Insolvent means not being able to cover your liabilities.

That is not nearly the case.

And “Civil War?” That seems to be the narrative this morning.

When you start seeing the same phrasing from multiple sources with emotional language…that is the sign of a controlled information campaign.

Once you see it…it cannot be unseen.

It’s not me defining a “low intensity conflict/grey war” phase, it’s orgs like the CIA and State Department. Read past the headline.

The definition is technical and available to all, but you like to just skim headlines and blurt out opinions.

And “controlled information.” lol. Yeah, I’m sitting here with my two dogs. They have a great deal of control over me.

“Insolvent means not being able to cover your liabilities.

“That is not nearly the case.”

The federal debt is ~$110,000/American resident.

The federal debt is ~$240,000/American worker.

The federal debt is ~$300,000/American citizen worker.

The federal debt is ~$400,000/American citizen full-time worker.

The ability to sell debt to foreigners will end soon.
