The Best America can Hope for

The best thing we as the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers can do for ourselves as we look to 2023 figure things out is to get ourselves prepared for what we know is on the horizon. We're definitely on the knife's edge of Decline both Foreign and Domestic, the point is to mitigate whatever the damage that'll come with that.

• We cannot expect Government to solve the very underlying problems that it created to begin with. We certainly cannot expect Government to make anyone whole when the same US Government cannot even balance its own checkbook or secure its own Borders. There's hard work that's going to have to be done to get the United States and its Citizenry out of the Economic and Financial cesspool that's come about. The manufactured Coronavirus Pandemic, the 2020 Roll of the Dice (aka Election), The FTX Scandal, and subsequent Recession has reminded Taxpayers of this fact. There aren't going to be anymore Bailouts from the Government, We The People have to roll up our sleeves and bail ourselves out by doing things the Old Fashioned way and hard work.

• We need truely healthy Free Market Economic and Monetary Policy so American Taxpayers and Consumers can be able to take full advantage of the benefits and keep the Fruits of their own Labor, also able to grow and keep their Wealth.

• We need Foreign Affairs based on what the Founders understood to begin with; Trade, Commerce, and Honest Friendship with other Countries but entangling Alliances with none. A Foreign Policy that Talks, Negotiates with, Trades with, has Cultural exchanges with. We never use Economic Warfare or any Warfare against any Country without a Constitutional Declaration of War from The US Congress first! We treat other Countries the way we ourselves want to be treated. You can't bark about Human Rights when you don't practice it yourself.

Seasons Greetings to all...
• Most importantly, we must have a Limited Constitutional Government that does away with the so called Nanny State. The less Government we have, the more Freedom the People have. The Government that governs least governs best...

No one wants to fess up and admit the truth that the United States Government IS bankrupt in every way possible, the Bubble Economy has burst, more Pyramid Schemes (like FTX and Celsius) are imploding on themselves, and the Political Indentured Servants on Capitol Hill played their Constituents, Taxpayers, and Consumers like Violins...


You cannot Print, Spend, nor Bankrupt your way into any sort of Prosperity. Our Creditors are also the final judge of that too. We have a $30+ Trillion Debt Cesspool, Interest Rates increase that “Realized Debt”. Well over $100 Trillion is composed of “Unrealized Debt” which the United States is obligated for the future such as Government Pensions, Other Government Benefits, Entitlements, and Unfunded Liabilities. Tax Revenue has been $3.5 Trillion a year and US borrowing is about $1 Trillion a year (plus Interest due), about $4.7 Trillion a year is spent with NOTHING left over. There's something called Math!

Our Creditors (China, Japan e.g) seem to think we can pay back the “Loans” based on US Treasury Bonds, Bills, and Notes with 30, 20, and 10 year maturities. They're backed by “the full Faith and Credit of the United States Government” which means the Government’s Power to Tax its Citizenry, Businesses, and Corporations. When Creditors stop believing in the US ability to repay and the US Dollar itself, No One in their right mind will buy US Treasuries and we'll be left to rely on sky high Taxes and runaway Inflation in one way or another...

The time is now to prepare yourself, I myself like to and rather be an hour early than a minute late...

@Broache73 People that invested in cryptocurrency deserve to lose their investments. That is no different than the tulip bulb hysteria in Holland in the 1600s. It was an obvious scam from the beginning.

@Broache73 Absolutely correct and I have been saying this for years.. As for China and Japan continuing to support the US, its because they would lose a market their own economies depend on if they admit the Emperor has no clothes.. However China is currently engaged in removing the $US as the worlds reserve trade currency, which is what is keeping the US economy in play globally now. They have cooked up a deal with the Saudis to discontinue the "Petrodollar" and replace it with the Yuan. Once that takes off the $US will be monopoly money outside the US. Think Phillipines Pesos..😷

@Broache73 You mean prepare yourself by posting conspiracy theories on the Internet, spreading fringe rhetoric and misinformation under the guise of research, and using an assumed name to present a series of "the sky is falling" messages under the umbrella of "It's fine for everyone to have their own opinions; I just would think everyone would rather be prepared?"

@Broache73 The system demands debt for a number of reasons.

1. It allows for lower taxes.
2. It provides a guaranteed rate of return that the stock market doesn't.
3. When foreign countries buy our bonds it takes money out of their economies and strengthens ours. If they spent that money in their own countries they would be far advanced than they are.
4. It reduces the chances of war with certain other countries. China buys American securities; Russia doesn't. We are more likely to go to war with Russia.
5. If the system collapses the government can simply renounce the debt.

@MarkPaul
The US Government has been conspired against the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers...

Why else would they pass the Patriot Act with only 15 minutes to read it when it takes 20 hours to read?! Why else do we have the NDAA?! Why else have the Corrupt Politicians still kept secret the real reason behind the Kennedy Assassinations?! Why else did they outlaw the ownership of Gold/Silver until 1975?! Why else did the CIA keep the Bay of Pigs situation secret?! Why is that the American Public isnt allowed to know how much of our Sovereign Debt Saudi Arabia holds?! Why is it that 53 cents of every Dollar collected in Taxes goes to the Pentagon?!

If you really want to talk about Conspiracy Theories, You and I could be here ALL DAY. None of what we're discussing and talking about is an accident or a coincidence, you and I both know this. If you want to be offended, that's on you, but George Carlin had it absolutely right; IT'S A BIG CLUB AND YOU AIN'T IN IT!

@Broache73 Why don't you tell us how Russia and Israel spend their money?
Broache73 · 46-50, F
What difference does it make that Russia and China or if Israel are spending their Resources on their own Infrastructure, Belt and Road Initiatives through Central Asia, hoarding Gold Reserves, getting the Nordstream 2 Pipeline online, or even strengthening their Markets with respect to Goods, Services, and Energy?!

These are the very policies that the United States Government should be pursuing right now. We're doing nothing of the sort which is why we're utterly Bankrupt Financially and Economically. The Political Indentured Servants on Capitol Hill that you yourself voted for aren't about to be truthful or honest about any of this, since they know there's going to Hell to pay. Not only for being honest but also for how they helped to contribute to our downfall.

You know the Old Saying; Don't shoot the Messenger...

@Broache73
Gold has always been the Money of Kings, and Debt is always the Money of Slaves
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Broache73 That statement is perfectly true. And it does make the point that gold is more of less pegged to real value. As the price of gold doubles, so does the price of many other items.. Clearly demonstrating that the $ is being diluted..😷 ..
