The Fed just dropped their rate by 50Bps

by that time the government will try all kinds of crazy stuff, like refunding and sending you all of your lifetime of income taxes back, while printing money to infinity to stave off the inflation....it'll work for a little while, until it doesn't.


US debt is considered by global financial markets, as well as foreign governments, to be the safest in the world. Which is why we can manage to pay such low interest rates on it. Which, in turn, is why we can carry a large debt.

 

Any event that disturbs that equilibrium would have to be apocalyptic, like a world war or a pandemic many times deadlier than covid. If the dollar collapses, everything else will have collapsed as well.

 

So feel free to load up your bomb shelter with porn, whiskey, and guns, but I wouldn't duck in there and slam the lid just yet.

 

Oh and by the way, the ultimate safety net to stave off fnancial collapse is our immense store of human capital. The primary product of America is intellectual property. We hold all the trump cards. So, relax.

That first paragraph is a doozy.  Safe debt...sure.   We are paying 1 trillion in interest on debt to banks that created it out of thin air.   I'm guessing that is unsustainable which is why our flackies in Congress have to keep doing the Continuing Resolution trick at the last minute every single time rather than create a balanced budget.

 

I wouldn't bank on the USA's intellectual property, most of which has been stolen or sold to the East.  And human capital?  Look at the sheep produced each year from our declining population, they aren't that impressive with their wacky useless leftist college degrees and the replacement migration coming in has an average IQ somewhere around 80.  That's not a racist statement, it's based on studies on IQ around the world.

People have predicting things like this since I can remember, back to 1974 or so and long before that. I'm still waiting and people are still predicting, mostly people who believe in gold.

By the way, your thoughts on Trump spending $10 billion on a vaccine that doesn't work and he doesn't even know if it's safe while letting the pharmacy companies unleash it on the American people?

 

 See the, "I wonder what the next series of lies the corrupt DemocRats will come up with next", thread for a refresher. Thanks.

It's both a racist and a very, very stoooopid statement, because neither you nor anyone ellse has any way to know what the IQs of migrants are. But if I had to guess, I'd say that they're higher than average, because to figure out and undertake an arduous and risky journey takes brainpower.

 

Our population is increasing, not declining. Unless you think the US Census is a fraudulent product of the Deep State. And more and more people are obtaining college degrees than ever before. You can discount that if you want, but it's real.

 

Our debt is safe becaise we'll never default on it and we can EASILY pay the interest on it. Duhhhh!

To be fair, there was enormous pressure to get SOMETHING out there, and when the vaccine was uktinately rolled out, a grand total of two people got seriously ill from it, one of whom died. Of course, Trump didn't give a rat's ass about all the people dying from covid. He was just pissed because it negatively impacted his reelection chances (and yeah, he probably would have won in 2020 if not for the pandemic).
