Ponzi Keynesian economics is for big gov lovers. End the fed!.

[dcliberty]

Maybe the debt will be paid off by illegal immigrants, technology, a zero percent tax rate, or magic fairy dust, but the reality is that the US debt is increasing constantly, no one cares, and spending more money to reduce the debt will only lead to disaster.

Debt didn't work out too well for Rome, Germany, Japan, Greece, or Zimbabwe.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Our fiat currency will be accepted by all as long as we can vaporize anyone that says otherwise.

It is good that those fiscally responsible Republicans are working so hard to reduce our deficits. The budget will be balanced in no time! MAGA!

We'll need $2T annual deficits just to keep up with the law of diminishing returns. Last month's deficit was in excess of $200B so we're getting there.

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

Your input would be better received if you posted information instead of links and stopped using large bold fonts! You are not telling us anything new. Always good to discuss but no info and bold fonts are a game stopper.

Americans seem to have forgotten their own history.


Americans should be moral, be proud, and have personal responsibility.

Americans are supposed to be the good guys. We should not be Commies or Nazis.

Governments are not kind. Government is force.

Businesses are not cruel. Companies are about voluntarily transactions.

Americans wrongly think that because the US is immoral now, the USA was always immoral.

Americans wrongly think that because the US has high taxes now, the USA always had high taxes.

Americans wrongly think that because the US has welfare now, the USA always had welfare.

Americans wrongly think that because the US is at war now, the USA was always at war.

Americans wrongly think that because the US is in debt now, the USA was always in debt.

Americans wrongly think that because the US is a police state now, the USA was never a free country.

Instead of allowing the free market to work, the USA seems to think fixing every problem with a decree is an effective solution.

Instead of improving product quality, lowering wages, and using technology to increase exports, the USA would rather start a trade war by punishing foreign imports with higher tariffs.

Instead of reducing regulations and ending welfare to stimulate the economy, Americans would rather increase debt with money printing and borrowing to bailout failed companies and to boost the stock market.

Instead of allowing private charities to feed the poor, Americans would rather ban feeding the homeless and panhandling.

Instead of reducing regulations and allowing people to live in tiny houses, Americans would rather ban tiny houses and use rent control decrees to try to make prices lower.

Instead of hard work, careful spending, and investing, the government would rather decree that minimum wages must be higher.

Instead of allowing people to own guns and protect themselves, our overlords would rather ban guns by decree.

Instead of allowing people to be responsible for themselves, Americans would rather have our overlords decree that we must wear helmets, use seatbelts, and not smoke.

The problem with decreeing quick fixes and ignoring the free market is that they lead to dependence, bubbles, and a false sense of wealth.

Nothing has been fixed since the 2008 crash. Banking fraud was rewarded with bailouts instead of being punished with jail sentences.

No effective laws have been enacted to restrain Wall Street fraud and the debt is larger now.

Almost every single problem in the US is caused by the government:

College is expensive because of government loans.

Medical costs are expensive because of government regulations.

Rent is expensive because of government regulations.

Families are broken because of government welfare.

Illegal immigrants are flooding the country because the government won’t patrol the border.

The economy is bad because of government regulations.

Taxes are high because of government waste, subsidies, wars, welfare, and debt.

There are terrorism and refugees because of US wars.

Part of the reason the USA is collapsing now and drug use, alcoholism, suicides, and STD rates are rising is because the elites have
changed the rules. Some Americans are not reacting well to the changes. Instead of having personal responsibility, being moral, and
working hard, Americans are now told to be lazy, immoral, and dependent.

Since everything was illegal in the USSR, Russians just gave up. Now we’re seeing the same thing happening in the US.

Why bother doing anything if you’re just going to go to jail?

Why work if your taxes pay for illegal immigrants, debt, war, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm?

The USA is collapsing.

Americans have no rights, everything is illegal, and the US is no longer a democracy.

The US is in debt, is conducting multiple wars, is a police state, is flooded by illegal immigrants, and has become immoral.

Americans are either ignoring the decay or think that nothing can be done to stop the decline. Almost no one thinks the US can be saved.

No one appears to be worried about tyranny because liberals think the police state only applies to conservatives and conservatives think the police state only affects liberals.

The truth seems to be that the elites want to wipe out the strong white men and plan to send the weak liberals to the gulags where they will be starved and killed. The 1% will then divide the wealth and land of the US among themselves.

How else can you explain the destruction of the USA? Economics isn’t rocket science. If you want a strong economy, don’t punish hard work with taxes and regulations while rewarding laziness with welfare and allowing millions of 3rd world immigrants to flood the country.

Tyranny has never worked out well anywhere. Those fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Sadly Americans won’t realize what is happening until it is too late.

Never underestimate the inhumanity of man towards man. Greed has no bounds.

Anyone who supports the police state, wars, debt, regulations, or welfare is just a tool for the elites.

Wake up.

Think.

Pass the word.

America is decay true , but Zippy could be paying more taxes and it is time for Danke to Do Something .

[dcliberty]

Maybe the elites are planning to print so much money that they just inflate the debt away.

What will you do when your $1 million retirement savings only buys a loaf of bread?

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Ponzi Keynesian economics is for big gov lovers. End the fed!.

I don't think of this as Keynesian economics. From what I learned of Keynesian theory, it references deficit spending during the negative business cycle. I had one Econ. Professor tell me the Keynesian model has the government run a surplus during a positive business cycle.

I consider the huge deficits during a positive business cycle has a departure from the free market to socialism. It could just be greed, stupidity, or recklessness, but I see it as a path of centralized control of the economy.

Either way taxation is theft!

Things fall apart.

Clean-cut, moral Americans who were taught to hate Communism, be hard-working, be responsible, respect free speech, support religious freedom, defend gun rights, oppose warrantless searches, seizures, and torture must be in a state of shock to watch the USA become Socialist.

The elites and the media are pushing wars, tyranny, debt, illegal immigrants, offshoring, moral decay, and Socialism.

Americans pretend everything is fine and put their heads in the sand to ignore the obvious decline.

One day Americans may wake up and wonder how bankers can commit fraud and be rewarded with billion dollar bailouts instead of being jailed. Americans may ask why they should obey the law when the government and illegal immigrants don't. Why can the police kill unarmed Americans, the CIA can torture, officials can lie to Congress, IRS agents can target conservatives, and the EPA can pollute, but Americans can't?

Angry Americans might start resisting by lying on government forms, getting fake ID's, failing to pay taxes, not buying insurance, not wearing seatbelts, not registering guns, not getting driver licenses, and smoking in public.

The government will retaliate by increasing punishments with higher fines, longer sentences, and more draconian laws.

Americans might push back with sniper attacks on police checkpoints and terrorism.

As the economy dies due to debt and regulations, the elites will try to pump up the economy by nationalizing companies and outlawing private property and try to distract Americans by launching WWIII with North Korea, Iran, Russia, and China.

Americans will eventually end up in the concentration camps.

How many Americans will wish that they had spoken out against the police state earlier as they get pushed into the ovens?

Americans deserve everything coming to them.

How can Americans look in the mirror today without feeling shame and disgust?

Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.
