The ol' tried and true method. It works everytime it's tried......Remember WIN! ????.....I even remember the WIN jingle:
We're gonna whip inflation now/ We'll all eat crow instead of cow!/We're going to hold our breath/ We'll even starve to death/ If we can whip inflation now!

We have over a trillion barrels of oil locked up in shale rock on government land. What is that worth. At today's prices - 70 trillion dollars. Hell, that even leaves a little money left for reparations...

You know this really has become the Rights version of "Global Warming" Hysteria based on no factual bases that is simply screamed over and over and over again in the hopes people will belive it.
Tell us oh fiscal "sages", how has Great Britian managed a National Debt for about 400 years now?

At today's prices - 70 trillion dollars.The U.S. government would have to capture all that oil value without any costs. I.e., it would have to do the production and distribution, etc.
The Federal Government is generally not known for such total efficiency as its forte'.

What kind of financial "analysis" excludes some existing and potential assets while including all existing and potential liabilities?
Hmmmm....
A dishonest, AGENDA-DRIVEN "analysis", perhaps?
And so the "bankruptcy" of the US is "proved".
Imagine that....

The government will just legislate the oil companies into extracting the oil at the government's price. There. All solved. heehee

"As for the Government already maybe trying to inflate its way out of this mess of its own creation..."
- I'm sure that the chart is absolutely crucial to this debate, but since the vertical axis is not labeled and your explanation is non existent, I haven't a clue what it's all supposed to mean.
