Debt is now over 100 percent of GDP so that seems a bit scary. |
Date: May 16th, 2018 8:53 AM Author: Razzle-dazzle bbw Our debt is going to fuck us eventually. Only question is whether it will be 5 or 50 years from now (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3978155&forum_id=2#36060582) |

Date: May 16th, 2018 8:54 AM Author: dark galvanic jew bawdyhouse I'm not an EconMo remotely, but some day the debt doesn't matter. Although countries with a much higher national debt, like Japan, seem to be stagnant. I mean economically they're still doing "alright" but it's like in a stasis that they can't break out of to grow.

Date: May 16th, 2018 8:57 AM Author: Razzle-dazzle bbw You seem ignorant. Do you even understand how the US govt takes on debt? Do you understand what would happen if it just stopped making payments on Treasury bonds? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3978155&forum_id=2#36060598) |
|
Date: May 16th, 2018 8:59 AM Author: dark galvanic jew bawdyhouse Literally just said I'm not an EconMo, but what I have heard some people say is having a large debt is not as bad as one would think.
We can't default on the debt, obviously we have to pay it and we pay it to people like China, practically funding their military and social programs. |
|
Date: May 17th, 2018 7:36 AM Author: frum soul-stirring round eye We can and will default on the debt. We can’t pay it back, therefore we will default. It’s just a matter of when and how. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3978155&forum_id=2#36067453) |

Date: May 16th, 2018 8:56 AM Author: stubborn garrison It’s the unfunded off-budget liabilities that really terrify me. All those government pension liabilities from the 1000s of state and local governments. Together they are multiples of the Fed Govt debt.

Date: May 16th, 2018 8:57 AM Author: dark galvanic jew bawdyhouse This too. Ultimately it will require pain for everyone, meaning pension reform + higher taxes on a smaller workforce supporting an ever larger pool of people collecting benefits. Going to be painful.

Date: May 16th, 2018 9:34 AM Author: dark galvanic jew bawdyhouse Aka Japan's current predicament. Abenomics has failed, btw.
With that said, it's not like Japan is doing poorly, it's still rich and making money but it's stagnant. |
|
Date: May 16th, 2018 9:38 AM Author: impertinent violent cumskin pisswyrm Yes, because economics is based on fundamentals and not nebulous magic. Americans have this concept that the US will always do well because we're American and we're just that awesome. That isn't how it works. IRL, we are only doing as well as we are because we're fueling our economy with more debt every single year. Eventually, that will come to an end AND we'll go from taking it to paying it back. Imagine what the economy would look like today if we actually had to balance the budget and still made mandatory payments. As you say, basically Japan.
