  • USA can only default if it wanted to. Our debt is issued in $ & the feds print $, if we truly wanted to our government could pay off all of its debt to every country by tomorrow but that would completely destroy our economy for a few decades, the $ would be $hit so they wont do that.

  • "to buy....securities"

  • I feel so sorry for the decent, hard-working folk in the US. You have been totally ripped off by the wealthy and powerful in your country. You must feel both ashamed and very afraid.

  • Of all The Greats who ever passed through the Whitehouse, we brits cannot believe USA not sorted your back garden.

    Obama ideas reminds us of the recent 13 year storm which has ripped UK society apart, our towns and cities are like horror shows of feckless, irresponsible people who openly have children for extra government money.

    PROFLIGATE spending has truly gruesome consequences.

    David Cameron is a decent man, that's britain's problem.

  • Lied into a war, jobs sent overseas, tax breaks for the rich, increase taxes for the poor, also increase of the amount of money taken from wages for social security to make up the difference due to tax breaks for the rich and and oh yes, force everyone to have to pay these murderous so-called health insurance companies if we work. Now threaten grandma and grandpa's tiny livelihood. The poor do without while the rich pay off half million for jewelry. These people need to be fired at vote time.

  • Keep on re-electing them America ... you deserve the screwing your getting!

  • That's what happens when the people running your country are nothing but power hungry idiotic failures.

  • i'm fucked you're fucked they're fucked we're fucked he's fucked and she's fucked! AHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • w italy

  • Ourselves all in debts at whom are not present Mastercard???

  • Yeah Guys --- You got to take your politicians by their 'WORD' hahahahahahahahhaah what a F^uking joke!

  • we are a big nation. we dont have to borrow from anyone. we can produce what we need right here. shit, we borrow from the ones we give our money too? what a joke.

  • The government has been in default before. Every time it makes a promise to provide for something & does not - it is in default. The only time more debt is justifiable is if it is without interest.

  • Blame republicans if you like it is Obama who is pursuing wars all over the world and creating all the debt. The US will certainly default on obligations before the end of the year. And when that happens it will lose the ridiculous AAA credit rating and other countries will demand more interest and guarantees on loans. Meltdown is inevitable. Then the Obamanure will really hit the fan.

  • China is owning the US. hahahaha

  • What the reporter fails to mention is that presently most us bonds floated by the treasury are bought by the fed! The US gov is currently indirectly lending money to itself...

  • Stop all Israel funding and stop the military complex funding then let the oil barons pay for the soldiers its they tha benefit from wars as does the arms dealers the people dont so shouldnt be paying for the services then we would see the clock stop.

  • Game's over America... can't party all the time... :-\ Time to pay back...

  • @TheEsotericDesi you don't even know what your talking about :P

  • The best way for the US to tackle its 14-trillion-dollar debt is… a) to end the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and reduce military spending, which is the biggest part of the US budget. b) to default on its debt. c) to end tax cuts for the rich. d) to get loans from foreign banks or governments

    PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR HONEST OPINION.

  • @P4KiiST4N

    USA can print its own money they dont need to borrow from private cartels like the Rohschilds and yes end military spending and all aid to terrorist dictators like Israel thing is Israel actualy run america and UK and the UN so the people need to wake up and end corrupt governments.

  • @edtheball69 USA only prints money when they take out a loan from a bank... the only time money is printed is when a loan is taken out from a bank.....

  • @P4KiiST4N Don't worry China will solve all your problems eventually lol.

  • @PeterTattersall46 Yes cause we are allies how many allies have you got. A country can't help a country?

  • @P4KiiST4N Don't really understand what you are saying. 

  • BRING IT ON.

    IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO ULTIMATELY EFFECT RADICAL CHANGE IN THE US,

  • What is this dept per person thing?? I never agreed to the dept so like hell I'm paying it.

  • @Thecoldwaterfall A more realistic figure of debt would include the bad loans in the form of credit default swaps, amounting to over $64 TRILLION dollars, not hte $13 Trillion that was mentioned in the report, and could be added to that, AND there is still more debt in the Trillions that no one like to mention.

  • @mrzack888 theres a wide variety of bonds and repayment structure. Generally interest on a bond is paid every 6 months and the nominal amount is paid when the bond matures (5, 10, 20 years..)

  • this is waht i dont get, are those treasury bills come due? is that why? otherwise, the US don't have to pay them off until they come due.

  • america have become the enemy it fought for its independence, the british east indian company.

  • With corporations who are making record profits its obvious the solution is to Jack taxes on the rich. But this will never happen as they run government and they will be immune to any economic collapse.

  • "could send the US back into recession"

    Stop bullshitting the public. As if we can't see we're DEEPLY in a recession already. Hell, even continuing to call it a recession alone is a serious case of cognitive dissonance. We're in a fucking depression. Stop pretending we're past anything you fucking shmucks. So tired of hearing blatant ass lies like that from our fucking media as if they're in an entirely different country altogether.

  • insanity....just fukn default! Bring on the end to this shit & we'll create anew. It'll eventually break down & make way for something else. Such is life...

  • Sounds like there is a contradiction if "everyone" is meant to be "domestic investor" or a justification for the concentration of wealth when"everyone" is not meant to be "domestic investor

    1:39 domestic investors might feel concern about what is happening in DC and start to charge a premium to buy securities, in other words lenders would demand higher interest rates for their money, 1:59 that prospect, the higher cost of borrowing for everyone spiraling into America sinking back into recession

  • Total economic collapse.

  • No country has EVER gone willingly to war without raising taxes to pay for it. Since 9/11, the US has willingly gone into 2 major wars (and some minor ones) and DECREASED taxes (The Bush tax cuts for the wealthy). Simple high school arithmetic!

  • lol Obongo is broke, Amurica is going Zimbabwe.

  • lol so borrow money to pay back the people you borrowed more money off?

  • pathetic defaulting scum

  • Buy Gold. The Printing press is going to be over time again!

  • @TheSilverGuild I suggest you watch "The Colony" and then continue telling people to buy gold. If you had the slightest clue, you would be suggesting people purchase solar panels, water purification systems, food dehydration systems and other items that can actually help them in the long term. Instead, you've bought into this nonsensical notion that if the dollar crashes, somehow, someway, automatically people are still going to want a precious metal just because "it looks neat".

  • @YourBrainOnReligion I'm planning on building a green house as well.

  • @TheSilverGuild Buy gold LOL

    The price I sell 1 fresh carrot.. 1 gold dollar want a whole live chicken?... got a wheelborrow for the gold it'll cost?

    The buy silver/gold conmen are out in force latley lol

  • But I don’t need your chicken because I have chickens and Vegetables! Oh but wait if you have metal then you have a medium of exchange and can buy anything for 1 gram of gold! Unfortunately you will only be able to barter goods while the people with Gold/Silver can still buy the exact amount of loafs of bread as they could 1000 years ago. You will be left in the dust especially when you can’t trade for ammo! Time will tell!

  • @TheSilverGuild I'll need ammo? LOL

    Your selling a con that shiny metals will save people lol But I guess you conning people that its a good thing dont bother ya much huh?

  • @Thecoldwaterfall Personal morality is more inportant than Finacial gain. Perhaps you should take your own advice and stop promoting a currency collaspe because thats not going to happen.

    If gold is a con then I guess man has been coning himself for 5000 years.

    You obviously dont know anything about hedeging from inflation and protecting your purchasing power.

    Obviously you dont own any gold and your perfectly happy with your fiat debt papper slave currency!

  • @Thecoldwaterfall So your telling me that everyone who owns gold has been cond and that anyone of those people who sell there gold is a con artist?

    You come up with the most inane Propagandist comments. Your ethier just plain stupid or a willfull idiot.

    Im guessing both!

  • al la la la la la la la la la la. LOL so has WW3 started yet? And if so wow people are blind!

  • @truthersunited333

    You think the US got enough money for WW3? lol

    Obama is trying to talk about peace with Afghanistan , the nigga is broke :D

    but then again he deserves it , he shouldnt have got in Afghanistan on the first place.

  • @Gabrielregalado2

    if da niggah is broke then da niggah going to be the last president of usa

  • @KhmerD0g

    only one year left till the next elections soo....nope!

    I would love to have Sarah Palin as a president ,

    if you are gonna fuck up then do it with comedy.

  • @Gabrielregalado2 why would you love Sarah Palin as a president ? Because she has charisma and because she would be the first woman as president ?

  • @Sallytheg4y She is the spawn of shaytaan to! It doesn't matter. Youtube politicians and celebrities occult rituals! The el cornuto isn't a sign for I love you. It isn't a sign for rock on! It isn't a sign for the texas longhorns! It is an ancient occult archetype!

  • @Gabrielregalado2

    ahh, if we are to go we would go out with the biggest bang ever. oh, it will happen. we will drag the rest of the world with us since we have the world reserve currency.

  • @Gabrielregalado2 Why would you want Palin?

  • @GTR66960 Because she's a stupid funny bastard and you deserve her lol. Best wishes from the UK.

  • @PeterTattersall46 No, most of us actually want to send her to Mars.

  • @GTR66960 Not far enough lol.

  • @PeterTattersall46 hahaha

  • @Gabrielregalado2 maybe paris hilton will be next president or britney spears

  • @KhmerD0g I wouldn't blame it on Obama i'd blame it on the oober rich who tell what to do. Government in america isn't real its just an extended public relations group for the banks.

  • @propjam2

    Right on. Voting republican or democrat is the same. Democracy is a shame. It just make ordinary citizens feel they have a voice in political process. Look at greece. The people protested about bailouts for the banks and austerity measure for the rest of Greeks and yet the bill passed.

  • @Gabrielregalado2 they always have enough money for war.. .

  • @melonberryable of course! the rich need to get richer.

  • @Gabrielregalado2 IIRC, the conflict in Afghanistan was started by Obama's predecessor. Who also started the conflict in Iraq. Oops.

    As for debt, the extension will probably be granted. After all, European governments are throwing money at Greece in order to stop it defaulting, Ireland's getting a huge cash injection to stop it getting into trouble, and it's likely Spain and Portugal will as well. So I can't imagine US politicians allowing their country to default.

  • @truthersunited333 well you could state that we have been in WW3 for about 10 years with 6 different wars fronts and over 1 million deaths since 2001, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tunisia, LIBYA and the so called "war on terror". US has also sent war ships to the west coast of Syria, just waiting to attack. that means Russia wont be happy cos they have got a navel base there. and china says if you attack Pakistani it will be like an attack on china, and they WILL retaliate. Iran is pissed too

  • @melonberryable Man All I can say is praise Jesus. Funny thing is though how this can escalate too a very high level a war so very quickly. I just hope people wake up before the great awakening so we do not go in the wrong direction.

  • @truthersunited333 they will most likely make another false flag, like 9/11 and blame it on someone else. so they can

    1. start a new war/ distract us from the current economic disaster.

    2. to show the "still sleeping" Americans that the so called war on terror is still going on.ect

    3. to increase the TSA to maximum potential, ie; house to house random searches, more molesting of innocent citizens, and TSA in malls, town centres, train stations, and public event, they will be there to"protect us"

  • 911 INSIDE JOB (BUILDING NUMBER 7 DOES NOT TELL LIES?)

  • Fake Wars Costing Real Money and Real Lives

  • "must include an end to tax breaks for the wealth"

    well DUUUH

  • Lets Default, maybe we'll see the change obama was talking about
