The only reason we continue to survive is because our currency is now DIGITAL in nature and can be manipulated with a key stroke. ALL IS WELL" |

Islam = Gold and silver as money, pro-capitalism, usury/interest-based loans forbidden, fractional reserve banking forbidden, stimulus packages forbidden, insurance companies and gambling forbidden, minimalized income tax etc. Allowing Islamic economic policies to take place will solve the national debt. There will be some struggle and hardship in the initial phase as bad businesses and speculative investments get wiped out (rightly so), but the end outcome will be an explosion of wealth as everybody's purchasing power is restored and power is taken away from the toxic lenders/bankers who steal from tax payers every day. |

BBQ BOY™ User ID: 77857043 United States 07/28/2020 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many people believe that much of U.S. debt is owed to foreign countries like China and Japan. The truth is, most of it is owed to Social Security and pension funds. This means U.S. citizens, through their retirement money, own most of the national debt. [link to www.thebalance.com (secure)] "Never underestimate the pain of a person. In all honesty, everyone is struggling. Just some people are better at hiding it than others." Everyone has to work out their own salvation. Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. |

Blenderizer User ID: 76760905 United States 07/28/2020 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are solutions but the rich people who own government don't like most of them. Historically you can default on debt, individuals and corporations go through bankruptcy to discharge their debt. The only consequence is that your credit rating is lowered for a period of time. But since our currency is created by debt, and that debt has associated interest costs they have to continually create new debt. So your bad credit rating will soon disappear. It's almost a joke. To eliminate the debt you can either default on it, or you can inflate it away if you are a government. That means issuing a bunch of new debt which then erodes the purchasing power of the currency making it easier to pay off the old debt, but you still have the new debt to deal with, it's just delayed. You mentioned lower interest rates, that is what the fed has been doing since 2000 believe it or not, artificially lowering the interest rates to make it easier to borrow. In reality we need a deep depression that would clear out a lot of this unpayable debt in bankruptcy. But the government is unlikely to choose this course of action because they are owned by reich people who don't want to lose a dime. The final solution is for the government to issue state currency that is created by law not by debt. Then use that new currency to pay off old debt and meet entitlement spending. That would be 'greenbacks' there used to be lots of threads here on the topic. Modeling reality |

Debt-to-GDP ratio Description In economics, the debt-to-GDP ratio is the ratio between a country's government debt and its gross domestic product. A low debt-to-GDP ratio indicates an economy that produces and sells goods and services sufficient to pay back debts without incurring further debt. According to the U.S. Bureau of Public Debt, in 2015 and 2017, the United States had debt-to-GDP ratios of 104.17% and 105.4%, respectively.May 31, 2020 it's around 108% now. this figure should be as far below 100% as possible Debt sustainability.

Since debt grows faster than the real producing economy you can never pay off the debt, you can only default on it. Modeling reality |

Tie interest rate to economic status, to encourage the upper class to spend, the middle class to spend/save, and the lower class to save.

Instead of a Space Race, let's have a GDP to Debt ratio race The share of external debt of Russia in the country's gross domestic product (GDP) amounted to 40 percent at the end of 2016, which was the highest figure since 2013. As of March 31, 2019, Russia's external debt accounted for 29 percent of its GDP, marking a slight increase compared to the end of 2018. Let's see who can get to a Debt-to-GDP ratio of zero first?

Don't use a debt money system. Let the US Treasury create the money supply (M1), either with gold backing or fiat. Spend the money into circulation.
