ocean will temper extremes.
I think they're also hedging their bets with Montana and such, but continental climates are prone to extremes.

(35,792 posts)"m. hela fella: This is how you deal w/ criminal grifters. Its not nice or polite. It is en masse, loud & unwelcoming. The grifters will have no peace in 🇦🇱 & neither will any of their privileged guests.
Perhaps they can buy land in 🇷🇺 so many people are dead & 🇷🇺 loves grifters & criminals? Or maybe 🇦🇷 w/Thiel?🤮

(3,275 posts)They like the US when they can siphon money out of our Treasury. They like our military protecting their interests all over the world. They like our banking system and the fact that the taxpayers guarantee their money is safe.
But they add absolutely nothing to the American way of life. They are leeches. Criminals. Parasites. Filth.
I keep wondering how much is left in our treasury? They are looting it daily

(3,275 posts)Our national debt is a touch under $40 trillion.
Our GDP is about $32 trillion. When a country's national debt is greater than the annual GDP, we consider that a failed economy. Our debt iw 125% of GDP.
Nothing really prevents deficit spending, as Reagan proved. Many economists believe that when you debt gets above 110% ,you end up spending so much on debt service that the only choice is to keep "printing" money, and eventually that collapses.
So when you ask, "How much is left in teh treasury?", another way to ask that question is, how much longer will other nations keep buying our T-bills. Foreign nations own about $8 trillion of our debt outright. But there are trillions more in the hands of oligarchs all over the world, and they often conspire as a group -- see Davos.

"This way, lovey." Walk towards the jungle, hear the sounds of the crashing waves, the wildlife and the drawing of a bow...
