BREAKING NEWS!! U.S. to reach debt limit Saturday | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 39208582 United States 05/17/2013 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama ran up a shit load of bills then complains when the American people don't want to pay for it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17640543 That's exactly right. And the bills he ran up were the cost of buying votes from non-producers. It's a great gig when you think about it - take money from one group to buy the loyalty of the opposing group to keep yourself in power and wealth. It's the essence of modern American politics. |

They provide no tangible product, they collect money and refuse to pay services, that is how they become so rich. At least oil companies, as greedy as they are, provide a tangible service. :RW Fanatic: there are many people whose houses have burned completely to the slab that would disagree with you ranttard. |

Chrit User ID: 27088294 United States 05/17/2013 05:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How HISTERICAL obammie states in his speech that " Debt is falling faster than any other time in history! " end quote...then ONE PERSON starts to applaud andOloser says" that deserves an applause" . Quoting: Little Miss Sunshine Really???? Play on words. As projected right now by 2017 US federal budget deficit, that is how much is taken in vs. how much is spent will be around half of what it is today. Today we are spending more than a trillion dollars more every single year then we take in in revenue! By 2017 we will “only” be spending half a trillion more then we take in. this is the play on words, were reducing our budget deficit faster than ever before. But we are still spending way way more then we take in, as we stand we owe 16 trillion in debt, much of this debt to ourselves in the form of non intrest breaing bonds. Were floating out own debt by borrowing from our left pocket to pay back our right pocket. By 2017 national debt by CBO estimates will have risen another 6 trillion more to $22 trillion total. Example to put the numbers in perspective in 2000 the us was running a budget surplus of 160 billion, meaning were spending 160 billion less then we took in every year. And the US national debt was around 6 trillion and dropping, not raising. The other thing, this is a little more complicated, I’ll try to explain it in very simple terms, not easy to do. The M2 money supply, that is the money in the bank that you and I have deposited along with all the money readily available for loans like small business lines of credit was about 5 trillion dollars in 2000, today because of QE there is 10 trillion in circulation. By 2017 it will be just under 15 trillion, so in 17 years the amount of money in circulation went up by 2/3 and because of lack of demand all this extra currency sitting around not being used is devaluing the dollars buying power. This is why you can get a loan for near nothing right now, they are begging you to borrow the money from them. Sooner or later there is a tipping point where we all have money but we don’t all have commodities, so the value of a commodity raises exponentially and this is how inflation becomes rampant. I don’t want your dollar for my ear of corn, I don’t need a dollar, I can borrow all the dollars I want from the banks for less in interest a year then inflation is rising! All of a sudden to get me to part with my ear of corn I want three dollars or 4 or 5. That was as simple as I could make it sound. CBO projected debt, the sharp line up is if we do not raise the budget and default on loans. How many times a dollar changes hands a year from 1950 and up Who the bonds are owed to. Bond return rates There done editing it, had to pull up more info. Last Edited by Chrit on 05/17/2013 05:17 PM I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17640543 I find this comment somewhat comical. Do you understand what the debt ceiling is? Do you understand that if not raised, our credit rating will be reduced again? Our Country is in debt to its ears and then some, but we must raise it otherwise it is the end of America. Literally. The only way to fix this, and people hate hearing this, is to take back some of this un-earned wealth abundance that the top 1% of America holds. I mean, you cannot ammass billions upon billions of dollars, in some cases trillions, without having fucked the shit out of people to get it. So, in my humble opinion, it is stolen money anyway, obtained through crooked deals, underhanded business practices and pretty much selling out your country and the people in it. There is no way an Insurance Company should be a Fortune 500 Corporation. They provide no tangible product, they collect money and refuse to pay services, that is how they become so rich. At least oil companies, as greedy as they are, provide a tangible service. The worst thing that has ever happened to America, and it has been/will be the destruction of America are NAFTA and de-regulation of public services. Agreed. But how can you take wealth that is 1s and 0s in a computer. The Emperor has no clothes. [link to cluborlov.blogspot.com] An interesting blog if you haven't read it already. |
Useless Cookie Eater User ID: 29696048 United States 05/17/2013 05:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. will reach its debt limit on Saturday, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told congressional leaders in a letter on Friday, but said the U.S. is taking extraordinary measures to keep paying bills. Lew said those measures, including previously announced suspension of sales of state and local Treasury securities, won't be exhausted until "after Labor Day." That's a slight adjustment from his statement earlier this month about being "okay until Labor Day." Other measures include suspending reinvestment of Treasury securities held by a federal employee retirement plan. Quoting: Gypsy Priest [link to inagist.com] |

Fingulas User ID: 39825499 United States 05/17/2013 06:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a golden opportunity for the Conservatives in both houses. Hold the debt ceiling hostage for special prosecutors in ALL the major scandals now erupting. Want the ceiling lifted Mr. O? Well that's 5 special prosecutors and the resignation of the Dept. of Justice. Summon holder the next day and arrest his brazen ass for contempt of congress and espionage. Accuse him of spying for foreign power and hold him in Gitmo, as an example to all these marxist game players. If the republicans have any balls at all they can ride this momentum into the total destruction of the Democratic machine. Just like Nixon damaged the Republicans for a generation. Just say "We can't trust the IRS, DHS, State Dept with the money until we've thoroughly investigated these matters. It's our public trust to withhold funding until we can verify all of the facts." Then sic the meanest most noxious investigators on their asses. Perferrably with Tea-Party affiliations so they have a HUGE axe to grind (rightly so). Goodness, Obama wouldn't sleep tonight if I let the opposition party. He'd be preparing for his arraignment hearing the next morning. |

"We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation's deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation's debt cap.
