Bunnies, Bombers and Butter The welfare people and the warfare people control congress, appropriations, corruption and national policies. Implications are grim. If a nation subsidizes butter, it will get more butter. The U.S. and most other western governments subsidize welfare and warfare. Those expenses inevitably increase and are inescapable, like the mathematics of debt. The U.S. federal and state governments created a huge network of government programs, giveaways, entitlements and public assistance. The welfare people have increased the number and cost of those programs every decade. Giveaways will expand next decade when the U.S. elects a welfare-oriented politician as President. She will push for Universal Basic Income, Medicare for all, guaranteed jobs, free tuition, wealth taxes and more. The symbol for the welfare people could be the Easter Bunny, who distributes free goodies. The U.S. warfare people have bombed or invaded many countries and spent $trillions since 1945. The symbol for the warfare people could be the B-2 Bomber. SO WHAT? Welfare and warfare are expensive! The U.S. government can’t raise taxes enough to pay for welfare and warfare expenses, so the government increases debt. It borrows from future generations to pay for current welfare and warfare, payoffs, giveaways, and essential programs. IT WORKS, SO DON’T STOP NOW. Yes, it has worked, but at what cost? The problem exists because dollars are debt based currency, not real money. Funny (fake) money is easy to manufacture and borrow. The U.S. government is officially TWENTY TWO TRILLION in debt and has increased debt an average of 8.9% every year since 1913. Unfunded liabilities add another $100 – $200 trillion in debt. Dollars buy less as mounting debt sucks the life out of those dollars. Hamburgers sold for fifteen cents in the 1950s, and gasoline cost a few cents per gallon. The banking cartel and government devalued the dollar and stripped the purchasing power from existing dollars by “magically” creating new dollars. A LITTLE INFLATION HURTS NO ONE! Try selling that nonsense to a housewife buying groceries on a fixed budget. She knows better. Bankers, politicians, and the political and financial elite enjoy dollar devaluation and the resulting consumer price inflation. Those who make the rules benefit from ever-increasing debt. Devaluation of the dollar will continue until it can’t. Argentina lopped 13 zeros off their pesos since 1945 – thanks to massive inflation. But their wealthy are still wealthy. Neither the peso nor the dollar is a store of value. Got gold? The United States has 130,000,000 workers. To pay the national debt of $22 trillion each worker would pay about $170,000. They can’t and won’t pay those taxes. The math of U.S. debt does not work. Default on the debt and hyper-inflation are the choices. The following are clear:
CONSIDER:
I.Q. Test Questions:
Read: Holter – Crash Alert #2 Read: Christenson – Downturns and Financial Crises The mathematics of debt, increasing interest payments and fiscal and monetary nonsense are inescapable. The welfare and warfare people will demand larger budgets, more debt, and higher taxes. Bombers and bunnies are influential groups. They will get what they want – more warfare and welfare. We have been warned by sixty years of history. The sun will rise tomorrow as it will in ten years. Sunlight reflecting from gold and silver bullion will be more satisfying than watching dodgy pieces of debt paper slowly devalue toward worthlessness.
