Thats why its rare for me to vote for any candidate. I usually just vote for the intiatives and referendums and don't even bother filling in any dots for candidates. I will be making an exception next year.

who do we owe all this money to?
and heres a word about the germans and wheel barrels full of money. yes it did happen but has anyone here read "the rise and fall of the third reich"? if so it will explain the reason and it was pretty ingenios
basicaly after ww1 the germans were in so much debt that they would never be able to repay. when hitler took power one of the first things he did was to lower the value of the mark. by doing this no country in the world wanted to deal with that many marks so they forgave the war debt, hence ending the debt. so say that we are 9 trillion in debt and we devalue the dollar to where its only worth 1/100 of what it was that would now be 900 trillion debt. and nobody wants 900 trillion worthless dollars layin around.
In order to do a fair evaluation of the "national debt" you have to compare THAT to the GDP.

Not all debt is bad. It depends on credit worthiness. Otherwise you wouldn't have an entity that buy another's debt, because of the interest they get in return. It's a practice of restraint that financial institutions have no observed in the past decade or so, issuing loans that's bound to default. None the less, in terms of idealism, it should be backed by metals of value. One can argue that the US is a hybird of fiat and private currency, since the federal reserve is privately owned, by backed up by the U.S. Treasury.Quote:

But the solution is not to implement a gold standard. As you pointed out: we don't have close to enough money in circulation to pay it this debt off, is exactly the reason. It'd have to take decades of planning, and paying down debt to put ourselves in a position to make that kind of economical switch as you propose. To do it too soon will cause anarchy to reign.
I'm sorry, I don't want to live life, sitting on my rooftop, with a M-16.
That charts not looking too good for the red team.I've got a friend who is heavily into investing.He told me when Bush was elected to move all my investments to foreign investments.I didn't think it made much sense but now I see it does.Quote:

It is very important that everyone understands the ideology of the New World Order, Skull and Bones Secret Society, and any other evil imperialist power group the cowards embark. We might be fighting this very enemy one day.Quote:
