PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yes. The hard right young gun who was too woke for Trump..I used to be afraid he would gain traction. There are two answers to the Ryan conundrum. First . He is technically correct. Because America itself is more than broke right now and living on credit.. Second. None of it matters until the bill arrives. Which may sound pretty stupid if America was a household or business looking to keep functioning. But that is exactly how things are. Social security, Medicare, and those Nuclear Subs, F35s and Supercarriers are all being bought with IOUs to Japan, China, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world. Great as long as they keep pocketing the IOUs (Treasury bonds) and dont call for payment in full.. But these notes are getting harder to sell and more recently the Fed has taken to writing IOUs to itself by buying itw own notes as well as insisting that US banks and Pension funds buy more ot them. So what?? Well in a decade or two, when you return, your 401K and pension fund will be stuffed with these IOUs, which no one will trade for anyhtring of value. Imagine if I gave you a small bag of bottle caps every month and told you that was your Social security payment..😷
