If we had any credit capacity, I would agree with you. But we and the world are tapped out.
Also, factories were a lot simpler in 1945 and so were the products they produced.
In a disaster scenario, there would be shortages, which fuel inflation. Arguably, a period of hyperinflation would allow us to pay back our debt with lower value dollars and we could balance our budget. But, the human suffering would be awful during such a global reset.
Obamacare is stealing your disposable income faster than inflation or NK.
If our government really wanted to accelerate the closure of Kim3’s latest tirade, Obama would give a speech and declare NK to be a worthless acquisition for the USA and we would never invade it for that reason. That would really confuse the NK’s.
NK does want to be annexed by some nation. The cries from NK make this clear. My thought is there is no confusion. China has her plan. Russia has her plan. NK is a pawn. Iran is a pawn. America too has a plan. zer0 has a plan. Put all the plans into a wet paper bag and see which one breaks the bag first. Everyone stands to lose (worldwide). NK and Iran also hold wild cards. Israel holds a wild card. Three wild cards in a deck of cards make for interesting hands. The factor of chess being in play makes for some interesting Kings, of which there are more than two on this chess board. zer0 thinks he is a Queen. The numerous Kings on the chess board agree. But, the human suffering would be awful during such a global reset. And then there are always the guarantees.
