    Sorry… you think foreign aid and infrastructure doesn’t come from tax dollars? What do you think is in government budgets that have to get passed every year?

      The point being is we borrow for those things. Each year we go further and further in debt. Tax revenue is not exceeding the expenditures and it hasn’t for a very long time.
