Bump
And Happy New Year Blam.
I correspond with someone in India on a regular basis. He tells me people there expect their food prices to skyrocket in 2013.
Given we had close to 60 million voters for the R candidate, it would probably be easier to mobilize on a peaceful footing with real results. Not sure how the war proposal will inspire those unwilling to take action now with obviously fewer deleterious consequences.
The thing is Red China needs us to keep buying what they make, if they nuke us, they lose a huge market. Still, if they try to take us down, we must be reads to take them with us. We are in uncharted waters but I believe there is no mathematical way to pay off the debt, unless we print a 20 trillion dollar bill or something (that might not work either but when all else looks bad, well?), we might just as well default and reboot.
The only part of the article I disagree with is that it was “peacetime” debt. We’ve been in a cold war with communism for many decades, while they put their pawns in the government, schools and the media; laying their legislative roadside bombs the whole while. Their “H-bomb” was getting Obama elected, and it may very well turn into a “hot” war.
Ping.

Appropriate.
Happy New Year blam.
I'm lookin for a way off this planet and I'm not thinkin about suicide, either because that's a sin IMO!!!
If he's right... true peace is only gonna come from one place... you figure it out... Happy New Years and years and years, everybody, may you live in peace that passeth understanding!!!
Yes. It is the inevitable fate of fascist states to have to invade their neighbors right after they have destroyed their own wealth.
They need their neighbor’s resources to keep the party going.
Canada has vast untapped natural resources.
Mexico has a vast underutilized labor force.
(just sayin’)...
Humans tend to get themselves into this predicament - hence the Biblical “Year of Jubilee” every half century. We’re gonna screw it up on a predictable basis, so just plan to hit reset.

It could end through war, although that would be awful for a lot of people to suffer war over something not their doing.
A better solution would be to depose and remove the problem leaders. Instead of millions hurt and inconvenienced, hurt or killed, there are maybe 1-500 people who could be banished from the country and end the drama and problems. Perhaps more if the media is included.

which is the reason for the panic deal to push it through, and the imposter Roberts to gavel the final vote.
and a “tax” was decreed....
The number one debtor is going to attempt to secure it’s downgraded debt, on the shackled backs of decent U.S. citizens beginning in 2014.
They were actually counting on the “cliff” to coincide with 2014, to begin leveraging the average citizen, but it shows how fast (rate) the debt is accumulating.

It will be the US vs. China. Time to pay the piper. You get into bed with the devil, and now the devil demands his piece, and you will pay dearly.
They might, when the dollar has been devalued by 99% or so.
This could all be avoided so easily. So fast could things go right, if only the productive class quit paying taxes. They hold the purse strings. No government operates without steady revenue; that is the “consent” of the governed.
Quit enabling. If you really think disaster is on the way, war and famine and the rest — surely you can choose the relatively minor risk and inconvenience of ceasing to pay taxes. Legally if you wish, illegally if you dare.
Maybe then you won’t have to stockpile chow and guns — although it sure is exciting, isn’t it?
How will already broke governments finance them without being able to borrow?
You have hit the nail on the head. History repeats itself. The fools of this country have repeated a more evil form of the 1930’s. This one is real hell.
