No one is ever going to repay much, if any at all. Instead, we will keep overspending and then hyper inflate the economy and nominally repay debt with worthless "money". A few years later on down the road, lenders will forget what happened and will start pumping money into the U.S. again. Works like a charm for the rest of the world. Will work for the U.S. too. It is only just a matter of time- many years out...

So you actually believe in free money now followed by hyperinflation destroying the economy and a national bankruptcy.

Do we want to go with that plan and call it good stewardship?

I don't feel like going to work. Maybe I will, maybe not. Right now I'm going to have a cigar and head for the hot tub.

I say: nay.

All a balanced budget requirement does is to simply offer justification to politicians to raise taxes because of their unseemly spending habits.

It is easy to "balance" a budget with other people's money.

Plus, as in WWII, the US may need to go into debt to pay for...well...it's very existence.

It would probably be much easier and wiser to round up all of the socialists, Marxists, Keynseans, and hardcore modern liberals and toss them into the middle of the Pacific.

Problem solved.

the way out of the financial crisis and the no jobs is for the government to stimulate the economy
until we have increased GDP, tax the rich who have stolen their money from the rest of us, special deductions for corporate jets my asss, not until every child goes to bed with a warm full belly.

Many of the kids who are dangerously obese are on any number of government-funded nutrition programs.

I'll never forget the Nickelodian special I watched with my sons where they profiled some kid whose mom was a diabetic, on disability, and was receving free school lunches, foodstamps, and the like.

They pointed out that sometimes he only got two meals a day, and he had to go "hungry."

The only problem with this little view into desperate lives of poor people in this county is that the kid was something like 40 lbs overweight.



Your point being, Rick?

Oh yeah, that special tax-break that people got for private jets? Well, that was rammed-through by Democrats in 2009, I believe, when they had total control of the House, Senate, and the White House.

So...um...are you really sure you want to pick that scab there Rick?

No, I don't believe in free money now. And, this is not a plan. If it were, I would not consider it good stewardship. It is just what I inevitably believe will occur in the future.

I can work with that.

I do not believe Americans or American politicians have what it takes to make hard choices to establish fiscal responsibility. What is going on right now is just an act for the cameras. The IMF and the bond credit rating agencies are hinting at that as well. The EU, China, and Japan are also now chiming in on the debate.

Ultimately we will have to have forced austerity from outside (probably foreign) creditors to force us to live within our means. I do think when we reach that point national bankruptcy and a breakup of the Union will need to be up for discussion.
