NO! WE DON’T HAVE TOO MUCH FEDERAL DEBT !


Now (January, 2017), foreigners own about half of our $14.3 trillion publicly-owned US debt. With their trade surplus, foreign exporters accumulate US dollars and buy US debt for trade collateral. Their US bonds provide some protection against inflation and eliminate currency exchange fluctuation and costs. Foreigners will hold our debt until they find a safer refuge; none is now in sight. They will want to keep earning and holding our dollars unless the US goods that our dollars would buy are not competitive. It’s the job of Congress to keep us competitive by giving us the world’s best infrastructure.

Our debt/GDP ratio is now about 70%. It was over 120% during World War II, which was followed by 35 years of prosperity. Prosperous Japan’s ratio is now over 200%. We have no federal debt crisis!

Federal budget deficits are necessary for prosperity. Just as an individual judges her financial success by her after-tax earnings, so should the public relish the after-tax savings and cheap foreign goods provided by Congress’ spending deficits, which can only exit circulation into savings accounts or imported goods.

Deficit spending should not be large enough to cause harmful inflation but the budget deficit should exceed our trade deficit. Otherwise, we are exporting our savings to import foreign goods. Instead of cutting spending, we should be reducing our trade deficit by spending as much as possible on infrastructure that would lower industry’s costs, raise its exports, and reduce our trade deficit.

Will our debt always find buyers? Designated “primary” dealers are required to bid without collusion and the Fed can always buy their debt without limit, collect the interest, and return 94% of its annual profit to the Treasury, as law requires. And Congress has already and can again seize the Fed’s reserve.

The entire debt, as collateral, could be converted by bankers into dollars that would be added to a similar amount already in the money supply (M2). So, re-phrasing our question: would $29 trillion be too many dollars chasing too few goods and services, thereby causing inflation? If the few individuals owning most of those dollars increased their buying, what would rise in price, other than financial assets? Not food or other essentials! It is difficult now to see inflation being caused by federal debt.

But what about the future? Every year sees a large and growing federal budget deficit with an associated interest burden. Is that sustainable? The answer, according to the math at http://www.levyinstitute.org/publications/?docid=1379, is that growing deficits are sustainable provided that the rate of GDP growth exceeds the debt interest rate. That implies that our economy must always be competitive, which implies that our infrastructure must be among the best. Our future will not be secure unless we invest in it. Yes, Congress can fund any unfunded liability!

If v**ers really want to reduce the US debt held by the public, their Congress can easily provide steeply progressive estate tax brackets that will, over time, destroy much of the domestically-held debt. We certainly do not need a hereditary aristocracy with rich kids growing up with enough money to buy a Congressional v**e to cut spending on education while our kids are drowning in school debt.

So, how should Congress spend and tax? To maximize infrastructure, Congress should spend almost enough to cause inflation and should tax little enough to almost cause inflation. Ideally, always on the verge of inflation, everybody and every resource would be employed and every material would be in adequate supply or rationed to suit our national priorities, as if we were at war.

When small government nuts cut spending to cut taxes, they also reduce needed infrastructure. The spending scolds are depressing our economy, c***ting our grandchildren out of infrastructure, and weakening our defense, which depends on bridges and dams as well as on arms.

Shun the deficit hawks!

[quote=permafrost]As the right wing has spent 8 years complaining about the natl dept and now it seems a forgotten topic, I felt a small reminder of the consequences of your v**e was in order..


Francis Dickinson
Francis Dickinson, Green Party activist (and, like many, former Lib-Dem)

To quote that well known left winger Vice President Dick Cheney talking about a President from the far left when his White House was busy spending money like a sailor on shore leave after Clinton had balanced the budget “You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term e******ns, this is our due.” Meanwhile if we look at the 2016 e******n we find which candidate it was that wanted to ignore the debt - and as ever it wasn’t the Democrat.


In short the idea that left wing people ignore deficits is completely counter-factual. Right wing people ignore deficits unless it’s a left winger in power as has been demonstrated consistently over the past 36 years when the only right winger to try balancing the budget was George H W Bush - and his base turned on him for it.

Left wing people on the other hand accept that there are legitimate times where you can run a deficit. The two obvious ones are you can do it to recover from a disaster (like 2008) or you can do it to invest if you’ve costed it out in the same way you might borrow money for a house, a car, or a college education.[/quote}

History seems to support your thesis in some respects. However, the Progressive movement has been the real culprit; and the cooperation of the RINOs. Under Bill Clinton, a surplus was achieved during a time of economic prosperity thanks to the Republicans because when left to their own devices Democrats always find more and more ways to spend OPM (other people's money) on more programs rather than saving for a rainy day. This has caused the growth in bureaucracy with both parties at fault, but primarily the Progressives. California is a perfect example of a state where Progressive Democrats have never met a tax they don't like. Unfunded liabilities, another problem on the state and local level, are slowly choking our economic freedom. Both parties have not done us any favors by putting us into wars without asking for the American Citizen to share the costs in other ways. We ran a higher deficit and debt by the end of WWII but we were the only real surviving economic power so that we had our way through the post-war era until other economies could rebuild. Since that time our priorities have become so skewed with entitlements that is is nearly impossible to have a consensus about what to cut in order to bring back some economic sanity. This has become one of our most acute problems in the 21st Century. Ask yourself, what entitlements are you willing to give up? if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem!

Part of the Progressive movement. For over 100 years now they have tried to downplay the Constitution and its meaning as irrelevant to the conditions of the day. The living constitution is their bible. We have always had a living constitution but not in the way they think. The Progressives think words mean what they want them to mean and it doesn't matter what they meant at the time they were written. Orwell had much to say about this in his writings, i.e. 1984 and others.

Noted and you have many valid points but there is NO negotiating with Islam PERIOD !

Those of us who are now bound by a different covenant have moved on from the usual narrative you placed here.

Muslims are not allowed in this Republic and have been banned twice see below:


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Muslims Not Allowed!!

Islam Banned From the USA in 1952.

No Muslims Allowed:
Nationality Act June 27, 1952

ISLAM WAS BANNED from the USA in "1952"..

But Obama doesn't want you to know that nor does he respect or uphold US law. The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to Immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States.

That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today" Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs "to any organization seeking to o*******w the government of the United States by "force, violence, or other unconstitutional means."

This, by it's very definition. rules out Islamic Immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House, Islamic Immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic.

All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life's guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government.

Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam
is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any "organization" that advocates the o*******w of our government are prohibited"

ISLAM:
" A Doctrine masquerading as a Religion for millennia based upon Laws ( Shari'a) , a Constitution ( the Qur'an) and an ideology that DEMANDS the death of ALL Jews, Christians and other infidels and is the most misogynistic society in the history of the world"- author unknown

It is time for the government to uphold it's written laws.

Muslims Were Banned From the Americas as Early as the 16th Century, Long before today’s anxiety about terror attacks, Spain and England feared that ens***ed Africans would be more susceptible to revolt if they were Muslim.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Since 9/11 over 3,000 Mosque's have been built in the U.S. Mostly funded with Saudi and Qatari Royal funds.

If one took the time to study the Hijrah methodology one would come to a sudden conclusion, but apparently it's working as planned since most of the American populace is still asleep, stupid, complacent or afraid to take actions.

They don't belong here, never did and they'll be leaving soon Dead or Alive I no longer care.

My job is to stop and reverse the damages to restore this Republic to the founders intent... and that picture does not include Muslims, Border hoppers, T*****rs, Aiders n abetters ... all who have either forgotten or fail to uphold our laws and enforce the ethos of our constitution.

You place too much faith in your govt which is factually hijacked.

I no longer care what our
Officials,
SCOTUS,
district activist judges,
FED authorities, agencies

or any other Muslim Sympathizers say about this stealth Occupation-t***sformation-repopulation-refugee-t***splantation scheme.

Sell it to someone else, I'm not a buyer.

From here we escalate further actions to take the fight to the enemy.
This will accelerate the divisions between Patriot groups and the FED who are now considered an opposition flank.

The rest I can't state here or they'll come for me.

ALERT: Sinister Terror Plot EXPOSED By Mother of Heroic Sailor – Please Pray For Our Fleet

By Angry Patriot ~ June 19, 2017

A container ship registered in the Philippines collided with the USS Fitzgerald off the coast of Japan early Sunday morning resulting in the deaths of seven sailors.

The U.S. Navy has yet to determine whether the incident involved foul play and is working with the captain of the container ship, but the mother of one sailor is raising important questions. Could this have been an attack against American forces? (via The American Thinker)

The mainstream media has been reporting on the collision as if it were an accident, but as more details emerge the collision appears to be an intentional ramming — a deliberate attack.

The container ship was barely damaged while the USS Fitzgerald will be out of commission for close to a year while the anti-ballistic missile destroyer is repaired.

The mother of one of the sailors aboard the USS Fitzgerald contacted The American Thinker to detail some of the oddities in the “official story” the mainstream media has been reporting.

“The ship is registered in the Philippines. We do not know who the owner is. The container ship neither had its running lights or t***sponder on. That is an action taken willfully,” The mother explained.

“Furthermore,” she continues, “for the container ship to strike with such accuracy is troublesome. Given what some have done with cars in Europe, what a feather in the cap it would be to sink a U.S. Navy warship. Think on that.”

The container ship was manned by a crew of 20 sailors and had reportedly made a sharp turn shortly before the collision occurred. Early evidence suggests the collision was intentional (via The Guardian).

Container ships do not just ram into military vessels. There are strict protocols designed to prevent collisions at sea and all of those protocols were ignored by the Philippine-based container ship.

The USS Fitzgerald was recently deployed as part of the USS Ronald Reagan strike group. The USS Fitzgerald is an anti-ballistic missile vessel which accompanied the strike group to protect American vessels from missile strikes.

The loss of the USS Fitzgerald, while repairs are undertaken, renders other American vessels in the region defenseless against ballistic strikes.

The intentional collision could be the latest tactic of asymmetrical warfare as North Korean or Islamic forces grapple to overcome American military superiority.

This is truly troubling.

Absolutely intentional! Philippines has many Muslims and has become more anti-American; Government has aligned themselves China. It will be interesting to see what an investigation of the cargo ship crew reveals. Their ship continued for almost an hour before reporting the so-called accident.

Media Cries H**e Crime Over Muslim Girl K**led By I*****l A***n in Road Rage
Ashley Rae Goldenberg, @c*******m_k**ls
June. 20. 2017


The latest spurious “h**e crime” accusation came after an i*****l i*******t murdered a Muslim teenager with a baseball bat last weekend.

In a v***l news incident that was perfectly crafted for an “Islamophobia in the time of Trump” pitch, news sources reported 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen was k**led while walking to a mosque for Ramadan services.

Shortly after the incident went v***l because it involved a Muslim teenager being k**led, BuzzFeed reported police claimed there was no evidence of the incident being a h**e crime. However, that did not stop people from finding a way to claim the incident was a h**e crime and find ways to blame President Trump.

The Daily Beast ran the headline, “Will Donald Trump Ever Be Interested In the Death of a Muslim?” leading with the story about Hassanen. In the article, author Dean Obeidallah asks, “Was the hijab-wearing Hassanen targeted for her faith?” and then immediately states, “The police stated Monday that as of now they are not investigating this as a h**e crime.”

Despite outright admitting police were not investigating the incident as a h**e crime and had no reason to suspect anti-Muslim h**e was at play, Obeidallah claims in his piece, “Trump has put together the most anti-Muslim administration ever. To put it bluntly there is a direct line from the Trump White House to anti-Muslim h**e.”

Al-Jazeera likewise admitted police were not investigating the crime as a h**e crime before writing in bold print, “Surge in h**e crimes,” and claiming, “Anti-Muslim h**e crimes have surged in recent years.”

BET jumped in, writing, “Muslim teen Nabra Hassanen was brutally beaten to death and police aren't calling it a h**e crime.”

The Cut blatantly ran the headline, “Don’t Tell Me Nabra Hassanen’s Murder Wasn’t a H**e Crime.”

As it turns out, it wasn’t a h**e crime.

On Monday, NBC Washington reported police concluded Hassanen was not k**led because she was a Muslim leaving a mosque. Rather, the police said it was because of 22-year-old i*****l i*******t Darwin Martinez Torres’ road rage.

In a statement on Monday, police said, “This tragic case appears to be the result of a road rage incident involving the suspect, who was driving and who is now charged with murder, and a group of teenagers who was walking and riding bikes in and along a roadway," police said in a statement Monday afternoon.”

Ad Feedback

“Our investigation at this point in no way indicates the victim was targeted because of her race or religion," it continued.

Despite the police repeating again, “There is nothing at this point to indicate that this tragic case was a h**e crime. No evidence has been recovered that showed this was a h**e crime. Nothing indicates it was motivated by race or religion” after it was determined to be a road rage incident, people are still attempting to politicizing the tragedy.

Hassanen’s father disputed the idea that his daughter’s death was road rage, telling the Guardian, “He k**led my daughter because she is Muslim. That’s what I believe. That’s what I told him [the detective.]”

He said he also told the detective, “I want to ask him one question. Why did he do that? Because he doesn’t like Muslims, or what?’ He tells me he has no answer for that. This answer is going to be in the court.”

Human rights lawyer Arjun Sethi tweeted out that Hassanen’s father’s statement, adding, “H**e is terrorizing our communities.”

Documentary filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas responded to news about the i*****l a***n k*****g Hassanen by implying “we need more facts and context,” despite multiple statements from the police.

Of course, Trump will still be expected to issue a statement apologizing for yet another false h**e crime.

Oh please do! But don't apologize because I have, at one time or another, said everything you are saying. The politicians are worthless in this battle. In fact, along with the complacent media, they are the real enemy. People keep v****g them back into office, over and over. People get the kind of government they deserve. But Trump upset this unbalance by naming Gorsuch to the SCOTUS. Now we need that Liberal Hag RBG to retire and the court will be restored to the proper balance and start observing the Constitution that they, and I, took an oath to defend. That being said, I still desire cooler heads to prevail rather than taking the law into our own hands like some l*****t-c*******t-socialist-f*****t-a****a(anti-First Amendment)-elitist-statist-totalitarian. When Tyranny become law, r*******n become duty; Until that time, don't crap all over the Constitution. It still has real meaning to some of us despite Obama's agenda. There really are some peaceful Muslims. If you would open your eyes and get out once in a while you would probably meet them. In fact, you probably already know some, but just never bothered to find out they are Muslim. I wholehearted think they need to be more outspoken against the Wahhabist, Al Qaeda, ISIL brand of Islam that is a cancer. Just as some Fundamentalist Christians are misguided, so are many Muslims, but not all. Islam need a reformation. This is the problem that they will need to solve because you can't k**l all of them. Yes, yes, Islam isn't really a religion in the usual since. It is a doctrinaire way of life and a political system for many adherents. Although it is one of the big 3 monotheistic religions it has succumbed to misguided precepts and hadiths not compatible with the United States Constitution.
