I hope that was sarcasm. If not you are in deep trouble.

...extra $5T every year...

Where the heck did you come up with that number? It's one-third of the US GDP.

You should have read the breakdown after that.

30% of our national debt is owed to the government. Devalue *that*.

70% is private. Of that, about 15% should be preserved. This is so we don’t shaft our own citizens.

We buy the rest back from foreign nations with renewable agricultural production.

The biggest loser is government, being shrunk and getting a lot less tax revenues, while no longer loaning itself money to misspend.

...extra $5T every year...

Sorry, I thot it was obvious 'cause I'd been working w/ the facts that half the population goes to college and total US personal income's just over $15T.  It's past my bed time but I can 'splain it in the morning if you want.  I really do think that a one-time $1.2T loan to get an extra $5T/year for life is pretty good deal but like, money isn't everything.

I think your assumption that one-third of personal income in this country is earned by a bunch of “-Studies” majors selling over-priced coffee is profoundly unfounded.

Whoa neat!  Let's make up lies about what the other guy's saying.  Here goes:

Listen dopey, your idea of living like a murdering child-molester--  Ugh!  When I post that stuff I feel like a creep --how can you stand it!!  Must come natural I guess so maybe I'd better just leave that to the experienced pros.

What did I say that’s a lie?

Or even an exaggeration?

Are you really trying to tell us that the average recent college grad earns $5 every year for every dollar of student-loan debt they’ve got?
