I wouldn’t say “ironic” but rather that public surplus is private deficit… sector balances!

Yes, surely getting rid of social security will solve the nation’s financial woes.

Every damn time with these guys.

@ZhiZhu Bankrupting the US is a feature, not a bug. And Trump is just the circus freak put out front to distract us.

@ZhiZhu As i've neen saying for a long time, only to be told the US cant go bankrupt. BS. Of course it can go bankrupt, if it cant honor its debts, then its bankrupt. Simples.
Trouble is, if the US falls, we all fall. Everyone. Bar maybe China, who has the manufacturing base to ride out the tsunami

@ZhiZhu There aren't enough assets on the whole planet to pay off the US debt, and its STILL rising daily

@ZhiZhu
When you can issue the currency, you can't become insolvent.

You can have problems, but that one is misinformation.

@ZhiZhu thanks a lot, Biff

Don't worry. The current regime is going to make everything better, and they're not relying on smoke and mirrors — they're more of the thoughts and prayers type.

@ZhiZhu do enough hyperinflation and we'll be able to pay off that 42 trillion with a single facebook marketplace sofa.

Good stuff but i disagree with the conclusion. I don't think they will legislate their way out of this if Trump keeps announcing fiscal policy with executive memos -- they have to impeach him
