Just settle down employment is up, GDP is up, the stock market is at all time highs and everything is on the mend.

The people in government that know this stuff are taking care of us.

It's just those doom & gloomers again.

It does not matter if the debt is $100 trillion, we're not going to pay it.

So relax, have another beer.

Well we all know this is gonna puke.
But the problem is WHEN?

That’s what I struggle with, and it’s the key to figuring out how to manage the rest of your financial life when you’re my age.

Who cares what the debt is any more? It’s impossible for it to be repaid.

The whole of this country are in debt slavery and that was the whole point of this exercise was to subjugate a free people.

Turkmenistan Devalues Its Currency By 18% – Start Of The Deflationary Contagion

"Turkmenistan, the former Soviet republic, devalued its currency against the US dollar by 18% for the new year. Turkmenistan is energy-rich and this is the latest sign of seriousness of the collapse in oil. This will contribute to now force the dollar higher as commodities decline, the energy producing nations will be compelled to devalue their currencies in an effort to try to make ends-meet. Devaluations will result in an attempt to create inflation to offset the deflation. We are in a major economic collapse on a global scale. Most people do not understand that this is the real threat we face."

We’ve got a thing called a Central Bank, which can print all the money it wants via electronic credits, buy up all the Government or Government agency debt it wants (via its Wall Street banks, of course) and allow the progressive social-engineering scheme to carry on forever!

que?

because they're economies are so strong, productive and innovative? because they are founded on free enterprise and individual initiative? because they've invented nearly anything and everything of value for the last 200 years? because their interest rates must rise, making their currencies stronger vis-a-vis the dollar? because at least one of them is nearly entirely dependent on the US for its prosperity?
