CNN anchor chokes up on air after Trump rips Baltimore

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Ghost will answer as soon as he finds a tweet on Qanon that he can cut and paste.

There's been some good ones lately, too. DECLAS coming?

The big moving President Trump wants to do to eliminate our debt will require bipartisan support. Which will come, after the other pieces are moved into place first, and certain 'blockcades' are knocked off the board.

#StableGenius. This plan is a decade in the making.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Ghost, our debt can indeed be erased by replacement of the current dollar. I certainly don't see that as an option by 2025. Is such an option in your cards?

If you look at how it can happen given the current monetary structure, its tough to see a path to debt-free that doesn't cause severe problems for the US and world.

The world's monetary structure as well as the US's will look far different in 2025. Also, look at President Trump's Executive Orders. They hint at what's coming on multiple levels.

Your President Trump proven right once again.

Do you know what's going to happen now? Every major city will have to answer tough questions about how it uses federal money.

ACCOUNTABILITY. Better results for our biggest cities, less taxpayer money wasted.

All the things the left claims to support. But when your President Trump fights for these things, they lose their minds.

He's done more for Baltimore and the like (in less than two weeks) than many decades of false promises/politicians have accomplished.

He certainly hasn't done much with his 6 figure salary since taking over that district. I think they should start taking away from the salary of these congressmen/women that have simply drawn a paycheck for decades.

Owebama was there for 8 years and blew 11 Trillion ( 1 trillion of Bush debt was Owebama's Porkulus TRILLION that got back dated to Bush.)

But regardless, they were the two WORST Presidents in US History. As for Clinton, he did nothing other than get out of the way and allow Newt to continue the Reagan Economic Recovery once he and Hillary managed to get the democrats wiped out in the 1994 elections and force the Republicans to have to deal with all the day to day crap that he wanted NONE of.

He wanted A Noble Putz Prize so he spent his time dealing with Arafat trying to bribe him into signing a Peace Treaty after he had James Carvile and Co. oust Netanyahu from the Israeli P/M job and turn it over to the far Leftist Ehud Barak who offered to give away 99.9% of everything Arafat claimed he wanted.

But the LAST thing Arafat wanted was a nation to run. He was a terrorist and thief. Nothing more. So Willie's Noble Putz Prize went down the crapper.

Yes MD, Clinton and Bush were the worst 2 Presidents
in US history.
Sorry to say but Trumpy Bear is going to join those ranks
as being the worst President in history.
Now in what order, it will be determined later.
As i said earlier Trump is spending money just like
Bush the drunken sailor did.
As this article states, watch the right hand so you don't see
what the left hand is doing.
They have been using this tactic for years and years and very

First to speak is Thomas Jefferson: "We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."

Next is Alexander Hamilton: "Nothing can more affect national prosperity than a constant and systematic attention to extinguish the present debt and to avoid as much as possibl(e) the incurring of any new debt." I'm not sure if that line made it into "Hamilton," the Broadway musical, but if it didn't, it should have to teach a new generation about fiscal responsibility.

Then we have this from George Washington: "Avoid occasions of expense . . . and avoid likewise the accumulation of debt not only by shunning occasions of expense but by vigorous exertions to discharge the debts, not throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear."

If that's not enough, how about this from James Madison: "I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse, and in a Republican Government a greater curse than any other."

John Adams said: "The consequences arising from the continual accumulation of public debts in other countries ought to admonish us to be careful to prevent their growth in our own."

Are you getting the picture?

https://www.theadvertiser.com/story.../07/30/founders-and-national-debt/1856151001/

WELL! Are folks getting the freaking picture?

 

[AgentOrange2217]

I have to wonder if all this global debt and at some point...perhaps either a one-world currency or all transactions being digital...perhaps both might be instituted.

No, Box...I don't believe people "are getting the freaking picture" anymore than I'm getting it because as fluid as things are...with debt climbing as it is...with nobody (that I can see) really doing much about debt (unless you count growing more debt)...I've not believed for some time that it's not good/electable to actually do the things to live within our means...and with so many folks not caring one way or the other..."just as long as I get my check, I don't care"...there ya' geaux.

I believe there are too many variables to consider...Trump must win election November, 2020...and there cannot be a significant financial downturn before next year's election...I wonder about early 2020...I see the potential for a downturn at that time (I hope I am wrong about that)...then the issue with the de-dollarization that's ongoing...as I see it, Trump is hostage to many events (possible): the big-boy banks of Europe, the failure of the unfederal reserve (if they do in fact drop rates and it backfires) and the other banks cannot stem the damage...the chances for a downturn (and at least a moderate one) are huge, IMO.

Remember Box, most on this forum cannot fathom Trump not being reelected...a financial downturn...or the fact that Trump can't pull a rabbit out of his hat and somehow, somewhere...all this debt will be a thing of the past...and they may be proven correct with the passage of time..."keep watching" as Ghost says...so, we will watch...but I believe there are things that Trump can do...as I believe there are many things that others (in power) will have to join the "Trump Train" for Trump to have much chance (if any) of success.

Do I wish Trump success?...you betcha.

Clinton pulled his scam by forcing home lenders to approve loans that would mostly be foreclosed on. It created a boom in building new homes but so many that were approved could never pay the ballooning interest rates and really couldn't afford a new home at zero % interest. Bush inherited all of those foreclosures, so, the obvious thing to do was start a war and award bailouts to major corporations.

Beating dead donkeys and elephants does only so little and essentially changes nothing.

So, who save Trump is really trying to do anything meaningful to right the ship?

Yeah I am not a fan of how it is run but unwinding it would be a difficult and lengthy process and flat out shutting. it down overnight would be an economic disaster for the world.

Even restricting it to sound money policy has big downsides in the near term and we are getting older not younger.

 

[AgentOrange2217]

There are several points I consider:
The central banks have been, IMO, the major cause of every economic downturn this country has faced...again, my opinion.
And when thinking people know the central banks have with their derivative products and gosh knows what else they've done that has and continues to harm the global economy...and their upcoming rate cuts set the stage for more unwinding of the global community...just why would I think it should be left alone?
All this Q.E. has, IMO, distorted about everything...and now, the banks will go full-tilt boogie towards ZIRP, increasingly NIRP...and nothing they are doing is working well.
The central banks remind me of the falsehoods (many) of the democratic party with respect to Medicare for all...the dems say "you gotta have medicare for all."...and for a party that is so "pro-choice"...they're being hypocrites in the extreme (IMO) to limit choice...of whether you can keep your private medical insurance...IMO, Medicare for All and the central banks remind me of where, "yes, you can have/order a hotdog...but you can't have any mustard on it."

1st you have to stop the shenanigans.
Rates should be used to promote sound money not involve the calculus of employment or recession.
Gold could be brought back but it would float for years if not decades.
The Welfare state would have to be abolished along with SS MC etc.
Propping up government spending on social programs is the main driver of deficits and debt. But more than half the country believe that this social heroin is good for them. Then if you can get mom and pop into debt consolidation with fixed rate loans you can let loose the Kraken of inflation and inflate your way out of debt...the losers would be the banks but they would be whole on the books

 

[AgentOrange2217]

And remember...like other plans that might actually help this country...demolishing the Fed over night is not a good idea...nor did I ever say I was for an overnight implosion of the Fed...but a game plan must be constructed to where, within two years max...no more Fed.
And when the next bad recession hits...and all those who are pro-fed cry victimization...just who's gonna listen?

Keep it but restrict it to sound money and wind down will take more than 2 years and you have to restrict easy credit aka credit cards to the masses once you start the process. The point is to heal the nation not let mom and pops like me continue to use the addictive credit card and get stuck with variable rates of any kind while inflating out of debt.

[DCandtheUTBand]

I never said, hinted or implied that everyone who is 'mega' wealthy is a crook.

No but you are NOT getting but a drop in the bucket from any confiscations and that is a one shot deal..The USoA has to have a fundamental change in spending to fix this problem.

Its not the Fed Res, Wall Street or a few crooks that have us 22T+ in debt and 100T + on the hook for Social Security MC and Medicare and welfare. I will be damned before I pay more taxes than I already do to prop up pyramid schemes so that the Dumbocrat party remains a viable political farce.

I have a retirement plan on paper that I am working that doesn't entail me paying high taxes regardless of what the fools in DC do. If you get most of your inputs free of having to spend money then that is tax free. Think solar, wood boilers, well water, a large garden, food preservation and very low property taxes. My wife and I have our biggest garden to date and yet we are still learning. Next year the entire back yard will be food.

And this year I have freed up at 1K in debt service with a net positive cash flow of $600/mo better than this time last yr. via debt consolidation from a home equity loan. I had cut my debt in half over the yrs but still owed quite a bit due to my wifes student loans and credit cards. My total monthly bill for the house inc the eq loan is $980...rents around here are 1200-1500/mo. I consider it a win. Cars are paid off and daughters first year of college is free.

Anyone left with high debt in cards or other variable rate products will get screwed in any significant large change in the economy aka flushing the parasite called the Fed.

Trump is squeezing them to go down in rates while increasing spending. This tips re-election in his favor and I am shocked that the libtards at the Fed are helping him. He must have bluffed them because if he really did hammer them they would quit buying treasuries and take QE off the table, this gubmint is f*cked and the world goes up in flames overnight. It would be an economic murder-suicide. But this rate lowering and spending just makes the fix harder.

We need fiscal discipline that sees the lower end pulling their own weight and learning to either better themselves or be happy with the minimum of food and shelter. Its how we got into 22T+ debt. via Large Bl*W J*b LBJs Worst Society...the elderly programs will have to be phased out with people in their 40s at the time it begins walking away from SS and Medicare and paying the freight for those who will need the system. The younger set will not really have put much in but they too will fork over in taxes to see that the dependent are taken care of.

All of this will go over like a turd in a punch bowl.

I did and its NOT going to happen because its a fantasy that could not work anyway. Can I make it any clearer that your premises are flawed beyond any real working solution even if the plan was carried out. Odds that it is implemented 0%. Odds of success if implemented 0%.

All central banks would need to be done away with not just our Fed. Unilateral disarmament is a recipe for disaster and permanent loss of way of life for the USoA. Total dissolution of central banks is an unraveling that would destroy the world economic system with most people forced to start over.

This 50 yr old aint on board for any risk that sees my way of life diminish any further than it has since 2000 when Bush was handed a bag of crap left him by Clinon. I aint on board whether to solve a supposed climate crisis or to eliminate our debt of 120T + by LOL 2025.

Trump aint got a magic wand and central banks aren't the root cause of our ills. They are an enabler of a parasitical bloated freedom stealing centralized national gubmint that millenails have been told will solve all their problems by their school teachers and college profs. They will be calling the shots in a decade or two.

You better have a plan B that involves you being your own John Galt and opting out of the system as best you can or if you are still young you will be a wage slave paying north of 50% of you income to the gubmint like the serfs in Europe do. But hey you will have free health care if the life saving treatment you need isnt being rationed or outright denied.
