Duh. You missed my point entirely. We survived all those recessions and we ended up fine before 1913, not in debt to the tune of more than our GDP. Read my post again.
And what exactly did I miss? Your claim that the country is bankrupt when it’s not? Did the Treasury miss an interest payment for the first time since 1790? I must have missed it.
Your intimation that depressions only became a problem with the creation of the Fed? I suggest you look up “Long Depression”.
The non-sequitur that we’ve survived 137 years?
I suggest you omit the ‘duh’ when you’re having trouble making a point that is something beyond emoting, the duh just highlights your struggle.
