i think mr simon johnson not only does not understand the situation in totality, but also does not realize the danger at the epicenter where he now stands

china can literally walk away from the 2 tril, every single dime, or just waste it all on chilean copper mountains, ice it on canadian oil sands, and fry it all up in australian iron mines

but america absolutely needs 4 tril, every single cent, and will continue to need more, then parabolically still more, exponentially much more, and finally, before the end-game full hardware zero-state monetary reset ("EGFHZSMR"), asymptotically still much more

and should usa default on china, uncle sam will absolutely default on his own relations, handing a forced-iou to mr simon johnson who would then finally understand

geopolitically team usa is in no position to play chicken, except to think and act and simply be a chicken

and even if team usa plays nice, i am not at all certain the outcome does not involve a EGFHZSMR

i suspect mr simon johnson will get educated

but of course, he may be the sort who can only read a message once it is tagged to his big toe, with self stretched out on a stretcher, sheet covering head, on ice

this is the trouble with paper money, in that for the earning creditor, it just keeps score, and for the borrowing wastrel, it is a mathematical noose

gold would have been better for all, because we would not have ended up quite this way, with digits followed by 12 zeros being thrown about like so much garbage

i am guessing that some understanding will be reached during the meeting in washington, and if so, we can look forward to quadrillion mentioned in the media and governments soon enough
