Revised Emphasis on the major problem of the times
AIG writes:
What follows is a concise history, an outline actually, of the American civil war. This is not the civil war of the early 1860’s. It is the cvil war of the mid 2020’s
You left out the Chapter that will make this war an actual reality. The Financial Reset, Correction or Crash--call it what you like.
1)August 2024-Trump runs on the platform that claims that Democrats are irresponsible tax and spend delusionists. The markets have by now already corrected their bullish run fueled by the enormous expansion of the money supply. Inflation (or deflation, analysts speak of both) has decimated the economy and the US is realizing that the bill MUST be paid. For the Republicans, it's a no-brainer. Keep spending on the military and let the Bill get paid through inflation.. For the Democrats, it is all about spreading democracy and grassroots values at whatever cost it takes. Both sides want to get elected and neither understands the basic truth that the Federal Reserve placed the economy in checkmate. The Fed can't raise interest rates to fight inflation without a US default. The interest rates are by this time firmly negative and there is talk of the government mandating limits on what people can spend without being taxed through negative rates. The US is in trouble and were it not for the fact that the world at large was in no better shape, our goose would be cooked.
2) November 5, 2024-The Dems win and begin discussions on how to help the people in the midst of this growing financial crisis. The wealthy begin to flee the country so as to keep their wealth. The tax base is hurting and there is no end in sight to the default and bankruptcy of the once-great nation.
The rest of the scenario is much as AIG predicts. The financial crisis only adds fuel to an already hot fire.

Re: Revised Emphasis on the major problem of the times
No. I am not defining some debt as good. ALL Debt is toxic at the levels that it is fast approaching.
You don't actually think there is any way to pay back 27 trillion dollars, do you?
If we hope to help the poor and rebuild our infrastructure, we need to do it with the money that we have. Going into debt for the future...at the levels that the US now has...will prove to be our demise. There is no rational argument for either allowing the debt to remain at 27 trillion (which it won't) or of adding anything more to it. This well could lead to a civil war as our political ideologies are polarized nowadays.
