      The Debt Ceiling is the next Leap Of Faith which only the USA, the Chosen ONE, can preach to the global community in Good Faith. Denying the existence of an Open-Ended Debt Ceiling will be considered a cardinal sin of the US imposed global order.

      Remember every time you or someone you know was angry at billionaire entrepreneurs for some of their billions? Yeah, the government printed 20000 billion in the meantime. You were bamboozled by the media to be distracted from the fact the government was printing literally infinite money behind your back.

      The next financial crisis won’t necessarily bring America to her knees.
      The **response** to the next crisis may.
      When met with the next fiscal crisis, politicians will face a figurative fork in the road. They can turn back to sound fiscal policy and free market principles, or charge headfirst into socialist like rule. My guess is they’ll do the latter.
      - universal basic income
      - direct price controls of goods and services
      - nationalizing banks
      - direct government control over the federal reserve
      - taxing unrealized gains
      - wealth caps
      The list goes on.

      The very concept of a debt ceiling is pretty silly, at least in modern context. Back in the days of gold standard it was a different matter, but these days you don't so much pay back debt, but inflate it to non-existence. Debt, or printing money - same thing really, is just a different type of tax now, one you can raise without seeming to raise taxes. Of course it's only ever going to go up as an absolute figure, countries will no more pay back debts than they pay back taxes collected.

You could pay off your bank debt and now you're in debt to your boss. Now let's say your boss needs a credit from the bank and gets 80 usd from the bank to pay you those 80 usd. The money just changed hands and you'll still be in debt. But this time, to your boss until you're able to work those 80 usd. That's basically what's happening.

    • @Metalshark100
      @Metalshark100 3 роки тому

      @Shinshocks there is something wrong with inflation, prices rise but not all jobs rise with the minimum wage either. more bills get put into the economy but the people who most benefit from that are the rich. the poor people and working class will get a lower percentage of the bills printed or none at all. take for e.g. here in the uk. inflation has made the minimum go up for years, yet some jobs are still offering the exact same pay since 5 years ago, when every other role has raised their annual salary. those are the people who get hit the hardest. this is what will create homelessness or lack of labour. it's a poorly thought out distribution system, the only thing its good for it getting the government out of paying any debts owed and lining the pockets of the 1%. you think people will stay in those bad paying jobs? either they stay and suffer or leave and create lack of labour. businesses die and this creates less jobs. its a cycle dude.

      Our Time that we are given to exist on the face of the Earth, is something that is valuable and we should not waste that resource......
      The dubious nature of Coins and the Capitalist notion that they are something valuable, seems to reveal itself to be simply an illusion?
      The use of the Capitalist system to measure our time seems to face some distinct challenge as the number of Humans who have more Time than Money increases.
      If we simply are forced to fight each other to preserve a social system that measures our allotted time, we seem to have been fooled by those with little time and a lot of money?

    Normally, the US gets an inflation of 2-3% and grows 2-3% every year in GDP. This actually helps down melt down the significance of debt (money is worth less so old debts are easier to pay).

    So, let's deal with the real facts. I happen to be a numbers person. I live in the top 3 percentile of earners in the US. I did it the hard way hardwork, and honesty, I know that is rare today.
    So let's deal firsthand and foremost, the $31.5 trillion in debt we are now in as a nation. This alone has crushed us, let's call it came over. That debt ratio is unsustainable ànd there is no means to pay that down by as little as 1% with our current Fed Tax revenues and over spending! Sorry did I say over spending disclosing the hugh elephant in the room or lets say Washington DC! The Fed Governments answer is always we must raise the debt ceiling! Because according to a Republican leader America always pays it bills! Oh really how about proving that on a Balance Sheet Sir! You may fool 90% of Americans, but not this one my friend! Are you crazy? So a simple example friends: Lets say someone who is making Gross Salary (Not Net) of $40k a year. Than somehow was allowed be creditors to put $10 million on credit cards, and credit lines following as I know that should alone sound crazy to all Americans. So the creditors than decide the debt solution is to raise their credit line but ignore the income earnings remain the same. So how are they going to have the ability to pay down the debt! Mean while compounding interest (is a class for another day) is eating away faster than the speed of light! Hoping this is starting shed some light.
    I hate to say it, but this is why America is now at the end of its super power reign! Just printing money and over spending is as disaster! Our dollar is only paper and backed by nothing by our past economic history, but the politicians stay away from this fact. They just keep spewing out lies and deception. Their power and control is their motivation!
    Let's be factual and your welcome to do your our research. Every empire previous to America has fallen. Just look around they are no where to be find niw are they? They all collapsed for all the same reasons.
    * To much War
    * Out of control spending
    * Under valued / backed currency
    * Unable to continue to sustain themselves
    Sorry, but true! I could only hope all Americans understood this unfortunate circumstance instead of being fed the lies the media and government wants them to hear and believe.
    So, I ask if you think I am wrong where exactly is America's next big economic boom? If you think its electric cars for example you have drank their kool-aid. That industry will have the same outcome as the wooden clothespin industry. Our last and final economic boom was following WW2.
    I love America, but I am so sad to see the deception that so few have been able to pull over the eyes of so many!
    I've been privileged to serve 8 yrs in the USMC and defended our freedoms.
    I've also been privileged to build a very successful American based business and have achieved what I use to believe was real and attainable, it was called the "AMERICAN DREAM".
    For myself I pay an exorbitant amount of Corporate & Personal, Federal and State Taxes!!!!! All to be misused and abused!
    Sorry, but I just have to live in reality people!
    It's sad that this is what I see my 7 children and 5 grandchildren inheriting.
    Thank God my wife and I can leave them the wealth we have obtained. Its just sad the government with take what they do not deserve!!!!!
    PS: I myself came from nothing and was homeless in this country as a teen in 1974! Leaving in the streets and having to steal food to eat. Now what I give away is amazing and glad to do so. I achieved all I have through working endlessly and still do!

      @@justincosby2258 seriously? No: bread does not just magically become $400 that sounds so dumb. Paying off the national credit card does not release additional money into the economy. We just watched a 12 minute video explaining that the coin is a credit for debt ALREADY locked into policy spending. This is just a discussion about whether we should let spiteful politicians stiff our credit bill or address our existing obligations in cash. You’re confusing people by yelling about bread.

    It is because of this stupid era of democracy. :D :D :D
    It is simple, biggest parts of the government budget are:
    Military: Do you want to cut off our army?
    Medicare and Medicaid: Do you want to stop paying healthcare for children and senior citizens?
    Pensions: Should the US stop paying pensions?
    Infrastructure: Even the road in front of your house is subsidised, should we stop repairing it?
    All other expenses are marginal in terms of a budget.
    These are the ONLY things you can really make significant cuts in the budget, so what do you choose?
    For instance in Europe, there is Switzerland with low taxes and low government expenditures and Denmark with high taxes and high government expenditures, both countries do not have any significant debt. I am not saying which way is better but you have to choose one, you can not have Swiss taxation with Denmark expenditures.
    You pay more taxes and get more from the government or pay fewer taxes and get less from your government. It is so simple, but now everyone wants the government to pay for everything but does not want to pay taxes. So we are in debt.

    I have a solution, what if government spending was put under control? I know it's probably not popular but the US can't be taking this much debt at an exponential rate like it is right now. Economic growth is not fast enough to keep the debt in check and inflation is gonna get pretty bad because over time financial institutions are gonna switch from the US dollar to something they think is safer and at that point the US won't be able to print this much money without inflation skyrocketing.
