Deficits forever mean increasing debt forever.
Debt forever means interest forever.
Interest forever means interest on interest.
OK, but we've been paying interest on interest since the 1840's, so explain how it's somehow different today? Since the economy is also growing at the same rate of debt, what is your concern?
So basically your anti-debt argument is with regard to interest; OK, well then why do you push polices that create deficits and debt, causing interest? It's your Bush Tax Cuts that erased the surplus and turned it into four record deficits. It's your War on Terror that was not funded or paid for, that we'll be paying for the next 60-70 years. It's your Medicare Part-D that was unfunded that Obama had to fix with the ACA. So all your shit is the cause of the thing you are complaining about. So how are you not making a masturbatory argument?
Interest on interest means increasing interest levels.
Increasing interest levels means less faith in the US dollar.
Less faith in the US dollar means collateralized loans.
Nonsense. Conservatives have been predicting the decline of the dollar's power since 2009 and they've been wrong. So if your assessment of the decline in the value of our dollar has been wrong the last 8 years, why the fuck would the prediction ever come true?
Basically, your argument is that something might happen. When? You don't know. How? You don't know. Why? You don't know. Only that you think something might happen and thus, are crafting your thinking around that might. But as we're finding out in this thread, that might of yours isn't supported by anything and feels more like you trying to throw as much shit up against the walls as you can, hoping one of your turds will stick.
