So Boutons answer is to raise taxes on everyone else. Figures.

Are you contending that geometrically expanding deficits don't matter? Naturally we can always pay our debts when we can print all the funny money necessary. No one is arguing that. The question is what will that funny money be worth as far as purchasing goods and services and when will people finally lose faith in the funny money?

What matters depends on a plethora of factors and a good dose of futurology. What's our GDP going to look like in the future? What future laws are going to pass that will impact short and long term debt obligations? etc. You can go back and look at projections throughout the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush Jr years, and they no longer match reality.

There's clear economic indicators of "funny money" losing faith or value. None of which apply to the US dollar at this time. We have companies sitting on trillions of funny money because consumers rather ac ulate the funny money than spend it. That's perhaps the strongest signal of confidence in funny money. Inflation levels in the US (especially compared to the rest of the world) have remained at historical levels.

Silly people get conned all the time with doomsayer fantasies, but the reality is there for everyone to see.

Now there's nothing wrong with hedging your bets and perhaps getting some metals, but going all in on the dollar collapsing is, IMO, crazy. There's simply no logical factors behind that.

Dumbass...344 Billion is 34.3 Trillion

really?

1 trillion = 1000 billion

Hope you have an accountant doing your math...

No reason to when you can print money. That's why we are printing almost a trillion dollars a year right now.

By what measure?

[CosmicCowboy]

By what measure?

What is it...80 billion a month on QE4?

btw, since I didnt get to meet you saturday, if your Porter was a girl, I would've married it on the spot.

Very tasty brew.

[scott]

To be fair, I have a huge problem with a $35 trillion deficit in 20 years. Let's avoid that one.

Then can we find a solution that liberals will accept?

Thanks - I just realized you guys had the GTG this past weekend. Unfortunately I was out of town at a speaking engagement. Glad you had a good time and no one killed anyone else!

What solution do you think is necessary to avoid a 10,000% increase in the projected federal deficit of 2035?

Good thing the waitress was efficient at cleaning up the bodies. Between you and I it would have looked like a massacre.

This is gonna be great!

liberals are tax and spend

Repugs are borrow and spend.

wish it were that simple. On where to spend has always been the biggest bone of contention between parties. Taxing policy on the federal level is an economic regulator and not a source of funds.

We won't see him in this thread again.
