We Did It! National Debt Now Exceeds $37 TRILLION!!!

It was obvious this would be the trajectory. Trump was never a fiscally conservative – or even responsible – sort. The things he wants done will cost enormous sums of money (as is the case with all politicians pipe dreams), and he cannot even fully commit to cutting of expenditure on crap he doesn’t want done. Not that he’d have the cooperation of Congress to implement such cuts anyway, as has been all to obvious for far too long.

This is one of the biggest reasons I’ve remained insistent the nothing will ever be willingly fixed by orderly means. The only solution is the chaos of collapse wiping out all the promises and obligations. Once the government collapses, the counterparty who over promised no longer exists, and all those suckling at the teat will instead be forced to suck eggs. Then it will be incumbent on the great minds who emerge from the collapse not to setup another government that will be so easily compromised and turned into a machine focused on graft. That may or may not pan out, but it remains the the only real chance we’ll get. Making any substantive correction within this current system is impossible.

No problem. Just tack on another 5% tariff on every import.

Well when the other countries decide its cheaper to sell their goods to Russia and the other BRICS nations Trump will enact plan D. He will reach Deep, Deep into our savings accounts, 401Ks, and confiscate all the privately held gold and silver. Then the massive gold deposits in California and Alaska will be strip mined like skinning a fat elephant. Oh and then its drill baby drill.
