Not so long ago some young 20 somethings complained that the grown-ups were letting the usa go too mulch in debt with a smile of be happy, don't worry as we will not take responsibility for this debt so that we can continue to live beyond our means, meaning pass the debt to the up coming generation of young kids. Seems this has happened for a few cycles now, and now it may be different if too many cards in the usa house get pushed all at the same time, as seems to be happening. Meaning its bad news and bad news aTime. The debt can only be hide for the next generation of folks to acquire and they themselves try and keep it passing on to the next generation if that place where it's stored in that deep dark corrupt corner of that room, where the political leaders doing the wishes of those who help them get re-elected, remains as a place in fact, but in fact if the usa house of cards tumble down then that room will just be a part of a pile of hurt, and that corner gone. If so, then the debt will be served not on a silver platter but on the lid of a rusted moldy filthy garbage can. Today's debt, being that of past generations will not be that can of worms, but the contents of the can which the lid mentioned above will be served to the public. From this we will feed and obtain a new standard of living. Eat from a silver platter, no more. The debt will now be served, on the garbage can lid. Question: Why is this bad news for the next generation, if the chain has been broken, that todays debt will not be transfered to them? Might it be that the next usa generation arrives into the usa job market where foreign ownership owns the business and industry and transfers any wealth generated out of the usa to pay off that debt still big on the books? or The debt the usa owes will be payed in full not by US dollars but by a transfer of ownership of the wealth the usa creates. Might be a security issue for prez bush if the tax revenue of today is cut by 1/2 or more, meaning its super power status will decrease as the money to fund it decreases. trouble trouble trouble but fear not Gata Bill and Company are fools the sky will not fall the US dollar will not fall the debt is aGood just ask Hutch or o49r/gold_tutor ak
