RE: The US Government Lost $1.2 Trillion In 2017 + $250 million per day since September 11, 2001
Interesting post, you do a nice job juxtaposing the financial figures with the war machine (always the biggest line item in the budgets).
I've come to the point where I simply fail to understand what all of these figures produced by the government are supposed to mean. There are no boundaries for creating money, spending money, allocating money, lending money, etc. How can there be any discernible meaning in a concept that has no concrete boundaries?
We live in increasingly strange times where money has no value, words have no meaning, humans are not accountable for anything and the politicians keep circling this bloody mess of confusion snapping up at anything that smells like opportunity. How long can this possibly go on for before the flow of the economy's lifeblood (its currency) locks up, people awake, and realize that they are playing a strange charade of human interaction. They are simply being goaded into using their time and effort to prop up a reward system that is designed to work against them. Nothing is real, nothing has any real value. I don't even mean to sound pessimistic, it just seems obvious at this point...what is the end game? How long can the powers-that-shouldn't-be use smoke and mirrors to trick people into participation in a neo-feudal society? What finally breaks a fraudulent system?
The debt itself is devalued by inflation.
A 20 Trillion of debt today is less than a 1 Trillion of debt in 1850.
Your comment is also undervalued. No relation to the undervalued mentioned before.
You people should learn to use bidbots.
Fiat cash does has value, it just loses it over time.
The end game is slavery, and it is already in place as you seem to be aware of.

Thank you for your comment @danielshortell. Two things:
1 - I think the average American doesn't seem to care (heck I'm Canadian!) about these issues. (They may only start to care after the meltdown/reset when their dollars are devalued by more than 40%). That's a harsh statement, I know. But who can prove me wrong?
2 - They are way too distracted by their cell phones and similar devices to even notice this debacle. Many more important fish to fry...
Very sad indeed.
yep @libertyacademy, I think a tiny minority of americans are aware of, and an even tinier minority are concerned by these issues. Most people go about their daily routines quite ignorant of much that is going on around them. And for many people, this label of "ignorant" that I'm using is not even meant to be disparaging. As you state, people are so distracted to even notice that this is a huge concern. We live is such a pointlessly consumeristic world that people become obsessed with trivial concerns of accumulation on one end of the spectrum (those with some disposable income) and those on the other end of the spectrum that are working multiple jobs just to pay the bills. In the end, neither of these two camps, on the aggregate, can devote or have the desire to devote any amount of time to understanding the dire realities that comprise the very foundation of society. This will not end well.
Thanks for your input my friend.
