A million seconds is ~12 days.
1 Billion seconds = 32 Years.
1 Trillion seconds = ~31,600 years.
National debt $31 Trillion.
If you paid a dollar a second, it would take you 979,600 years.
Or if every American agreed to pay, we'd each have to stroke a check for ~$240,000

(this math was done when the debt was $14 Trillion
The Interest payments ***ALONE*** on our $31 trillion in US debt exceeds what we spend on the Defense Department.
Stanley Druckenmiller (famous investor) on CNBC. "The intrest payments on the debt alone wil consume everything."
Here's what the media says:
Here's what Nobel Prize winning Economist Milton Friedman says:
Here's what pundits and propagandists say.
(This one in particular is heir to a banking dynasty so he know better...or something)
What politicans said:
Here's what politicians and media said in unison
More of what the media said
Well we dont know who to trust here....so what are companies and bankers doing and saying?
Smart guys like head of Goldman and JP Morgan...what is their take on things?
oh.
Maybe we misheard the politicians....let's check back in.
Wait a minute:
"if governments can just print money, why are we paying taxes?" 🤔🤔🤔
Why does inflation exist anyway?
oh.
Ok ok .....So how much inflation we talking exactly, is it *REALLY* that bad?
Let's check the purchasing power of $100 over time.
Ok, that can't be right, let's check another source...

With our personal finances, and with common sense, everyone knows you cant spend your way our of being in debt. You have to cut expenses. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and Keynesian economics tells bureaucrats that this is wrong and that you CAN spend your way out of debt.
"You can't Keynesian stimulate your way out of Cost-Push Inflation"
-- P. NAVARRO
So how bad could it get exactly?
In Oct2022 Charlie Munger (Warren Buffet's long-time investing partner) said exactly what others have been saying since late mid 2021. "The troubles that come to us could be worse than what Volker was dealing with."
So if smart people know this why are they doing this and not reversing course? 🤷🏾
We can't know their motivations but maybe we can look at what they did in past crises:
In 2008, 4 of 7 Federal Reserve Bank seats departed just weeks before markets started imploding.
We are in competent hands. Jerome Powell at the Fed and that loveable apsy gnome Janet Yellen at Treasury.... What's she been saying lately?
Oh here's something from 21March and then the very next day.
oh.
Ok so maybe they're just busy and overwhelmed... how bad could it be? Maybe smart hedgefund guys like Ray Dalio (creator of the largest hedgefund in the world) knows....What has he written recently?
ah crap
is there anything to substantiate Dalio?
ugh
If things were really not good, the media and politicians wouldnt outright lie. There would be some kinda indication they were obviously wrong.
The CEO of WorldVision was close to the Bushes. His son shot Pres. Reagan. WorldVision employed Jim Jones, John Hinckley, and Mark Chapman (Lennon's killer).
The gun Hinkley shot Reagan with in D.C. was bought years prior in Texas. Near Dealey Plaza, the JFK assassination site.
as each day passes I have the creeping suspicion that we've been taken for a ride. Project RENEWEDPATRIOTISM or something. the antagonists all hired thru central casting.
the 'culture war' issues were cartoonishly overt. the lies were so obvious. And our hero's character arc 🤯
Think: "Abbie Hoffman"-style performance art meets David Blaine "street magic" (aka Copperfield for the Youtube generation) performed as a grand geopolitical Reality TV show. And at the heart of it all. A star of Reality TV.
Surkov did it in Russia 👇
If you made a laundry-list of all the "slow burning" societal-ills you wanted to clean up, you could act as an accelerationist by boosting them to cartoonish levels. This would awaken an otherwise lethargic electorate into discourse and then "cleanup".
Why did the guy who would later head the CIA (Allen Dulles) and his brother (John Foster Dulles) who would later be the Secretary of State help the Nazis establish a bank beyond the reach of international law?
Why did the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain give Hitler 6 Million British pounds at the Bank of England?

"freedom of speech is a wonderful invention, it is a bleeder valve to get rid of dissent in a relatively harmless way.
BUT
if freedom of speech mobilizes people so that their concerns become actionable, then things begin to happen"
Isn't it weirdly coincidental how this anonymous amorphous group of "boots-on-the ground" activists coincides with the ideology of a nameless-nationless cabal of 19th, 20th, and 21st century "BIG THINKERS"?
It's probably just pure coincidence.
