A massive cup and handle pattern for Silver, dating back nearly a half century is nearly complete. Last chance to buy dirt cheap insurance against currency depreciation is at hand, my friends. Load up while you can.

Most probably. And debt is the reason. Deflation punishes debtors and that the Federal Reserve cannot allow though they were complicit to this mess in the first place. Inflation is their only recourse. Impoverishment for all is dead ahead, only procuring hard assets right now will let any of us survive if not prosper.GuerrillaPack said:
How can we allow the traitors in the federal government (both R and D) to send another $95 BILLION to Ukraine and the state of fake "Israel" every few months, and add a couple TRILLION to the national debt every year, and expect the U.S. dollar to not eventually collapse and hyperinflation to occur?
Do people comprehend the enormity of these numbers. This isn't millions of dollars. It's BILLIONS and TRILLIONS.
You think inflation is bad now....it's going to be orders of magnitude worse over the coming years.
they and you dont either because the aid bills are a rounding error compared to SS and Medicare. It doesn't matter at this point unless you fix those issues.GuerrillaPack said:

I'm in favor of phasing out and abolishing SS and Medicare. Problem solved.hokiewolf said:they and you dont either because the aid bills are a rounding error compared to SS and Medicare. It doesn't matter at this point unless you fix those issues.GuerrillaPack said:

There's the small matter of my decades of earnings that were confiscated to support these programs. A more practical abolition is that of any federal student loan programs which have generated extreme fiscal problems by their very existence. Start there.GuerrillaPack said:I'm in favor of phasing out and abolishing SS and Medicare.

That's why I said phase it out. Pay "back" what was paid in. But stop all the payments that go "in".Oldsouljer said:There's the small matter of my decades of earnings that were confiscated to support these programs.

Lol, pretty clear you only read "about" Krugman, and never actually read his work. He smacks MMT people around almost as much as he smacks around Libertarian derp!
But speaking of intellectual snake oil! Here's a fun fact:
You could completely eliminate Medicaid and the entire domestic budget and half the defense budget and STILL we wouldn't cut our annual deficit to zero. If you're serious about our budget, there are exactly two choices:
- Stop providing health care to everyone's elderly parents, who are otherwise uninsurable.
- Raise taxes a little.
That's it! Two choices!
So please spare us the endless mountain of irrelevant crap like gutting the Dept of Ed or whatever. Either make the headline of your movement that you want to eliminate Medicare or you want to raise taxes... otherwise please shut up about the deficit. Everything else is snake oil.

There is more than one cycle impacting gas prices. Some are short term, some are not. An example of the former is the seasonal formula switchovers thanks to EPA regs. We're going to the more expensive warm weather formulation now. The longest cycle has to do with Voltaire's admonition that in time, the value of (fiat) money proceeds to zero.TheStorm said:
I paid $3.71 / Gallon for Plus again over the weekend at my local station... keep waiting for that "natural" cycle that Civ claims runs the gas prices...

Current tax revenue.
You guys have spent years cheering on one deficit-funded tax cut after the next, gutting our revenue to a point that guaranteed high deficits... because you WANTED to create a "crises" so that you can solve it by cutting popular government programs that you hate. Strangely no mention of adding back revenue as a possible solution to our "crises".
So now we have to pretend that your decades-long deficit scam (a.k.a. "Starving the Beast") is somehow related to lefty snake oil? You guys really are the worst.
You never factor in the service on the debt when you say this. That is going to explode in the next 10 years. So he's right, we're going to have to raise taxes on everyone, including the middle class, and substantially just to get the debt where it's serviceable vs. the GDP. It's never going to get to zero, and I would argue it doesn't need to be. But at its current pace, we've been screwed for several years now.caryking said:SmaptyWolf said:caryking said:Based on what revenue?SmaptyWolf said:Oldsouljer said:Yes, I think it's called Modern Monetary Theory, and it's the latest sophistry in which some people like Dumbbell laureate Paul Krugman peddle for public consumption.

What is the current revenue? Actually, what has been the revenues over the last 10 years…. The revenues are not the problem. Revenues will run a percent of GDP always. Again, you can ***** about revenues and tax cuts; however, I personally pay enough and they are not the problem.
You know it; you just don't want realize it, in words, because of your sick obsession with big government!
Sure I'm including the debt service. It's basically at 1T right now. Nothing in the foreseeable future says that the refinancing is going to be cheaper, so, yes, it's going to explode, especially running 2T in deficits for the short-term.hokiewolf said:You never factor in the service on the debt when you say this.
