Someone explain this please for the financially uneducated.
 Quoting: General Thade


It means they Congress blew their wad on the fake scamdemic, and now the US is bankrupt.

Notice how things have been gradually getting more and more expensive the last 6-8 months?

That's called inflation, soon to be hyper-inflation.

The dollar is becoming worthless.

It's what happens to a country when their politicians spend spend spend...ask Venezuela or Zimbabwe
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80385393


Won't be hyperinflation as long as the debt is in the currency we print. Can be inflation but not hyperinflation.

This has happened several times before. There is always a last minute agreement to raise the debt limit. It has stopped being an issue, just look at the stock market.

Re: Treasury Dept to invoke ‘extraordinary measures’ as Congress misses debt-ceiling deadline
The UNITED STATES of AMERICA is a bankrupt Corporation and just like any other Corporation that goes bankrupt it will liquidate it's assets and pay off it's debt with pennies on the dollar. A large portion of US citizens are going to feel the crunch while a new Corporation takes over (Welcome to capitalisms at it's best) But America will restructure and will be booming again before you know it . At that point most of you will be slapping your head wondering why you didn't get in on the greatest opportunity in world history

Re: Treasury Dept to invoke ‘extraordinary measures’ as Congress misses debt-ceiling deadline
most of the people aren't aware that since Dollar is the World's Reserve Currency, that all the Global countries are doing business in this currency

so when the Dollar goes tits up and USA goes bankrupted, that will drag the entire World into the same shit pithole

the Great Depression of 1930s will be child's play compared to what's to come

and since Russia and China are smart countries, are ditching Dollar in record time and buying more precious metals

ultimately, when they do ditch it, you can expect WW3, but started from USA and not the rest of countries, for the above exact said reasons
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62887824


I definitely know someone was trying to strip the population of their gold about what was it, 12 years ago? Suddenly on every corner, you saw cash for gold, cash for gold, cash for gold. I don't see those signs or stores anymore like I used to, but for about a year or 2, they were definitely getting everyone to bring their gold in. Myself and many people I know got on the bandwagon (I had very little, later found out I was entirely ROBBED). Where did all that gold go, exactly? Someone was stockpiling it somewhere...

 Quoting: Dalek Uno 80691743


The debt is created at the same time is the dollars. They are equal. That's how central banking works.

You can create dollars too. When you borrow money from someone, a debt and a matching claim (debt based money) are both created. But it's not "high powered money", just a future obligation.

Likewise the Fed lends to the FedGov. The Fed's job is to create them out of thin air, and then to extinguish them when the loan is paid back. (This is the same if you lend your friend $5 and then he pays you back.) But the Treasury is legally entitled to print dollar bills as needed up to the amount they borrowed. (Your friend can't print dollar bills to lend to you.) And the Fed lends whatever the Treasury decides to borrow.

The Fed also deals in the markets to raise and lower short term interest rates on an ongoing basis. And they also buy and sell bonds to adjust long term interest rates. They have essentially infinite resources to do these things. But they are audited every year, I believe KPMG does it last I checked, and they are required to pay any profits after operating expenses back to the Treasury. You can find these audit reports on the Fed website.

Maybe that's TMI, but that's how it works. Europe and the European Central Bank does it about the same way. All central banks work that way.

There's that old quote used to make the central bankers look bad, that "not one person in a thousand" would understand it. Maybe not that far off, although it's not so difficult.

I remember writing letters to Ron Paul, who was going on about auditing the Fed. I gave him the link to where the audit reports were on the Fed website. (I think Deloitte was doing them then.) Never got an answer back. He kept making a career for some more years based on "audit the Fed!"
