Humm
So, when I graduated from high school in 1968, the national debt (USA) was just north of half a billion dollars, with a “b.”
Yes, I was allowed to graduate, and I assume all my fellow Cougars assumed my graduation was for the better of the school. Today, before passing BoneSpur’s “Tax Incentive for failure” the (USA) has a debt of well north of twenty trillion, with a “t.” Upon passing the current tax law, the (USA) debt will guarantee another Trillion dollars exceeding north. Simply because nothing is being done to pay off the debt.
Further, the Religious requirement to eat fish had tartar sauce poured on the sinful requirement to eat fish every Friday somewhere while I was in junior high or early high school. Religious/Economy 103.
Last week driving home from date night with our grandchildren I had to drive through a major gauntlet of homeless people (Reagan’s Children) in downtown Olympia, WA. There were no homeless people around Hawthorn (CA) High School where I ran track and cross country. There were no homeless under the overpasses I ran under to the ocean from the school campus along the railroad tracks. Hell there weren’t any malls either. One of the beech boys graduated a year or two before I was a freshman. But I digress.
Until we address the major players of sex, power, and money it will always be the wrong time for discussion as we must be sensitive to the victims. Adding to the mix are politics, religion and the village idiots. Sadly, we are all village idiots.
History is ugly when repeated, over, over and over. Economic failure brought the USA to its knees with the grate depression. Recently we were on the brink of failure agenda due to the elimination of I believe thirteen economic laws resulting in the grate recession. What version of grate depression/recession will 2.3 bring us?
I beleave the bigger you are the harder you fall. The bigger the debt, the harder the crash ~ Economy 410 “Economy of Hard Knocks.”
If I were China, I would pump North Korea up to egg the US on so that the USA goes broke. China, along with other adversaries own the US debt. Brake the camels back and all that money comes home to roost. We did the same thing to Russia; pay back time? Or karma? No nuc’s need to be fired and the fallout is the same. Are we playing into our adversaries hands? Economy 810 ~ “Economy of decline”
You are correct, none of us here will solve the worlds problems, let alone the US economy. But preparing ourselves might be prudent. At what point is prudent? I missed the big San Fernando, CA earthquake, back in the early seventies, by enlisting in the army and being overseas at the time. I do not have food supplies to sustain me if there is another quake like it now.
Just saying
