They lie about the amount of the deficit when the governments own web site

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/current

Shows that we are on a track for a trillion dollar annual deficit.

And if the US government had to use GAAP, as I do - the deficit would be substantially higher, and contingent liabilities would destroy the balance sheet.

Where do we wind up?

I wish I knew, but this article gives food for thought.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-13/guest-post-we-will-be-told-hyperinflation-necessary-proper-patriotic-and-ethical

from the link

"Like previous hyperinflations throughout time, the actions that produce an American hyperinflation will be seen as necessary, proper, patriotic, and ethical; just as they were seen by the monetary authorities in Weimar Germany and modern Zimbabwe. Neither the German nor the Zimbabwean monetary authorities were willing to admit that there was any alternative to their inflationist policies. The same will happen in America."

I am an old fart. If in fact I live as long as my expectations are, I expect there will be some form of resolution of these issues in my lifetime.

So many people get caught up in liberal vs conservative, repub vs demo, and I would hope that more people become aware that it is all about money and our monetary system.

Our lives and futures are being determined by unelected officials that represent the moneyed interests.

Two solutions, quit electing democrats and republicans or a meteor strikes DC during the state of the nation speech.

It would be a shame to lose all those monuments, but well worth the loss.

Ah, wise you are. A powerful Jedi some day you will be.
But beware the Fox Side. Cloud your mind with fear and hate it will. And once down the Fox path you follow, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Triodes,,,

Hyper inflation is not likely to happen here,,,,,

We are the only Economy that can print as much money as we want with minimal inflation,,,

Because, The Dollar is the Reserve Global Currency,,,,,


The sky is not falling ,,,,

P.S.
would you prefer that Elected Officials like Pelosi or Barbara Lee be in control of our currency policy as opposed to a prof. Economist ?

Not much in the way of fear and hate here.

More like looking at reality.

Mankind has at various times prospered and/or suffered as change has occurred.

I don't know how all of this will eventually play out. However, changes are already happening and more changes are coming as things continue to play out and evolve.
