economy works b/c of spending, money must be constantly printed to feed the spending machine, rising debt = growing economy, until inflation takes effect.
sovereign debt is a meme. they can keep adding imaginary digits to their imaginary debt ledgers without consequence. this pops when WWIII breaks out, not a second before.
printing money is not printing goods and services.
printing money is siphoning purchasing power from the people that produce goods and services to the people that print money.
nope this won't go on forever.

intro thread this morning
>printing money is siphoning purchasing power from the people that produce goods and services to the people that print money.
It's only siphoning purchasing power if people don't beat inflation. Since the people that produce goods and services tend to become the 0.0001% (see Bezos) thus beating inflation, there is no issue. So it can go on forever so long as the average normie is blissfully ignorant to wagecuck forever.
when it pops we will just have a world war, wipe out our debt, and then start the process all over
Gross debt isn't very important, only debt to gdp. A billionaire might run a million dollar deficit one year, but that's peanuts to him. Worry about proportions not absolutes.
The US deficit is concerning, given that they're pumping money into the economy when they should be taxing. It makes no sense to be running such high deficits when things are going so well (thanks Trump). Still, who knows, things might work out.
DESU nobody can predict the future and you're an idiot if you think you listen to people who say they can. Read about black swans and so on. We don't really understand how the universe operates, we can only rationalize with hindsight.
no
When do I dump? I have 17k in stocks and 2k in USD
If the rate of inflation continues to grow extremely fast but the amount of spending does NOT, then eventually $21 trillion won't be shit and we can pay it back easily.
In other words, we print more money.....but we do it REALLY fucking slowly. That's literally what we're doing right now.
I thought every dollar issued is a dollar of debt to the central bank. Am I wrong?
Bezos doesn't produce really anything. Amazon is a service that sells goods produced by some other country because the USA makes jack shit
Quantitive easing
Nope, Burgerland is doomed. The main reason America can run such massive deficits to fund the upkeep of our crumbling empire is because the dollar is the world's main reserve currency. Once it loses that status to the euro or yuan in the future America will no longer be able to run this deficit and we will no longer be able to fund our military that enforces the world neoliberal order on poor countries around the world. Then, with the help of a new communist superpower China, the masses of the oppressed third world workers will rise up, overthrow their bourgeoisie US-backed puppet governments and we will achieve world socialism and eventually world communism.
USA actually inflates at some of the highest speed in the world it's just that other countries are so retarded that they pull our money out of circulation and hold onto it in treasuries. Fact of the matter is if all of these countries realize the dollar is a worthless pyramid scheme your country will go bye bye
No your not! Printing money is a meme!

>communist superpower China
Build those iPhones comrade!! *jumps off Foxconn roof and lands in suicide net* fuck those capitalist pigs!! *Buys Canada goose jacket and purchases real estate in Australia, Canada, and USA*
bezos doesn't produce goods or services. he was in the business of losing money until he developed a business where he hires producers and service providers, because of cheap credit and his ability to sell his idea to venture funds
t. brainlet that doesn't understand socialism with Chinese characteristics
So how does the central bank accumulate all of our national debt if they're not the ones issuing the money and lending it to our governments?
t. brainlet that doesn't even understand the point of communism
I guess being an overworked slave in a polluted hellhole like China where everyone is running scams to make a quick buck was the vision of Marx and Engels now or this is just damage control
China literally doesn't even have free healthcare hahahahahah wtf kind of socialism is that?
If you actually knew anything about Marxism you would understand Deng's intention. Marx believed societies went through different historical stages of development, capitalism being one of them. Deng argued that China was not developed enough to enter a socialist mode of production right away and that they had to build up their productive forces to accomplish this. Marx stresses the development of the productive forces as being necessary for achieving a socialist and eventually communist society. Deng used the free market reforms to encourage foreign investment to help build up China's economy as a prelude to socialism. Since Deng's reforms, China has become an economic powerhouse, and now Xi is beginning to turn China down the socialist path that was intended from the beginning. The market reforms were merely a means of building China up to achieving socialism.
China has free basic healthcare for the overwhelming majority (or 95%) of its citizens and they are working on having it reach everyone by 2020.
>Capitalism as a means to achieve communism
hahahahaha now that's the funniest joke I've ever heard. Good luck dealing with all of those Chinese CEOs who have no amassed a massive amount of power and capital producing lead paint toys for European children. I'm sure they can't wait to redistribute their lambos and won't just end up continuing to bribe the central planners and politicians and army to fight in their favor. Maybe a communist uprising works when 90 percent of the country is starving to death and getting bayoneted by Japs but unfortunately the rich are now too much of a powerful presence in China. Sorry retard
Unless you have a poor social credit score...
You're literally just fucking lying
eurofag here, social medicare is a joke, you end up paying more than private insurance in the long run and get the worst service possible.
thus why he said services. amazon does produce things though, including tv shows and movies.
>you end up paying more than private insurance in the long run and get the worst service possible.
Shhh. People can't rationalize that.
The CEOs ultimately answer to Xi and the CPC. Where do you think all the capital for China's massive infrastructure projects comes from? Xi has been curbing the influence of the billionaires in recent years. The USSR did a market reform right after the Civil War to rebuild the economy called the New Economic Policy or NEP. Eventually the government brought the NEPmen (people who made a lot of money during the NEP) into line after they served their purpose. Just because China has billionaires doesn't mean they run everything you fucking retard. If you actually understood Marx' theory of historical materialism you'd understand the development of societies from capitalism to socialism.
>muh European children lead toys
You mean the Europeans who force fed China opium for so long?
That's not production, those are also services. A restaurant is a service and food is a product. A television show is a service and a the components that make the television are the product.
>SPARROWS XDDDD
Shut the fuck up you literal retard.
You're literally just a fucking retard.

I don't care what your gay social democracy welfare capitalist country has. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is the future.
Cool so China is not communist right now is what you're saying how strange, comrade. But they will be soon!!!!! And it will definitely work it won't just lead to people neglecting property and a Mao style famine/purge again!!! Absolutely high IQ.
The British fed them opium but your stupid chink ass thinks the entire continent is Britain haha. If you hold such a grudge against people killing the Chinese maybe you should get mad at the communists that killed millions under Mao dumb fuck
>Just because China has billionaires doesn't mean they run everything
>This is what fake communists actually believe
Are you sure you're not just a capitalist? This sounds like a Drumpf talking point. Nobody should have a billion dollars on the back of the worker and these people will need to be removed from society and have their money taken from them for us to achieve communism
>Cool so China is not communist right now is what you're saying how strange, comrade.
I don't fucking care what a stupid, shit-eating right-wing retard like you has to say. You think you understand everything yet you don't even understand the first fucking thing about Marxism. You're just an assblasted Amerimutt who will get everything that's coming to him.
>your stupid chink ass thinks the entire continent is Britain haha
I'm not Chinese first of all, I'm white. I never said Britain was the entire continent. But the rest of the European major powers along with America and Japan invaded China and bullied them for decades. Just like the West and its puppets have bullied and enslaved countless nations all over the world. I'm just going to tell you that its not going to be that way for much longer. All the nations the West has pillaged are getting stronger everyday while the Amerilards shove hamburgers and Coke into their fat disgusting faces while watching the Kardashians. You morbidly obese degenerate pigs will get everything that's fucking coming to you, and I can't fucking wait.
>Despite this, public health insurance generally only covers about half of medical costs
>Be Chinese
>Get hit by car
>Can't pay the second half of your medical bill
>Die
>I swear I'm white!
>500 page cope of blaming Europeans for why China sucks dick and doesn't have free healthcare and why they're totally communist as they produce MacBooks on an assembly line
LOL
Can we get back to whether or not US debt spending is sustainable or not? You guys can start another thread about Communism with Chinese characteristics.
Many of my fellow socialists vehemently disagree with me on this point. The difference with China is is the state-capitalist system they have now was never meant to be permanent. It was meant to develop China's productive forces to eventually achieve socialism. China developed their own system and its working pretty well for them so I am inclined to side with Xi over some latte-sipping Westerner who has never been to China and doesn't understand the material conditions of the country. China is following their own path to socialism and I feel like they've gotten further than any retarded Western leftists have.
For a huwhite you sure do hold a lot of resentment for injustices committed against the Chinese. I have never seen anyone so angry before on here it's honestly pretty impressive.
Whatever Amerimutt. You'll get what's coming to you one day when the Burger and Coke machines run dry.
Yeah they disagree with you because you're retarded.
It's not just the Chinese. I'm pro-Russia, pro-DPRK and pro-China. The West pillaged and stole from both nations for centuries, among countless others. Now they're teaming up with the rest of the nations the West has subjugated to destroy the decadent hamburger empire once and for all.
>Hurr everyone that disagrees with me is a burger
Protip: I'm from the country that got you hooked on dope
*all three nations
Sorry, I added the DPRK right before I posted it.
Lol even better. Your US-puppet state will burn with the rest of the decadent West.
Why doesn't the government just buy a ton of bitcoins and pay off the debt when they make it?
And you'll still be a HAPA incel communist that will never get laid because white women don't like your little yellow dick
Guess I'm going to have to make a new thread since you retards have decided to argue about communism instead of the actual fucking topic. You guys really are Jow Forums tier.
Not an incel or a HAPA. I'm white and American and have gotten laid a couple times. I'm just your average Russophilic, Sinophilic American that hates the degenerate consumerist hamburger Kardashian culture that the West created and is attempting to push on every nation on earth at the point of a gun.
Cool now shut the fuck up about your ideologies and tell me when to dump before the economy takes the biggest shit in world history.
Yes it can. Just print 25 trillion coins LMAO
Then those 25 trillion will be pumped into estate and stocks rendering wagecuck salaries worthless.
I just told you my opinion on your question and the Jow Forumsfags came out claiming I'm an Asian incel. I hate Jow Forums and wish they would fuck off.
America has 10 maybe 20 years left as the world's superpower. The dollar is eventually going to get replaced by the yuan/euro. Learn Chinese and/or Russian and invest in the Belt and Road Initiative. That's my advice.
On this episode of "everyone I hate is a nazi!"
>dollar is eventually going to get replaced by the yuan/euro
RETARD holy fuck.
the kardashian shit is gross but tard have you ever been to china and seen their dumbass reality tv it's just as retarded just in a different way and chinese love being as gaudy and flashing money in the most obnoxious ways possible lmao you think theyre disciplined revolutionary warriors or something ayyy
No, you're a jackass sperging about ideology when I asked about US debt spending. Let's get back to the topic at hand.
Countries are already moving away from the petrodollar. We can't bomb everyone who tries to trade oil in something other than dollars anymore.
exactly, this teach your children mandarin
stupidest post i've seen in 5 years. the EURO? holy shit...
>DOLLAR IS INVINCIBLE BECAUSE AMERICA
Shut the fuck up retard.
marketwatch.com
That's just the side effects of capitalism. It's all Western-influenced garbage for the new bourgeoisie class. Most Chinese are hard-working industrious people who are ready. Xi is turning things around for the better now. Besides, China's little bit of Western-style trash comes nowhere near the level filth and degeneracy emanating from the mental toilet of America.
>LE EPIC RACIST MEME XDDDD
Go back to iFunny you faggot
If you guys couldn't figure out that no form of fiat is winning then you guys are literal fucking retards. Dumbest fuckers on this board right now.
Then what's winning you faggot? Your gay ass Memecoin?
Debt never needs to be paid off.
Individual bonds do, but they can be paid with the revenue created from issuing and selling new ones.
Its called debt rollover or smth.
The only thing that does need to be paid is the interest on debt.
You can also pay that by issuing new debt but you have to be careful, if you issue to much new debt people will be less willing to buy it, you will have to entice them by giving them a higher yield on the bonds you issue.
If you give them a higher yield though, you will have to pay more interest and thus will likely have to issue even more debt at even higher yields to entice even more people to buy your bonds.
This can spiral out of control.
The only line of defense to keep this from happening is selling foreign reserves (mostly consisting out of gold for the US and europe, mostly consisting out of dollars for the rest of the world) instead of issuing new bonds at higher yields.
In order for this to work those foreign reserves need to be substantial in comparison to your debt. This usually isnt the case so a debt spiral leads to a loss of confidence in the underlying currency with a massive drop (stag or hyperinflation)
When this happens, all of a sudden your foreign reserves become very valuable compared to your debt and you can stop issuing debt and start selling foreign reserves.
Even the sheer possibility of this can calm the markets.
See 1970's for the US, yields skyrocketed to 14%, but gold skyrocketed 25-fold till the foreign reserves of the US was 25% of the debt.
Figure it out dipshit it's already really obvious. Or you can keep trading whatever currency your using for more euros and yuans like the other guy.
You really think your memecoins will be worth anything when the world falls to shit?
>f-figure it out yourself!
You have no answer. It's going to be the yuan and you fucking know it.
lol this
you really think your ideologies will be worth anything when the world falls to shit?
My ideology is not starving. So yes.
Yes, because my ideology, Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, will be running the world by then.
Fuck off with this shit and get back to economic doomsday, please.
I'm talking about economic doomsday. For the US though.
I know what it is, but given how you're an obvious chinese propaganda shill and a huge brainlet, I really don't want to spoonfeed you anymore. By the way China was one of the first to use paper money and guess what happened? Shit collapsed.
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK GET BACK TO THE TOPIC
Tatcher pls, stay dead,
Thanks for this clear explanation
this will not pop without creating a bloody mess.
imagine the US governemnt tells the hard working american ppl to drastically change their lifes to pay the debt the generation before them created.
stocks crashing to 0
millions losing their jobs
far right / far left rising
someone will blame minorities for this
or ofc a good ol world war. it will be ugly for sure
he said no fucking shitcoins user

I never once brought up a shitcoin or mentioned any. Please actually read posts next time, who am I kidding this is Jow Forums nobody reads. Everyone just clicks on the thread and click bottom.
excellent, the chinkposters have all been shot and killed
I don't understand... The central banks are the ones issuing the money & the debt. The debt NEVER gets paid, the tax collected never pays the principal, just the interest only. Check out 'the grace commission'
For the money to be issued a debt is put on the accounting books, for every debt there is a credit. If you borrow from a bank, when you pay back the debt, its a debt to you & a credit to the bank.
Without debt there is no money! If all money is debt and someone comes along & pays that debt... 'money' aka promissory notes cease to exist
>you end up paying more than private insurance
While in USA
>$2500 just to get to the hospital
>$200k for a surgery
You don't know how bad it is in the states! UK fag here, lived in the states for time...we had one of the best insurance policies you could get.
Step 1 go to doctor - Pay a co pay
Get referral to see specialist
Step 2 wait for insurance company to approve specialist
They might refer you on but pay for co pay first
wait for approval for insurance company.
The Insurance company might no approve of all of what the doc things you need..gotta keep costs down you know.
Listen kid, you have no idea how bad it is in the third world! I could tell you horror stories of 'health care' system in the states with eye watering money paid for things YOU take for granted!

how can i long this chart with 100x leverage

>Most Chinese are hard-working industrious people who are ready.
Your average Chinese is a barely literate peasant.
So you're just some faggot running his dick sucker without knowing shit of what he's talking about. kys
China has over 40 trillion in national debt, nearly double the US.
Indians are much more creative and intelligent than the rest of asia, imo they shouldn't be classified as asian, it's an insult.
what the fuck are you waiting for?
waiting the bottom so you can sell?
