If you have a friend in customs maybe they can explain? But then again you can send flat earthers to the moon and they'll still believe the earth is flat.

just as the US as it stands could technically print its way out of any economic hard spot

It depends. There is no such thing as money printing, not just in the sense that money is electronic entries now. But that the money has to "printed" first before being taxed.

The school textbooks tell you taxes pay for Gov spending. But where did people get the money to pay taxes with? It must have been created first.

All money has to be created first. Banks do it by giving loans, Government does it by spending. Bank money and Government money are the widely accepted forms of money.

I'm not saying US can "print" its way out of problems. But the US can mobilize unemployed/underemployed domestic resources and put them into better use.

Farage is indistinguishable from current "Labour" Government in that they both support austerity. Which leftist is he trying to woo. He will kick out all the immigrants, then what? Will life improve? No in fact it'll be worse.

To pay for it, Farage is promising to end the government’s commitment to net zero, scrap diversity and inclusion schemes and stop housing asylum seekers in hotels or houses of multiple occupancy. Economists said his working was riddled with errors, such as including private sector investment as part of his calculation for how much he could save by ending environmental spending.

Again, why should he "pay for" tax cuts? Does he fear being ousted like Truss even if he's elected?

“Reform’s economic plan means either an explosion in borrowing, pushing up mortgage rates or swingeing cuts in public services like the NHS,” Ashworth said. “Given this is terrain Labour want to fight an election on, Reform have just walked into a trap and Labour strategists will be rubbing their hands with glee.’

Yes blow up the borrowing. As for mortgage rates, build public housing.

Of course, none of them are going to do anything. Not even the Greens or SNP or whatever, they are all afraid of the market gods.

If it is done like that, the government must be willing to add enough money to the fund always if its running low. No excuses like "we can't pay for it because people are ageing" etc.

And unemployed/self-employed ppl should also get similar "insurance" for free, it must be universal in nature.

And corporate taxes should really be seen as a way to reduce private profits and inequality than a funding source. Funding precedes taxation. So the capitalist goes to a bank, the bank adds numbers to their bank account (and a similar loan account), they hire workers, workers create stuff, they take profit from workers, bank is paid back, some of the profit is taxed.

Is that really needed? State should pay for it. Have the state owned hospitals charge nothing for treatment.

Private companies will pay corporate tax not tied to anything.

I think having employers "pay" could result in a situation where the Government claims it can't "afford to" provide Healthcare due to lack of inflows into the fund or too much outflows due to ageing population. Like what happened with Social Security "fund" in the U.S.

Of course, I'm not saying it WILL happen, but I don't think such "funds" are a good idea long term.

I think it's relevant given the courts vs the executive situation in the U.S. currently.

There is no legal requirement for them to so. Suck ups.
