Total U.S. Debt in one graph (NPR)

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

Our high cost of government is arguably the single biggest destroyer of our economy

High cost of government as in their expenditures being too high?

you have to park your investments somewhere and US treasuries are the safest thing out there

Yea, definitely. Bonds should be issued but the problem is that the FED should be an extension of the federal government, but now it is treated as any other private bank who's taking advantage of the interest rates that they help set.

Japan with 1.1 trillion. That's a lot of PS4's

no they shouldn't be part of the government.

 

[Broke Wave]

Yeah, because they are very relatable to the US.

How are they not?

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

How are they not?

the problem isn't the spending as much as how we spend it on stupid shyt.

like sweden or whoever doesn't really have to have much of a military because of us.

Not true... I've only ever heard Americans say this... what has America protected Sweden from since the cold war?

I guess we are only taking into account the time period when we didnt protect them... convenient.

My dude... I have no problem discussing things with you or anyone else on this forum but you literally only quote me and post an outraged smiley without writing any kind of rebuttal to what I've said... stop that son

Your comment just happens to exclude the U.S. military aiding all of Europe which is convenient...

The arbitrary time frame aside, side by side comparisons of nations dont really work for a host of reasons.

no they shouldn't be part of the government.

So they should be a private entity? You want a private bank to be in control of US's monetary policy?

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Not true... I've only ever heard Americans say this... what has America protected Sweden from since the cold war?

guess we're doing our job then.

like somebody else said already, we're comparing a nation of 5 million people to the governance of a nation with 315 and acting like it's the same. furthermore acting like america isn't the global leader on practically everything.

my nikkaaaaa preachhhhhhhhhhh

 

[CACtain Planet]

I Look at how everything was going better in the clinton years, thats my goat president

Your "GOAT" President was held in check and controlled by Newt Gangreenwich and his bands in the 104th Congress... their is no Budget surplus without the ReBloodlicans and Newt in those years.... Newt just might be the GOAT speaker

Congress has no control over the monetary policies and/or decisions that are made by the FED branches. So you would trust bankers, who has proven to be corrupt on all different kind of levels, to be in charge of deciding on how the market, practically, should look?
