You think America is not going to default on its debt ? AgentApple Send a noteboard - 11/05/2016 04:54:13 PM

You think the US government is going to shrink down enough to pay.... how much is it now ? Or the US will "grow" out of debt ? You know it's not possible by now.
What's wrong about being upfront about it and tackling it head on ? It will hurt less than if this bubble pops on its own accord. Or so I believe.
I'm pretty sure if someone was willing to let the US default, they would suffer politically, but don't you want someone who will think long term instead of kicking this can down the road ?

Trump and Sanders voters are different sides of the same coin. Anonymous2000 - 09/05/2016 11:32:36 PM 773 Views
I don't think that I can stress enough that I prefer Trump to Sanders. Tom - 10/05/2016 12:54:31 AM 788 Views
He's hardly the first on point 3 - or very different from Sanders in that regard. Legolas - 10/05/2016 07:07:33 AM 957 Views
You seem to default to the Economist's position quite often Tom - 11/05/2016 09:38:58 PM 879 Views
Well, great minds think alike and all that? Legolas - 12/05/2016 12:24:25 AM 810 Views

And you don't think doctors and lawyers should be licensed? Tom - 12/05/2016 03:53:51 PM 718 Views
Doctors and lawyers, yes. Hairdressers or florists, not so much. Legolas - 12/05/2016 05:56:23 PM 1011 Views
Your point on trade barriers is highly misplaced. Tom - 12/05/2016 07:03:05 PM 706 Views
I agree that free trade is less crucial to the US than to many other countries. Legolas - 19/05/2016 06:22:19 PM 769 Views
And do you know why we make so many trucks and SUVs in the US? Tom - 13/05/2016 07:52:31 AM 780 Views
Because you insist on driving in them even when smaller cars would suit your requirements fine? Legolas - 19/05/2016 06:36:29 PM 753 Views
I have zero knowledge of the tax code. Ghavrel - 19/05/2016 03:22:47 AM 813 Views
Both terms imply error. Tom - 19/05/2016 05:15:20 PM 801 Views
Not errors as such - but suboptimal outcomes from a society-wide point of view, yes. Legolas - 19/05/2016 06:28:50 PM 764 Views

Of course it's possible. Legolas - 11/05/2016 06:29:31 PM 899 Views
