IMF Economist: Biden’s Policies To Turn U.S. Into Latin American-Style Economy
OANN ^ | July 12,2021 | Staff

Posted on 07/12/2021 6:56:51 PM PDT by Hojczyk

A rising number of economist have warned Joe Biden’s policies could turn the U.S. into a Latin American type of economy. On Monday, Former International Monetary Fund Deputy Director Desmond Lachman said Biden’s inflation, money printing and high government spending posed a problem for the U.S. economy.

Lachman said Biden’s policies could push the U.S. budget deficit up to 15 percent per year. He warned this was not a sustainable level of deficit spending, which may bankrupt the U.S.

Lachman went on to point out such policies lead to devaluation of the national currency and fuel poverty, as seen in many Latin American countries.

“What we’ve already got in the pipeline is going to cause inflation,” he asserted. “Now if you can add infrastructure plan and the families plan, and it’s not going to be properly financed with real taxes that restrain spending, then you’re just going to be adding to the inflationary pressures.” Lachman added the federal reserve would have to raise interest rates and halt money printing to curb inflation. However, he said this wouldn’t help solve budget problems.

“What I think has gone wrong in this country is that there’s no real constituency for anything vaguely approaching a responsible budget policy,” he expressed. “This is how we see that budget deficit keeps rising and the debt keeps rising.”

Lachman went on to warn Biden’s policies will eventually result in bubbles bursting in the housing and stock markets, which could bring on a new recession in the nation.

The communists have exploded the national debt to enslave us and if we have a revolution that money is never going to be paid back nor should it.

All 50 states are not going to follow the Federal government off the cliff. I’m pretty sure. I think.

It is time for the red states to collect federal income tax money....you fill out the federal form and send it to the state....the state sends the Feds money for defense and a few other things.....and takes no money for things like the education dept...environmental agency..etc. and follows no federal regulations..

Women.
This country gets what it deserves I suppose.
I have a hard time not blaming us-men who won't getup off our comfy couches.
The vote is suppose to be our battlefield weapon but....fraud is considered a privilege by dems.
We cannot let this go on.
I really think the media is where the fix starts. Oh, I see the FBI hit squad is here... See you in prison.

The cannot stop it, unfortunately.
As long there is common currency, we all are going down. Federal government is printing the money. There is nothing states can do.
The only thing is to split and use different currency.
It does not look like this is coming yet.

Start using gold and silver as money and ignore federal laws that make it difficult to do do.

Well, that means using different currency, silver or paper, bitcoin or mussel shells. The physical nature of money is irrelevant.
You just made my point.
The problem is that we are using the same currency. When Greeks inflated the Euro, the whole Eurozone suffered.
In 1920, when faced with massive inflation in Germany, Austria and Hungary, the Czechoslovak government closed its borders for few days and officially stamped all the circulating money citizens brought to the offices. The stamped money then became the only valid currency in Czechoslovakia, until new money could be introduced. That saved the country from the perils of its neighbors!
It is still described as one of the greatest economic miracles ever done!
I do not see Texas doing this, yet!?
Do you?

BTW, the only reason the "ruling class" would crap in their own back yard like this is because they are being blackmailed.

China is pulling the strings.

I guess topping walls with broken glass will be the new/final growth industry in what used to be America.

Not yet. If things get bad enough, I think they just might.

You cannot implement a new form of Government (Socialism) until you bankrupt/destroy the form in place.

Does ANYONE, REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT, think that isn’t the plan already? And he has to complete it in two years as the cheating in 2020 WON’T (hopefully) be allowed to happen again. Republicans need to grow a spine quickly or our Republic will be lost.
