Just imagine what we could have done with the trillions and trillions of dollars they have pissed away.
They pissed it away on Iraq, Afghanistan, dotcom bubble, housing bubble, bailout bubble.
We had a surplus and they pissed it all away.
Now, all you see in the news is:
Empire dead
Dollar collapse
Zimbabwe
The end of america
Economic depression
Bankrupt nation
America leaves it's children and grandchildren with massive debt burden and no future
Interest alone on national debt will begin to be a drag on GDP
America will split up like the former Soviet Union
We could have preserved the nation and developed alternative energy with all of the trillions they pissed away.

Re: "Printing into Peak Oil"

"It appears to me that Saudi Arabia - its participation is essential - could currently be playing the role of a central bank whose currency is crude oil, backed by the country's reserves of crude oil in the ground. Through extremely opaque market interventions by investment banking intermediaries, they could lend oil to the market - financial oil leasing - against dollar loans from investors in oil, and buy back their forward sales of crude oil in order to support the oil price within their chosen parameters.

The outcome - which has the effect of monetizing oil in the ground - is very similar to the way in which some governments maintain their currency more or less pegged to the US dollar and illustrates the reality that oil is not priced in dollars: dollars are priced in oil."
