Or about 7x Nvidia's market cap.
So the solution to all of America's problems is to nationalize Nvidia?
You'd need to privatise an already national set of 7 Nvidii.

#42There is a US Treasury API endpoint [1] to see how much money actually comes in. 1. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/gift-contributions-...
We need an API to block the government from spending more money. It seems like voting for "fiscal conservatives" results in bigger spending.
It seems you are more in need of an API to block the government to willingly reduce their income. The US spending per capita isn't that high compared to other developed countries, the US problem is the repeated decisions to have the wealthy citizens not contribute in proportion to their wealth.

#45Seeing how money is spent with:
Medicare
Medicaid
Social Security
Foreign Aid
Section 8
Foodstamps
WIC
And many others
Would suggest not paying down the debt while Congress is still spending like a drunken sailor in a red light district.
This is not even addressing the >200 Trillion entitlements issue

"Invidia" is 1st declension (feminine), so I'd go with Nvidiae.
But if we're going to make it masculine company name, then hell yeah I'm using Nvidii!

>Why should the we accept the continued downfall of public institutions A government spending less money does not equate to spending less money on public institutions. It can even mean spending more money on public institutions, assuming less money is spent on other things, such as unproductive wealth transfers.
> as unproductive wealth transfers. Do you mean progressive taxation here, or something else?
Spending that will not benefit citizens in the future.

The humor on HN on a Sat morning in the summer is fun. Now off to life in the real world.
There are narrow windows of time where the anti-humour down voters are distracted.
It's all about timing.

That’s awesome.
There are some very wealthy people that make a great show of demanding to pay higher taxes. Here’s a mechanism for them to demonstrate sincerity.
