The U.S. has been in debt since the 1800s.
And yet, they want us to pay back our loans

That's what I was looking for initially. Damn joke.First thing I thought about was how much jobs this system will create.
Thanks for posting those vids up there. I love watching people flip and spit truth over how screwed up things really are.
jobs being "created" is gonna make politicians look good. but the people cant see that the costs of creating these jobs have to come from somewhere, thats when the person at the end of the supply chain (customer) gets screwed with price increases.

if that was true then the debt would have been solved twice in the last 10 years

its used as a reason like with WW2 and the great depression.
weimar germany had a debt problem and what happened? hyperinflation and war.
war is used as a great distraction to fiscal ailments that a country has cause the winners get the spoils

Are you just talking or are you actually going to present plausible scenarios for the 21st century...

plausible scenario? ok il give one to you.
there will be another stock market crash. mutual funds, retirement accounts, etc are all effected. government will protect us by getting us to invest in their bonds at a decent yield. they will market it in a way where it makes "sense" to throw all your money into it. during this time, they will prosecute and point the finger at wall st when it was the federal reserve that caused the bubble to be created in the first place.
they will then use the proceeds of said cash to pay off the debts or keep accumulating and playing the game for a little longer
throw in bail ins and haircuts on the rich and you golden.
btw hyperinflation happened to a few countries in the 21st century and one of them was because of too much DEBT

that is the only possible solution?
is that even a solution or you just predicting what will happen because there is no solution?

Welcome back to work. Today being the first full day back for a lot of us.
Any insight/commentary on how it was handled now that its over?
I was at my local liquor store which is run by a middle eastern dude and we kicked it for 10 minutes and in its simplest form he put it pretty well...he said basically the rest of the world is laughing at us....the government got shut down....people still got paid for missing work....and nothing really got accomplished when it was all said and done.
I guess its nice that the precedent wasn't set that if you just hold out and shut everything down that you can get your way...so that is a small win...but feel free to correct me or add but what was really accomplished by this. I know the funding that got passed was cut more then the democrats wanted and not as much as the republicans wanted. Even though it was closer to republican #'s. And the debt ceiling got raised...but that wasn't really the reason the gov't got shut down in the first place.
Either way....welcome back...and what did you do all shutdown (i cleaned...did house maintenance...a lot...and played video games...oh and made some pretty good chili and meatloaf)

In the grand scheme of things............absolutely nothing. However, if you ask any dedicated/irrational Republican they will tell you that they fought a good fight. Not really sure what that means when you still lose and gain nothing.

Welcome back!!!!! I work for the state of MD so we weren't affected, but we have had our fair share of furloughs the past few years. At any point during this two week vaca, were you worried at all about your future employment with the FEDS? How did your fellow coworkers handle this?
I do agree that this makes us look bad in the eyes of the world. It was basically a bunch of 12 year olds trying to see who has the bigger ****

hmm.. so you don't believe in there being any solution at all....
are there any solutions that people are proposing that you think won't work?
