Debt, in some, perhaps large, part, seems an illusion, a trick, a
joke, in more ways than one, such as if we're talking about fiat
currency, created- and loaned- for very little cost or risk compared with its borrow. (One might imagine the snickering of the bank managers as we blissfully skip away with our signed contracts and some extra wool pulled over our eyes).
"...A primary purpose of the police is to enforce the delusions of those with lots of pieces of green paper..."
Remember the old timers telling you "back in my day all we had to play with as kids was a stick and a hoop."? Well, in the soon to be future you can tell YOUR kids who will be playing with sticks and hoops again about how you used to borrow money to play with high tech gadgetry. That is if you have a free minute or two while trying to survive...
well i have been alarmed about the debt for a ong time, glad it is becoming fashionable at last. note the foreign held part of the debt is about 20% of it i think. most of it is held domestically by wealthy americans who collect interest on a risk-free loan. even so, the fact that all the income tax collected west of the mississippi goes to inerest payments is sobering.
Simple solution Default on everything!! America becomes the world's most hated country but we look to ourselves and only hire within our country to find a new way back to prosperity! If this doesn't work we can always Demonize our complaining creditors and bomb them into their next life!!
This same thing happened just before the french revolution. King Louis XVI had huge debts for France and then he wanted to pay it off by raising taxes on just the poor! They had a revolution because of it! I hope it does not have to come to that here!
How many people who love this commercial also shop at Wal-Mart, sellers of Chinese toys, clothes, food and electronics? To hell with America, got to have our cheap import prices.
Our government has no intention of paying off the debt. They will keep borrowing money so they can keep funding bullshit programs like "Cash for Clunkers" to make it seem like they are helping people, and transfer more debt to our children. We are already paying 500 million daily and that is only going to go up...we are being sucked into a black hole from which we will never recover...unless we demand a president that will stop giving out handouts and force americans to work.
Yey America's falling just like Russia did haha i think they'll have to give away a few states to China! lol Chinese getting their railroad work back! They're definitely gonna want Nevada! Kids new geography books coming out soon with china on the U.S. and America only being Washington a tiny nothing. Oh i hope they don't enslave Americans!
Cloyce has a great point, America consumes more oil than the rest of the world combined. It's not the reason for our current situation, but it SURE does not help. I'm a little sketchy with "defeatthedebt's" connection with fox news........
Fox News was shown to have the least biased coverage during the election. Yes they go overboard, but hell MSNBC gets a hard-on for every single thing obama does and is much more biased. Fox News does question what Republicans do as well as Democrats, MSNBC only bashes Republicans.
Uhh ... who started the war, again? I don't disagree about its cost or anything, because the amount we're spending is absurd, but I don't remember Obama starting any of the current wars.
@norfair18 Obama's illegal war? Excuse me? I think you forgot who started this in the first place. He was stuck with it, he most certainly didn't start it. that was the previous terrible president.
The Chinese now familiar complaint that the greenback needs to be replaced as the world's de facto reserve currency is very bad news for America. China usually suggests some "supranational" currency as a dollar substitute, to protect it against instability that could arise from any one country's errant economic policies. Hmmm, I wonder what country they could mean. Are we looking at the collapse of America's economy?
I love it. Im moving to China where our money is. It must be gettin pretty nice over there. Just kidding. Because of communism, the majority of the country is still impoverished while the state doles the money out where it sees fit.
