RE: Critical Mass: 17 States Now Disobeying Feds, Will Grow Hemp Despite It Being Illegal

I think we are going to turn the corner on the deficit sooner than the MSM predicts, their estimates are based on an assumption that GDP will be no where near 4%. It's not real money, the national debt is not like an individuals debt, we can't print money.

Sort:  

"It's not real money."

A key point. The USG can't print real money anymore than you or I can. You're ignoring the elephant in the room if you think that doesn't have real world consequences.

A cursory examination of recent history reveals numerous examples of how printing doesn't fix national debt problems. Start with Weimar Germany, and end with Venezuela.

We don't want that 'fix'.

The USG can't print real money anymore than you or I can.

Well, that's demonstrably false. Are there any examples of American currency being worth zero?

Those are examples where countries have printed money irresponsibly.
