Thank you, I was about to post something like that

Next time you vote/support for more spending remember it's on your credit card.

Ron Paul makes more sense now?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48121973


I'm fairly certain that even Ron Paul knows full well that the entire western economic 'jig' - is up.
 Quoting: /7007/


Well, not to be a optimist but 1T in year one in debt whilst putting an economy on steroids via the proper economic infrastructure and dealing with natural (or unnatural) disasters is better than 1.25T debt per year whilst destroying it.

But whatever, I'm sure you'll have a boner when the time comes and it all implodes. Tin shacks and Hydrogen cyanide for All!
 Quoting: ChrisVet


Ok, all joking aside..

There are those who want to believe that more debt on top of an already impossible to service debt will 'save' us and Make America Great Again...

They used to be called Keynesians - and economic conservatives used to roundly laugh them off the planet.

My how times change - but the simple math never does - no matter how much HOPIUM is injected into the 'I want to believe' masses.

To me, this isn't about rooting on another Pyrrhic victory for my favorite political football team, it's about what my children and potential grandchildren will have to deal with - and I'm not looking forward to it at all...

The simple math will eventually have it's day, and the more people aware of it , the better they can prepare for the aftermath...

Keynesian economics = socialist bullshit. And I get your argument and agree, @ best we're slowing the bleed-out.

That said - our libertarian pipe dream is dead. The only hope is to prolong our civ (until massive implosion, and ripe pickings for a NWO) via Trumponomics.

My grandchildren will be fucked and probably exterminated 20 years from now. It doesn't make me feel good.

You want to be bummed out, so be it. I refuse. Its all just a ride. cheers

or the 20- 50 Trillion still unaccounted for since they sent that lovely little cruise missile with cute little airliner decals precisely through the Pentagon accounting window ?

No... I don't think that public number quite covers it...

You don't seem to understand what this means for the American way of life.

It is the creditors like China/Japan/Russia and Saudi Arabia which fund the expenditures of the American Government. A repudiation of American national debt just means the American Government goes bankrupt and doesn't pay its creditors.

That actually means no more money for indebted Americans to spend...

The artificial demand from governmental largess means the entire American and probably global economy contracts. This makes everyone poorer except for the people with money who will buy up assets like real estate from mortgagees for pennies on the dollar.

It works out well if you're rich and have enough money saved up to survive for 5 years without an income. But if you rely on your income then you're toast.

Unless you've got enough money to prey on the unfortunate people who aren't as well prepared, you won't win even if you survive.

Consider people with money in the stock market who don't own government bonds. If you don't have the capacity to fund American largess, then your government will just take your assets.

It is only the ability to finance your government in whatever capacity you have that will save you from becoming a statistic when your government goes bankrupt. Because I have no doubt your government won't miss you when they need money to fund their military and essential services according to them.

We can safely assume the western world will become something socially like the Philippines when the supply of credit becomes cut off. America may have nukes, but those nukes won't do you any good when you run out of dollars to buy fuel for planes to drop those nukes. Even with nuke missiles your government won't be able to pay the people at the console to launch those missile.

I wonder what the solution is? Become a socialist country to enslave everyone to force them to work and launch nukes?

Russia ran out of money in the 80s and nukes did nothing for them.
