“because that debt that cannot be paid will not be paid.”
But it can be inflated away. Halve the value of the dollar and all of a sudden our debt gets back to being manageable. That is what they are doing right now.
It’s not good for Americans, but it does mean there is no chance of a default.
Circa 2013, These technically recoverable resources total 1,194 billion barrels of oil and 2,150 trillion cubic feet of natural gas that is owned by the federal taxpayer. At $100.00 per barrel of oil and $4.00 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas, the oil resources are worth $119.4 trillion and the natural gas resources are worth $8.6 trillion for a grand total of $128 trillion.
This would tackle the extinguishment of the debt AND unleash an energy wave of prosperity.
So it IS a problem BUT it's not TEOTWAWKI. They want you to think that way, though.
