Ok so we're 18 trillion dollars in debt most of which is owed to china. So with the situation in Greece whats going to happen when we can't pay back that debt? I know we are a much bigger country and have a higher GDP but we spend and owe so much money that not even the billions of dollars the government collects in tax is enough , so we end up borrowing more and printing more money which is decreasing the value of the dollar if I'm not wrong. So my question is whats going to happen when we cant borrow anymore money, is the economy going to tank?
ps
What i meant about china is that out of all the countries we owe them the most most money I know that most of our debt is owed to ourselves and how come they say that the coming economic collapse is gonna be 10x worse than the great depression
most of which is owed to china.
Unique definition of most.
If you discount the money we "owe to ourselves" yeah, then he's right. Money we owe to ourselves causes inflation. I'm sure you've seen a graph of the purchasing value of the dollar from 1789 to 1913, then 1913 to 2015.
I'm sure you know what happened in 1913.
Inflation is the best way to hide the cost of the Welfare State and Overseas Wars.
