Ron Paul : The US Debt can Never be Repaid

reply to post by BlackJackal


I don't owe that money to anyone... My government does.
If they default on their debts, let the lenders come after Obama, Pelosi, Bush, etc. personally and lock them up.
I didn't borrow this money!

Your Government , on your behalf, did this for you.

Now Pay Up.

The average voter is clueless in regards to his or her situation and can only argue through knee-jerk responses, manipulated by the media that fuels the fire and confuses people even further. That's why America currently lacks consensus on the bail out plan; it's split between its corporate and public forces. Obviously the former will triumph in the end, since we're living in a democracy controlled by those forces, who by the way would love to confuse the public even further and distract it from the real issues--if not through consumerism, through sheer crowd psychology.

Just as the media fuels ethnic tensions between natives and minority groups, it fuels a coming economic depression by telling us that the world is going to end and that we therefore should withdraw all of our funds, stop consuming, building shelters in our garages and shoot any suspicious bureaucrats we see coming. The corporate hawks love it, because it gives them an opportunity to continue saving their own lives from private ruin, while The People lose big time, not just economically, but also culturally. We lack consensus on the most basic facts of why this depression is about to hit us, and perhaps most importantly, what we should do about it.

Most people who whine about the bail out plan in the media have no other solution to present. Ron Paul is an exception, but his policies presupposes the eventual death of the dollar, which means he wants to let it live or die on the market conditions. That would mean a very tough blow to the economy in the near future, but would relieve us of bad debt further ahead. A more pragmatic and socialist policy would be to pass this bail out plan, but also write off bad debt in that process, a suggestion free market enthusiasts protest for ideological reasons, which at this point is almost neurotic. America has acted according to realpolitikal guidelines when it comes to foreign policy and empire building, but when facing internal problems, it typically dries up like a red chili (to be fair, Europe is equally, if not even more neurotic, although it is certain to follow its socialist tradition). Hardly surprising. We need to fix our civilization as a whole before we can move on as a people. End the drama and let the rebuilding of our communities begin.

eerie Steve's way to pay off the national debt:

1. Soft drugs (taxes on caffeine and cannabis): Believe it or not, there are tons of laws like interstate commerce that will pay off the federal debt. A ten year interstate tax on cannabis, which doctors have agreed has lesser cumulative effect on the human body than caffeine, will generate a lot of tax revenue. Tax it to current street levels and there you go, it will pay for itself, let alone taxing the "roll over" of a declining tobacco industry who can be bullied into buying new machinery for hempf.

2. Protection: I am of the school of philosophy who sees crime as social outsourcing. We pretty much set tribe upon tribe in Iraq to win the peace, why not do the same with the Mexican Mafia and the Aryan Nation? Seize their property and use it to build new tax paying hot spots.

3. Decentralization: 9/11 proved cities are the hot spots for danger. It is time for America to make a return to the farm state which we are setup to be. Enough central utilities exist where we can cut off the radicals like David Koresh or Jim Jones to let them wither on the vine.

4. Indentured servitude: It is now high time where the baggage from a racists America hangs as dead weight on the US. Forget slavery. Much better avenues exist like making violent criminals indentured servants! Take a life, give a life in my book.

5. Assimilation of land: Face it. America has the high moral ground over every other nation now that Barak's president. Nothing will stop us. How easy would it be for the US to do something like "We are a protectorate of the Holy See now!", wipe out all our debt, and start up Manifest Destiny again?


Those are five scenarios which would happen before the elite in the US cede power before any of you teenage anarchist win. Period. End of story. I advise you to stop swimming against the current and become an adult or else the beatings will get worse.

Dr. Paul frequently upstages the rest of the DC-535 crowd in the area of intellectual prowess - it really it unconscionable that he has as little political capital in DC as he admits. To the folks in and around his district (about 5 miles from here) he makes a lot of sense. In the national arena, he's the brightest light ever to emerge from "bubba-ville" and that embarrasses some of his constituents. Hopefully he will be allowed to continue to serve the people in his district to the benefit of the rest of the nation.

Not on my behalf. I didn't consent to any of it.

Emperial powers expand untill they collapse. Just look at the fall of ancient Rome, that's what empires do. They destroy themselves from the inside out.
