Interest Rates, Inflation, And Debt Do Matter

[AdvancingTime]

With our national debt blowing past 23 trillion dollars nothing is as sobering as looking at future budgets. Several years ago our government predicted that by 2019 the national debt would top 12 trillion dollars, not the current 23 trillion. Global debt has surged since 2008, to levels that should frighten any sane investor because debt has always had consequences.

In 1981 Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker is widely credited with ending the stagflation crisis where inflation peaked at 13.5%. Volcker did this by raising the fed fund rate which averaged 11.2% in 1979 to 20% in June of 1981. Rewarding savers and placing a value on the allocation of financial assets is important.

It should be noted that many Americans living today were not even born or too young to appreciate the historical importance and ramifications of the events that took place back then. The impact of higher interest rates had a massive positive impact on corralling the growth of both credit and debt acting as a crucial reset to the economy that lasted for decades.

My question is this - Do we as a nation have the natural and human resources to back up this debt ???? Otherwise how rich of a nation truly are we ?? Can an actual assessment be done to figure it all out, and if so how do we keep from bumping up against our value line ?? Otherwise to stay within our budgets as so not to overwhelm our resources by human consumption, wars, and over population ??

Our future is the fruit of our labor borrowed against by congress on its unlimited fed reserve credit card because they can-
It's generational and as long as the income taxes (user fees) keep being legally stolen then we're good to go- it's one of the reasons we have colonies world wide. It helps the Hegemony of the Federal Reserve Notes be maintained- but as far as resources? If you're talking Natural we have a lot of oil and Natural gas, a little gold, some silver, some coal, etc- do we have enough? That depends on the market rates-if rated by Federal Reserve Note value, well- the federal reserve doesn't have that much gold- the true value of their notes is a few cents- sadly, gold and silver prices are affected by Fed Reserve Note valuation- ask Saudi what it;s worth- or our "alleged" enemies, or China or most foreign countries- they're willing to accept it in trade-
