US debt crosses $40 trillion

@wildgrass said
Yeah you always change the subject once you realize you're wrong.

Reagan started it, and all Republican presidents since then have followed his lead. Yes, Biden passed one temporary COVID relief bill that raised the debt level but that is peanuts compared to the rest of it. Massive tax cuts that only benefit the wealthy, contribute to income inequality, and add trillions ...[text shortened]... not a both parties issue, it is always Republicans. You can't admit that so you pivot to socialism.

Not admitting and not commenting are 2 different things. I dont care about the history, given that there is plenty to deal with on Sept 3. That is what I am interested in. Not comparing Trump to Bush or to Obama, which you seem to be doing. Nobody cares. Your stuff is boring. One of you sent me a youtube! that some unkown source posted and wanted me to watch it. At the moment, the evening news came on about what was going on wth Trump's latest decisions ,,,,I had to pick one.
An easy pick. Now you get back to google and pull up some really good history! If I do history, it is about how the USA kicked ass in WWII. not what the skip-hopping faerie Obama was doing.

I am definitley interested in socialism. I am worried that my kkids will have to go to free college. Is free college better than the one that I am paying for right now? Will my kids really need to know anything if they are sheep of the government? They would have no way to advance in life, so who cares? You sure don't.
I will continue to tell them the secrets of success anyway, in case we remain free.

Yeah I tried to keep it there but then you want to bring up Biden, so...

$2 trillion. That's the deficit and it's increasing. You and your Republican government have no solutions.

Any solution they have will be better than your solution, which used to take money from people and give it to other people. That is the true basic answer that all of you parasites have. Our answers are more about not spending so much money. I will save your posts about all this, so when you all take over, we will see how much money you people spend. We can have a side bet of $1000 that he/she/it will spend more than the Republicans.
You know that I am right, so why don't you just give up this conversation? I can prove it right now by showing you that list that I posted on another thread of all the free stuff since you know that it is not free, how will it be paid for and how much will it cost? ooooohh ooooohh ooooohh

Let me help you here. A college page, the professors and taxes and everything in between mainly from money from other sources like tuition. And foundations and philanthropy. This will all drop off, obviously, and there would be no more philanthropy given the treatment of the government against foundations with a lot of money. Do you follow? So if there is no money of the college, and yet they are giving free education and paying their professors, and all of the other services provided there with, the money would have to come from, you guessed it, the government so that means the government will have new spending that does not exist right now.

What is their solution? It seems like they're going with "avoid answering questions until we die"

Our answers are more about not spending so much money.

This is just plain obviously wrong. Republicans have been in charge of everything in government for a while now, costs of government are rising faster now than ever.

You said your answer to the debt problem is to not spend as much, but you are in charge now and you are spending more. Do you follow?

gotta spend money to make money. Got to kill Iran so our grandchildren will make money, do you follow? Killing Iran is an investment which we will recoup a thousand fold..
I have other examples. And, BTW, all presidents keep on truckin' withspending. It is all pat of the game. And you know Iran will be over, you know gas prices will come down. Man up, chicken little.
Swear to me that when Aoc and SAyed are president that spending will stop. Next post. Tell me that.

Fine. Spend the money if it needs to be spent. That's not the point. The point is pay for it. You're spending money and bankrupting the entire government in the process.

I agree with you. All presidents keep on truckin with the spending. But only Democratic presidents try to pay for it.

Lie.

Seriously, this debt is monstrous. There's about $144 trillion dollars if you combine all the money in the world. America's debt is 40 trillion.

That's frightening.

It's all printed. Means nothing...

With inflation in 20 years 40 trillion will only buy you a coffee anyway.

@wildgrass said
The entire GDP of the USA is "only" $32 trillion and it's growing at a much slower pace than the debt number.

That is how you know they are planning WW3. That is the only way this fiscal insanity can make any sense. It seems insane to destroy your own currency, but if you rule the world you can create another and impose it on the entire world.

Being broke does not matter if you dominate the world.

There you go again. You know Eisenhower did more to pay down the debt, yet you keep misleading people on here. He taxed the rich more too and he was a republican. Listen to Robert Reich point that out, and notice he was in the Clinton administration so he is not a partisan hack like you.

YouTube

Notice how at the end Reich was cut off when he started to talk about how the wealthy are lending the government money and we all have to pay them the interest on it. The wealthy found a way to put us all into economic slavery. The corporate news media ignores the debt because that is how they are putting us into economic slavery. Now we can barely pay the interest that they are collecting.

All the experts agree. The cost of borrowing will go up (interest rates).
Inflation will increase to pay the interest on the debt because they have to create money from nothing. Then they will raise interest rates to fight the inflation they created. Again the cost of borrowing goes up. The only alternative is taxing you more overtly instead of covertly with inflation.

Every solution results in hardship. Economic slavery. Now you know why overt racial slavery was abolished. They found a better way to enslave all races covertly. Welcome to the new world order. Our children are enslaved too and there is no underground railroad to escape. The whole of society is their prison. No need for shackles. That is old outdated slavery. Economic slavery is much more efficient.

Debt=Economic slavery
Don't expect your slave masters to remind you of this until we are so deep in debt it is impossible to get out. Who do you think owns the corporate news media? Poor people?

Greenspan said it. There is 0% chance of default because they pay for it with inflation. We will pay the interest one way or another. In any case we get screwed.

This is just another scam. Poor people pay the interest to wealthy people. It is beyond class warfare. It is full blown economic slavery. And most poor people are too ignorant to know it is happening to them.

"page,"

Was this word supposed to be "pays"?

Holy crap man, try to follow the basic rules to communicate effectively. USE YOUR BACKSPACE KEY. Errors like this just show your level of respect for what you are saying and whom you are speaking to, which, in your case, is ZERO.

Why should we give a damn what you are saying if you can't have a basic level of respect for the people who have to read your word salads?

@AverageJoe1 said
Suzianne, do you get this post, can you transalate, given your penchant for word salad nonsequiturs..... Is he speaking about payiing college tutions, I do not get it. Or paying one but not the other? Which one?
Sue?

His "pay for them" is referring to your "These things cost money".

This would be worlds better than just handing over the money you could be using to pay for them to the ultra-rich.

If you can't even do this, then don't waste your time complaining how much money you have to rip off from Americans.




And stop begging me to come hold your hand and explain to you that which should be more than obvious. You DO have a brain, right? Right?
