Anonymous Coward User ID: 1463982 United States 08/01/2011 09:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When you are 13 TRILLION dollars in debt, the last thing you would want to do is add to that debt. Take that number in for a second... Not $1,300 Not $13,000 Not $130,000 Not $1,300,000 Not $13,000,000 Not $13,000,000,000 BUT... $13,000,000,000,000. That's what we OWE as a nation. We are not in the positive, and therefore, there is NOTHING positive about increasing the debt ceiling. Our mockery of an elected government "for the people, by the people, of the people" has put us into a position where not only are our backs against the wall, they're shirtless as well. AT WHAT POINT DOES IT STOP? We are allowing ourselves to sit back, debating among one another (productive, right? Ha, no.) while our government sells us out for the selfish agendas of the elite bankers who are now salivating over the amount of interest money they'll be collecting. I know no greater tragedy than what our "system" has become. It is truly a shame that noble and honorable politicians are few and far between (God Bless You, Mr. Paul). I can only hope that one day we open our eyes as a nation and stand up for ourselves, for our our families, for our freedom. |

Quoting: Least ServantIf I were in charge I'd be seeing the diminishing returns starting to smack me in the face. government should have never been modeled as a 'business' but I feel ya there for sure! But there really is no one 'in charge'... The situation at hand and the 'emotional connection' is what is really in charge of anything here in the US... As you know a great deal of individual effort taken together as a collective force is required each day to keep the world moving and all of us alive for another day. Well, a lot of the forces that inspire this daily motion are themselves tired and need rest... so the burden shifts to younger structures which have progressively less momentum as the burdens entrusted to them at each stage are greater and greater than the previous... the fall of civilizations, in this case, a global civilization. I think one of the problems is that people do not have a moral investment in their 'individual efforts'. Especially when it comes to government and larger corporations. They just do as they were taught and they are just trying to make a buck. People should not 'run' for office at all.. they should be CHOSEN... I would much rather have people in office who don't want to be there in the first place! They would all be working to put themselves out of jobs, solving the issues which required their employment in the first place--- BEAUTIFUL! That is how the Founding Fathers intended American government to function. The idea was that there would be no political class or politician position as an occupation, since they envisioned the people would elect men from society who were so successful as private citizens, they would actually have to take a personal loss to serve the nation as their duty, and as such they would strive to change the things that needed to be changed and solved the immediate crises as expediently as possible and get back to their private lives spent enriching the nation's economy. Needless to say, we are completely off-track now. RON PAUL 2012 Last Edited by Least Servant on 08/01/2011 09:58 PM :romaflag: Not enough to fight, too many to die. |

Our credit rating will STILL be downgraded, and savings or increased revenue, i.e. taxes, will now go to higher interest rates. Not to mention the average Joe, who now has less services available, less money, and higher interest rates. Just what they needed to further stuff the pockets of the elites, and drive what is left of the middle class in to poverty. |

Levi Philos User ID: 590644 United States 08/01/2011 10:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mitchell Innes on the credit origins of money (1913 & 1914) is important as part of understanding monetary theory and toward development of an improved design. Innes argues that money is always issued as the issuer's debt, no matter the form--coin, tally-stick or paper--and defends his proposition with a lengthy discussion of money in ancient Rome, Greece, Carolingian France and early modern Britain and Europe. Money appeared first as a unit of account for a debt, not as a medium of exchange. Its value and acceptance is determined by its ability to discharge a debt, ultimately a debt to the state, and is not linked to metal. Money's value is stable in societies with strong states able to enforce tax collection. Quoting: Randall Wray[link to findarticles.com] Longer and more complex: [link to www.cfeps.org] The original Michael Innes pieces are WHAT IS MONEY? From The Banking Law Journal, May 1913. [link to www.ces.org.za] and The Credit Theory of Money, From The Banking Law Journal, Vol. 31 (1914), Dec./Jan., Pages 151-168. [link to www.ces.org.za] I recommend reading each of these several times. Reference my previous writing on correct assignment of seigniorage. This is critically important if the books are to balance.

It does not reduce spending. It increased borrowing. There were trillions of wasteful spending that could have been cut immediately, not spread over 10 years, but IMMEDIATELY. It did not have to include social security, or medicaid/medicare to accomplish it. Neither established Republicans, or Democrats would even look at the 100,000 itemized cuts in the governments own book of wasteful spending. Only the Tea Party wanted to cut any of that.

All while they are busy spending trillions of dollars in places we shouldn't be, 'fighting' wars that the greatest military on earth should have been done with years ago, and now demanding more money to bomb them some more and then pay to rebuild what we blow up.
