Maybe an economist can explain it to me, but I don’t understand why massive amounts of debt and credit are a good thing. So people, businesses, and governments have more debt than they could ever conceivably repay, and government wants even more credit? Why?

Isn’t credit supposed to increase productivity? For example, a company needs a new machine. It could wait years to buy the new machine on its own resources, or it could take a loan, buy the machine immediately, boost production, and increase profit. However, this assumes there’s a market for the increased production.

How much of this new credit goes toward improving productivity and the economy, and how much is simply going to service existing (bad) debt? I’ve read we’re already up to over 300% of GDP in existing debt (public and private), but government wants to loosen credit even more???? It boggles the mind.

I have found this website to be a very useful source of information on the economy, gold, and silver.

........ballooning public debt may be the clearest manifestation of the Euro crisis, but its roots go much deeper—to the secular loss of competitiveness that has been associated with Euro adoption in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain (GIIPS). The sequence of events is depressingly similar among the GIIPS........

...... ballooning public debt?......sound familiar?

Let's keep in mind that the border invasion, the push for amnesty, and the intl brouhaha over Arizona's new law are part of a plan to bring the US to the brink of a EU-like crisis that would help precipitate Reconquista----the latino takeover of US territory.

REFERENCE Juan Hernandez, Fort Worth, a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, past member of Vicente Fox’s Mexican govt, and 2008 candidate McCains' Hispanic Outreach Coordinator (McCain said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions). McC sucked up to amnesty-pusher Hernandez (as Americans woke up to 5 million toxic mortgages fraudulently doled out to illegals that poisoned our economy forever).

Hernandez, a US citizen, actually served as a Mexican Government's cabinet member and headed the govt's Bureau of Mexican Living in the US that protects the invaders' interests. Hernandez was also Vicente Fox's "American Reconquista Director." So you know where he's coming from.

Hernandez stated on national television that he is for organizing the North American Union, and the “Amero” to replace the dollar within 10 years or so.

Hernandez believes all illegal Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." Hernandez' book urges illegal alien invaders to become settlers in the USA for Reconquista---the Mexican plan to take back the SW.

Invaders sign itemizes why they are against Arizona's law. (Phoenix Capital protest, May 29, 2010).

Hernandez actually served as a cabinet member in the Mexican Government. Juan Hernandez was born in Dallas and decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last verifiable job was serving in Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as Vicente Fox's "American Reconquista Director." Hernandez then worked for Bush hater George Soros' international foundations---(one such foundation published Hernendez's book that taunts Americans).

===================================================

Michele Malkin article April 29, 2010-----Mexican Dual citizen Juan Hernandez, Fort Worth, has put together Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform ...... described as a “loose coalition” of conservatives started about a year ago to have a private conversation about immigration reform.

Conservatives for CIR is going public. A number of evangelical and business leaders were on a conference call, including former Bush 43 Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was supposed to be on the call, but he had a conflict.
