Detournement Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 5 hours ago, welshbairn said: He wasn't suggesting that literally, just that they could refuse to honour all their debt and their debtors could do nothing about it. It's the Trump way. He is right that it will never be paid off though. It's impossible for the USA to run a big enough surplus to repay the debt without completely destroying their economy. It will be rolled over and constantly refinanced until there is a revolution or a nuclear apocalypse. This is an interesting graph. So in 30 years the amount of dollars in circulation has increased by 1000% with zero inflationary effect. This completely the disproves the common Weimar/Zimbabwe/Venezuela trope that printing = hyperinflation. Hyperinflation is solely caused by a lack of consumer goods. As long as the global status quo is that countries have to accept dollars or they will be invaded and their political leaders murdered America has no financial issues. Even beyond that though there is no reason why non imperialist countries shouldn't use fiscal expansion to reach their productive potential. The reason that we are wedded to this nonsense system is that US debt alone pays $276 billion dollars a year to financial elites for no risk or effort. They are obviously quite attached to that free money and won't give it up lightly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 He did manage to get Mrs Ohr's name wrong on his Twitflub this morning but to give him the benefit of the doubt, it's less likely to be misogyny and more likely because he's thick as pigshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Trump is planning to appoint Pappy Bush's Attorney General back to do the same job for him. The guy is Bill Barr and he completely shut down the Iran Contra investigation into actual proven massive crimes that the entire American media has been scared to mention for the last two weeks. Trump is a terrible President but he's great at trolling media cretins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's accused the Mueller team of Democratic bias. Two good reasons for Trump to hire him.

killiefan27 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Quote In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1... after making the payment to the second woman, and after Individual-1 was elected President, Cohen privately bragged to friends and reporters, including in recorded conversations, that he had made the payment to spare Individual-1 from damaging press and embarrassment I wonder who Individual-1 is?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
