So we have a chance to be together, after all.

I like points 1-6.
For point 7, I'd just through them into an Occupy camp with a
Scarlett Letter.
I would throw them into a giant meat grinder and feed them to the dogs.
The problem with that scenario is marshal law would probably never be rescinded once power is given its rarely given back
Well yeah, that was why it was a joke. In a perfect world it would work, but in a perfect world we wouldn't have traitors and idiots running around in an endless free-for-all.
Martial Law is already here with the NDAA anyway. Supposed authorities can arrest anybody on suspicion of terrorism charges and people love it. It's a failing state and in another 100 years the history books will say why did nobody see it coming.
Although, I suppose the one bright spot for us is that we can then spend decades throwing a pity-party, building settlements and stealing land wherever we want. I choose Northern Italy and Tahiti, please. Maybe we can create a Gaza around Milan.
Sadly, this is never going to happen.
- There will be more too big to fail banks
- More QE
- Finance debt with more debt
That's more likely the future case.. not so surprising, though.
Of course, that is the solution for everything.
I meant that more on a smaller scale, for Australia it's mostly okay but yeah for the US it's not. But the thing is there's like a 99.9999% chance the US will never pay that all back so it doesn't really matter anyway. 40-50% of the debt is owned by other countries...
Wrong, we can pay it back easily. All we need to do is print money. And then everyone else will have to make-do with our debased currency. Maybe the Chinese can cook up some mighty egg rolls with that paper.
Yeah well of course they can be a lot smarter with their money but no debt is frankly a dumb idea or one of misunderstanding.
A lot can be changed but still the US (and most countries) will run on debt. It's how the economy works really, by borrowing.
But that sounds like the Keynesian approach. Saving and investment is what should run the economy, not spending beyond your means. That's Ponzi Finance. Keynes never even would have preached that governments could run huge deficits during times of expansion
and contraction, but that is what folks like Paul Krugman purport, along with others who are really just faux-Keynesians. Honestly, calling people Keynesians is really an insult to Keynes, they're just a bunch of big government retards.
America needs to cut out the middle man.
America needs to cut out the banker man.
