Just pull some right off the top. And they gasp and see how evil that is.<br /><br />Yet, how many see that their American dollar has been reduced in value by 40-50% and realize that this is even worse than the gov just tapping your account for a one time 40% (You can remove your money and not give them another chance)<br />In the USA, you have no option, Your 2003 dollar is now worth much less than 50 cents and you have no way to get it back or protect it unless you put it to work making (risky) investments.<br /><br />Your dollar has not only been devalued but prices have gone up and portions have gone down, so you ever worse off.<br /><br />Ah, what if the dollar value goes back up? Prices aren't rolling back. They never have before generally speaking. Add in all the obammycare taxation that is going to really start hitting in 2014 and I triple guarantee you prices aren't rolling back, they will continue to go up.<br /><br />I'd rather pay the one time 40% and have a currency that is worth 100 years from now what it's worth today. <br />The EU can't print money like the US can and is doing. Well over 45 trillion since the 'financial crisis' started in Oct 2007.<br />Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-14819605601687519142013-03-28T10:05:18.010-07:002013-03-28T10:05:18.010-07:00Real definition of liberal = lies be us!

Plus the mistake of Keynes and many economists is to analyze economics without looking at the legal framework and other human criteria. Without mentioning the inability to consider return on investment. And that's why the experts don't have a clue these days. It's like climatologist looking at climate by only looking at what's going in the atmosphere without looking at the sun or under the Earth.<br /><br />You can try to keep spending in France but it won't work. It hasn't worked since Mitterrand in the 80s. Why? Because there's no incentive to create any jobs in France. It's too costly because of taxes that companies have to be paid on workers. And the wages are too high for people who work 35hrs a week and go on vacation 2 months in the year. Fix that first then spend money SMARTLY.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-73989464463312799162013-03-28T07:20:22.928-07:002013-03-28T07:20:22.928-07:00You and I could solve this

Fouts -- Ducky: Even the financially unsophisticated know that you cannot continue forever to spend more than you take in.<br /><br />Were the debt a static percentage of GDP, it would be a different situation.<br /><br />The debt continues to grow, and if the economy ever takes off again, the jig is up. As interest rates rise, service on the debt will consume a much larger percentage of the budget.<br /><br />----<br />Yup, you can't allow it to grow at a higher rate than economic output even in a low interest environment. True enough, wouldn't argue with that.<br /><br />But let's look at how we got here:<br /><br />1. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars were funded with supplementals and kept off the books.<br />2. The Bush tax cuts.<br />3. The housing bubble and the collapse of the American investment banking system along with the subsequent bailout.<br />4. The stimulus<br /><br />The smallest was the stimulus which probably accomplished the Keynesian goal of spending to promote growth.<br /><br />However, we still haven't done much about the other three and have added a health insurance program that continues the insanity of for profit health care and does nothing to lower costs.<br />In other words, The Black Messiah is just an extension of Chucklenuts. A corporate pimp and hardly the socialist people claim.<br /><br />As a nation we can solve those issues but I think the problem occurs when we let the Pete Peterson crew take over. A parcel of poltroons who have no desire for reform but wish only to eliminate social programs completely.<br /><br />You and I could solve this but we'd have to get the fringe crazies on both sides to shut up and take a timeout.
