Is It Time To DEFAULT On the DEBT And Start Over?

[EdwardBaiamonte]

The repercussions of defaulting are way too disastrous for us to do so.

We are simply one good budget away from fixing all this shit. We just need to elect some politicians with balls.

Someone like Kasich.

But we prefer batshit crazy hucksters instead.

dear, if we default on debt

1) we could not borrow again. Taxes would go way up; maybe triple.

2) Panic selling would cause instant worldwide Depression.

3) untrusted govt could not help since it could not be trusted so world wide Depression would be prolonged.

Only an idiot would suggest it seriously!.

The advantages of a Sovereign issuer of the world's reserve currency......and money growth?

Tom struggles with Intro to Debt 101

The only one "struggling" here is you, fool. Trying to divert the conversation to "sovereign issuer or the world's reserve currency" is simply blithering. Try to focus Slim....you do understand we are buried in debt and about to be unable to function without draconian cuts or a simple default and reset, right? Slim? Tower to Slim, over?

you do understand we are buried in debt and about to be unable to function without draconian cuts or a simple default and reset, right?

Look.......you're a simpleton who stumbled across some clickbait and are convinced that Truth was revealed therein.....

You have evidenced no understanding of fundamentals of debt or the current dynamics.......you see what appears to you as really, really big numbers and soil your crotchless chaps....when you know nothing, you will believe anything.

Even more comically, you insist that the disaster you imagine can be addressed with a "reset"....

Here's an idea.....why don't you spend a bit of time researching what happens to nations that default on their obligations? Take a look at what it means to be the world's reserve currency....

But you won't.......you don't have the intellectual discipline......you're a simple reactionary......a Useful Idiot of every passing Huckster with something to sell you....

 

[IcebergSlim]

In regards to your "under water" point. What do you think the national debt actually is? What makes you think a nation sovereign in its own currency that's no where near full output will default on the "debt" which I refuse to refer to as a debt as we like to see it. What makes you think at 22 trillion everything will collapse? The us government can create dollars from thin air, and inflation is not an issue in regards to the united states right now.
What makes you think we have to take from our other obligations to "pay off" interest? We don't.
Money Growth Does Not Cause Inflation!

Ah, so we can just inflate our way out of it by issuing worthless greenbacks? And where does that end? Then you say "inflation is not an issue right now" as if your "run the money presses" won't destroy our currency like what brought Hitler to power in post-war Germany when Gerry was taking boxes of Marks to the market for bread and milk. Wise up, dope. We can't expect an economic surge to "grow our way out of this" without my suggestions above. Unless and until US manufacturing is returned to American soil and the millions of lost jobs and taxpayers restored, we'll remain a service economy being hijacked by the slants. You might want to stop denying the debt, the percentage of GDP it's eating, and face the facts.

What percentage of GDP is that?

Tell me what you see...

Excellent points!

1. Sometimes alcoholics have to be restrained to be kept sober. So with borrowing.
Taxes are going up anyway if America chooses any Democrat or RINO - which our "experts" deem impossible to resist.

2. So you'd prefer slow economic death when it might be possible to end it all quickly?

3. When has government been trusted to do anything other than lie? Whatever you're smoking, you have an obligation, in this new society, to share.

We're currently at $19.3T under water with no end in sight. Some say the tipping point is $22T which should occur sometime in 2018. What would happen if we just said "screw it" and defaulted? For one thing, anybody holding Treasuries would be SOL...that includes our biggest debtor nation, China. China has been divesting itself of USTs in the last year knowing a default is on the horizon. And it is. At $22T we can no longer field an effective Military. At $22T the interest payment on the debt will swallow most of the funds used by various federal agencies, leaving us like Greece. So why wait until the magic number is reached?

Some say the tipping point is $22T

Who says that? Why?

For one thing, anybody holding Treasuries would be SOL...that includes our biggest debtor nation, China.

China owns maybe $1.2 trillion.

China has been divesting itself of USTs in the last year knowing a default is on the horizon.

How do they know that? Who told them? It wasn't me. Was it you?

At $22T we can no longer field an effective Military.

Why not?

At $22T the interest payment on the debt will swallow most of the funds used by various federal agencies, leaving us like Greece.

I don't believe you.

What a silly post.

Who's got better credit than somebody with ZERO debt and hundreds of ICBMs? The pensions and SS/Medicare can easily be funded with new debt. All foreign debt is gone and we must do it before China can react militarily. The rest we can handle with tax revenue and tariffs that squeeze out foreign manufacturing; we'll make our own products again. And if the Fortune 500 hasn't moved their entire production back to US soil within 6 months, they can have their inventories seized as contraband and be banned from selling in the US for ten years.....they'll RUN back home. Then there's the matter of a Constitutionally mandated balanced budget and never again to run debt past $3T. This is RADICAL...the alternative is we become a third-world, crime-ridden collection of fifedoms and warlords.

Who would be dumb enough to buy this new debt?

Uh.....what do you think yields on debt reflect?

and perhaps you should consider READING your links before blindly pasting them from the google page....

But right now, China is selling because it's in dire need of cash. Recently, it unleashed multiple moves to support its markets and prevent its currency from a freefall, while at the same time trying to stimulate the economy.

Duh....I read my link and maybe you should too....China isn't about to get saddled with US debt with the looming default. As to yields on debt, we have no recourse but take our medicine thanks to situation you sniveling Rats have put us in.

....China isn't about to get saddled with US debt with the looming default. As to yields on debt

What were Greek yields when they were in danger of defaulting? What are US yields now?
Do you notice any difference?
