This is a joke right cocaine mitch??

[motor_racer]

He knows they’ll just inflate it away.

[aynrandfreak]

Inflation is the slow-boil approach to default. He really just means that we have a printing press.

[Sicon]

Well then, by all means, keep running up the debt, clown.

[rktman]

😂😂😂😂👍. Okay turtle.

Dark humor

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Nobody paid their debts in the 1920s and the results were a great depression and great war. I like the study of history because it's fun watching people make the same mistakes over and over again. We learn nothing.

[af_vet_1981]

Not a joke; certainly more informed and influential than the one calling him immature names.

Hey Mitch!

How do you force others to continue to buy U.S. Bonds which finance our debt?

[Mr. K]

“We’ll just magically create more money- and call it ‘quantitative easing’”

[ConservativeInPA]

Notice that this assclown never mentions cutting spending. By cutting spending, I mean actually spending less this year than last year, not the decrease in the increasing rate of spending crap.

Here is the joke:

No currency of any nation has ever retained its value forever.

Very few have retained their value for more than five hundred years.

It is called human history.

The belief that the United States is somehow immune to those forces....

is indeed a joke.

The Empire will end.

The only question is when.

[faithhopecharity]

So instead the duplicitous GOP-e just stands by while the D-commies get rid of their massive debt by printing more and more intrinsically- worthless currency to “repay” it with.
Thus, stealing the purchasing power of American citizens’ income and savings.

A crookeder bunch of lying thieves could not be found anywhere. Certainly none that hurt more people

[silverleaf]

We will never default on our debt.

We will just continue running up more debt to cover the obligations and interest on our debt

Sounds like a plan

[JonPreston]

I’m told by CONservatives, he’s good with judges!

[Mouton]

They should force a target on them. Say for every 100 bill removed from the current budget we can approve an increase of 1T. Let China Mitch work out the details with the bunch he pushed this budget through.

[central_va]

Fake. The US Treasury takes in roughly $11B/day. Every day. Day in. Day out.

The US "debt" paymant is roughly $1B/day.

So THERE IS PLENTY OF MOOLAH TO PAY THAT.

Here’s a thought....reduce your expenses and prioritize your cash flow. Damn, what was I thinking? That government could be fiscally responsible? How silly of me.
