But before you asked, "Do I really need to go on?" you should have mentioned the one thing they do, vote. And they vote predominately for the Democratic Party. They vote for the politicians that promise them stuff. And while I have no issue with that motivation, I do have issue with not mentioning it, pretending that the poor have no responsibility for either the fact that they are poor or the results of their voting. The wealthy or well-connected have their methods of buying politicians and the politicians have their methods of buying votes. It is this system of corporate capitalism combined with buying votes with promises and handouts that is responsible for all the problems we have and it is irresponsible to focus on only one side of it. All politicians are guilty of it.Sean Bearlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737434687164437894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674274857743149367.post-32553254529601833452017-06-07T17:27:18.239-07:002017-06-07T17:27:18.239-07:00I just wrote a comment on the CURE page expressing...I just wrote a comment on the CURE page expressing shock and dismay at Star Parker's horrible attitude toward the poor, expressed today on Fox and Friends.

They had an available amount of money (which was still technically debt) to work with. They simply didn't max out the CREDIT card. We were still over a trillion in debt. Bill set Bush up for failure with several policies he enacted in the early 90's that essentially hit when Bush was in office and just before. The big mistakes were the racist Woodrow Wilson (Federal Reserve) and the crazy New (bad) Deal grantor, FDR.

The national debt is more than $80 trillion using "generally accepted accounting principles" and I see people making claims about intragovernmental holdings when a consolidation of the "on-budget" and "off-budget" would erase that entirely (any to/from accounts under a unified balance sheet). In that case, the so-called Social Security Trust Fund would be revealed for the fiction and accounting gimmick it is.<br /><br />To drag federal accounting into the 19th, 20th, or even 21st century, the basis of the Rube Goldberg system of federal accounting must change from the half sentence reference to accountability in the Constitution at Article I Section 9 Clause 7, a reference that is archaic and inadequate but nevertheless is the "pin" foundation balancing "the elephant" to form our rickety and untrustworthy so-called accounting system.<br /><br />Jim Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095666512160045569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674274857743149367.post-22238166412111949572016-10-27T01:52:09.572-07:002016-10-27T01:52:09.572-07:00I didn't attempt to verify the numerical accur...I didn't attempt to verify the numerical accuracy of the displayed numbers. The principal numbers look reasonably close to other sources.<br /><br />However, usdebtclock.org has two GROSS DISTORTIONS, which cause its main results to give an extremely misleading impression.<br /><br />First, it does not account for loans from one part of the federal government to another. These amounts belong in both the debt and credit columns. To treat them as though they are equivalent to other federal debts is accounting malpractice. The present value of intra-government loans is about 5 trillion dollars.<br /><br />Second, it completely omits all assets held by the federal government. These include the asset side of the intra-government loans (see above), and mineral deposits presently valued at tens of trillions of dollars. Total federal assets are likely on the order of 100 trillion dollars or more.<br /><br />If an accountant wants to lose his certification, all he needs to do is to prepare a supposed balance sheet with brain-dead errors like those on usdebtclock.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674274857743149367.post-54859936741786142222016-07-30T20:46:56.114-07:002016-07-30T20:46:56.114-07:00That info in your description of yourself is quite...That info in your description of yourself is quite fitting considering your initial comments at the beginning of the article,King Liberal Progressive Atheist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300927374471234824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674274857743149367.post-84989060363633558602015-10-23T00:39:58.894-07:002015-10-23T00:39:58.894-07:00So, the way they claim it works - is that you see ...So, the way they claim it works - is that you see the #s from the previous year - then the projected budget for year-end.

Even though it is credibility of the government, as the purpose here; it is the best source of consideration. Also, it can be argued likewise, that if they are accounting for that - it is undeniably a debt to be noticed. Here is my contention, am I the only one who recognizes that our own government is robbing us blind? Why are our annual wages, on average, decreasing in 14 years? How is each person worth such a high amount and yet, spending higher? Now from my own expenditures that number is way off. What is tipping the scales and expediating the average to such a huge extent? Here are some patterns that can't be ignored: Medicare spending vs. insurance company take in; Pharmaceutical revenue; and last but not least US unfunded liabilities...what on earth is that?

With a fiat monetary system it's true they may do that, but does everyone forget so soon the housing bubble? If you inflate the value of anything, even the US economy,it eventually receaches a point that the intrinsic value of the product doesn't match it's assigned value. That's when you get a collapse with a contraction that is devastating to the economy. Look at how government loans and subsidizes have distorted the cost of a college education. Market forces have to be brought to bear for real value to be determined. Magical thinking ends by age 8; there is no Santa Claus.

The real question is once the bulk of the baby boomers retire and the demands on Social Security and Medicare sharply increase,Will there be enough buyers of US debt? If the government doesn't borrow and seeks to pay it's obligation the US will become what George Will recently stated,'A retirement community with an army' because all government revenue will go for those programs. And to just print money to meet obligations would set off massive inflation because each dollar would be worth that much less. The only way to offset this would be to grow the economy at a matched rate. More value to hold value for the increased quantity of currency.
