No way forward for America

Every empire comes with an expiry date

@whowasthatmaskedman

Maybe it feels like trolling to you, because you keep getting tangled up in your own misinformed biases.

What I want is just some clear facts and honest answers.

When you blurt out how
"America was on life support with printed currency, Chinese manafacturing, and Arab oil" what are you really talking about? Is that an economic view, political, or just emotional venting?? And when you jump from that to " Bury the rotting body, America about the become a street hooker, there is no escape..." is that supposed to be a logical conclusion or something you pulled out of your horoscope?? Then you double down in comments playing bogus fear cards about how China or the Arabs will just stop shipping consumer goods or oil, without explaining how or why - or even mentioning that the US is now the world's leading producer of oil and natural gas.

As far as trying to lecture me about the difference between domestic commercial debt, and debt held by foreign creditors - I'm not sure that you really understand the relationship so please don't try.

You're entitled to your own personal feelings, and your opinions. You can believe that the world is flat, or in fire breathing dragons if that suits you. It's still a free country. But when you offer up something like this as a discussion based on facts, have some real facts and expect reasonable debate.

Otherwise it's just you telling everyone you're having a bad day. And if that's really what's up here, thanks for sharing and I hope you feel better soon ✌

Excuse me Mr. World Banker, but I see a thick cloud of smoke covering up a lot of information - and I think it's coming from your direction 😑

Since you care so much about numbers and balance sheets, how come you're not pointing out that by far the biggest share of US
government debt is domestically held ? :


Oh! And that terrible foreign debt held by all those evil overseas money lenders, just waiting to send us the bill and bankrupt poor old Uncle Sam? It's $7.9 trillion as of August 2024 - But that's only anout half of what THEY OWE US :


That's right. Just like other countries buy our debt, we buy theirs. We've been doing it for over 70 years. And right now foreign governments OWE US over $15.3 trillion.

So based on all this I'm sorry to say I just don't see a "way forward" for your worn out arguments. I'm sure you just wanted to entertain everyone, but try a different scary story.

Maybe sasquatch ? ✌

You better tell all the economic experts who say the US economy is leading the world that you want to set them straight. Or tell the energy experts that, while we now produce more energy than we use, we're failing there, too. Or that the average per capita income in America's poorest state is higher than the average per capita income in the UK and dozens of other countries.

Of course, what Trumpism will do to that, who knows. Even Musk has predicted "hard times" coming for the average American once Trump's in office.

The country was in despair and everything that is bad was called good and everything that was good was called bad. Those days will become history when Trump takes office.

I often wonder when the point is reached that other countries stop lending money and demand the principal gets paid....

AND WITHOUT OUR ECONOMY THE REST OF THE WORLD GRINDS TO A HALT...YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET BUCKO

Every empire usually collapses from within. That is now what is happening with the U.S. All the Chinese have to do is wait and observe from the sidelines and in due course pick up the pieces.

Meanwhile, in your own backyard -


So tell us all again how lucky you are that you're not us 😏

Some of us are in fine shape because we have Jesus with us. You could too if you would ask him to show you the way..

I wouldn't put it totally on the voters. The non-voters who are too busy being compulsive, conspicuous consumers -- buying all those cheap Chinese products they can't really afford; burning up that Arab oil in SUVs/trucks with low mpg for no reason other than vanity -- to pay attention to politics or economics share a bit of the blame, imho.

5 more years then:

Americans refused to tax their oligarchs and run their country. Let them be the apocalypse.

Trump (45,47) by a Landslide Mandate.

You people are awesome.🤣🍿

Trump won😂

I disagree. I don't think it was the fault of the American voters at all. I think the election was rigged and I think Trump stole the election from Harris. I mean, it's been done before and Trump could only agree.

Because the election was stolen from Trump by Joe Biden in 2020, that means that Trump was actually the legitimate President from 2020 to 2024.

This also means that Trump has already served not 1, but 2 full terms as POTUS which means Kamala wins the 2024 election by default because Trump wasn't qualified to run for a third time anyway.
