And since we were already at 12 trillion in debt...they didn't actually have the money to do the bailout. So they just printed more. Just like they do every year when Congress raises the "Debt Ceiling.
The "Debt Ceiling"...what a FUCKING JOKE. It was passed into law a couple of decades back to STOP the govt. from spending too much.
Instead they simply raise it twice a year and keep right on spending and printing money. And if ANY politician tries to say "No" to raising the debt ceiling...then they are accused of "shutting down the govt."
And now we're closing in on 20 TRILLION dollars in debt.
That is how Washington D.C. operates. Double talk and bullshit.  |
Holy Fuck! We are over 100% of GDP. Folks, they need to crank up the printing press, or we go bankrupt. It is that simple. We will never ever grow our way out of this.
Any candidate who is talking about military spending increases is an idiot. Bernie Sanders has no clue, and no way to deal with this at all. Hilary's has proposed tax increases. Sorry folks, but we need them and we need them now.
Any Republican candidates even talking about this? I have not paid attention to all of them.
