“America Is Going Broke…and Nobody Cares”

“America Is Going Broke…and Nobody Cares”
by Bill Bonner

“Last week, the plot did not so much thicken as congeal. There’s no changing it now – the cameras are rolling…the costumes are on…and everyone knows his lines. President Trump went further in becoming the first president independent of either major political party in American history.

Open floodgates: After having sided with the Democrats on the debt ceiling, he went back to the swamp to resolve the ‘Dreamer’ issue – the 800,000 children who arrived in the US as undocumented migrants and were allowed to temporarily stay legally in the country. Then, over the weekend, it was reported that the administration wanted to get back on the Paris climate change agreement bandwagon. The White House denies it, but it’s now clear that Mr Trump aims to be a whole lot less disruptive than he promised to be.

And now, with the floodgates open, the US national debt has surged over $20 trillion. Of course, we don’t worry about debt anymore. That is sooo 20th century. This is the 21st century. Debt doesn’t matter. What seems to matter are the more symbolic issues. The Dreamers, for example. It was OK for the president to betray conservatives on the money issues…but let him agree to offer refuge to hundreds of thousands of migrant children…and ‘conservatives’ are up in arms. It is further proof – if any were needed – that this comedy is going to turn into a farce…and end as a tragedy.

We’re going broke…and no one cares. Certainly, here at the Diary, we don’t care. People get what they deserve. Our job is only to try to understand what it is that they deserve…to anticipate it…and make sure we don’t get it, too!

Major crisis: On Friday, we went to Paris to meet with Jim Rickards. The ex-general counsel for hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management, CIA adviser, best-selling financial author, and Wall Street veteran told us that we are too naïve. A major crisis is coming, he says, worse than 2007. It’s coming on its own accord – a natural and inevitable consequence of the feds’ meddling. According to Jim, the authorities are actually looking forward to it…planning for it…and helping to cause it.

On that last point, we have no doubt. Their ham-fisted, pigheaded program is bound to lead to a crisis. Specifically, the problem that caused the crisis of 2007 – too much debt – was not resolved; it was made worse. The Fed, confronted with a debt crisis of its own making, did the only thing it could do – it lowered interest rates to encourage more borrowing. Now, there is more debt than ever. And the same people who caused the crisis are still running the banks, the regulatory agencies, the corporations, and all the other institutions that made the crisis possible.

Why were none of the problems corrected? We attribute this to simple self-interest: The insiders live on debt. Of course, they are always going to want more of it.

Cash ban: But this is more than a matter of chance, imbecility, and swinishness. There’s cupidity, too! The powers that be are setting us up for another big crisis because they want another big crisis. Why? ‘It was no accident that Congress passed that Patriot Act so quickly after 9/11,’ Jim told me. ‘They were waiting for it.’

A crisis is an opportunity. And in the next crisis – which could be days, weeks, or months away – the feds will further tighten the noose around our necks. ‘They’ll ban cash,’ says Jim. Jim knows the insiders. He knows what they know. And he knows what they don’t know. What they don’t know – and don’t want to know – is how to run an economy properly.

But they know they don’t need to know. Because the more they fail and the more crises they cause, the more opportunities they have to grab more power…and more money. That is what they did in 2008, for example.

Corporate profits – which reflect the real earnings of large American businesses – have risen only 2% a year since then. After inflation, they were more or less flat. But stocks have risen 10 times as much. The Dow, for example, is up 200% over the same period. How is that possible? Well, the Fed pumped $3.6 trillion into the capital markets via its QE (‘quantitative easing’) programs. Not into the consumer market. Not into Main Street. Not into the pockets of ordinary citizens. Instead, the money went to the big banks and other rich people.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, for example, got a bonus last year of $25 million thanks to this hustle. And he calls bitcoin a ‘fraud’!

As a card-carrying member of the ‘One Percent’, we’d like to pause briefly and offer a word of thanks to the Fed. Since 2008, the wealth of the richest 1% of Americans has soared. As measured by the S&P 500, it’s up more than 230%. Great for us. Thanks. But it’s all very well for the feds to use crises to take more wealth from the lumpenproletariat, and arm the local police with tanks and assault helicopters to keep them in line. Still, every elite eventually goes too far, every empire dies, and, in the final act, every jackass gets what he’s got coming.”

      How can you have so many traitors lady liberty of ill gotten gains?

      Let’s get this straight, America is not going broke, the U.S. corporation is broke. America as the nation states is not in debt.

      • merlgerl

        You find a way to separate the two and let me know how that goes.

        • Rockledge

          THIS.

          28 years of the reagan/bush cabal turning america into a fascist state has turned us into a corporate owned and operated nation.
          Which is the epitome of fascism.
          reagan turning the media over to the corporations by deleting the fairness doctrine, driving taxes sky high by bleeding the states dry, and flooding us with illegals was the beginning of Fascist america.
          Perhaps this even goes back to Nixon and his “price controls” and his NAFTA roots with his visit to China and attempts to “open other markets” which, after the huge advancements the working man made during the 60s, pretty much kicked the working man in the balls and put him back “in his place”.

          I am quite surprised that, after Nixon, reagan, both bushes/cheney and Obama, we aren’t being issued company script rather than dollars.

            It goes all the way back to the beginning. This country was created for those who would rule it.

            Bullcrap.

            “Dealing with The Jews requires a Jewish Primer on how the Jews talk and how they use certain words:

            1) “Fascist.” Jews call someone a fascist when that person prevents the Jews from taking control of the politics of a particular nation.

            2) “Fascism.” The political status of a particular nation that keeps the Jews in their place and out of power.

            “There is not a single instance when the Jews have not fully deserved the bitter fruit of the fury of their persecutors….We come to the nations pretending to escape persecution, we [Jews] are the most deadly persecutors in all the wretched annals of men.”

            – Samuel Roth, Jewish writer, Jews Must Live (NY,NY: The Golden Hind Press Inc., 1934) pp. 64-65

      Maybe america going broke is exactly what needs to happen.
      Lets face it, it is our money that corrupts the world.
      Now that we are losing the grip on the rest of the planet, in part because the petro dollar is soon to be dead, the rest of the world has the chance to break free of our imperialistic clutches.

        Don’t go full retard – the world is not ready for it:

        Britain and The USA are Bolshevik Jew Marxist states in all but name. Here are the top six Planks of The Communist Manifesto:

        1) A Private Central Bank
        2) A Graduated Income Tax
        3) A State Conditioning (Education) System
        4) A State Health Care System
        5) A State Welfare System
        6) Abolition of privately owned property through Agenda 21 and Sustainability bullshit!

        “Democracy is indispensable to Socialism.” – V. I. Lenin

        “Socialism leads to Communism.” – Karl Marx

        “The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communising a nation.” – V. I. Lenin

    • yes2truth

      No western nation is going broke includiing the USA because there is no money. Just mickey mouse digits (credit or debt notes) on a computer screen – switch off the computers and the ‘debts’ would disappear. Rothschild debt money banking is a Ponzi scam to end all Ponzi scams! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

      Start focusing on The Truth that will lead you to Eternal Life, not the meaningless Monopoly Money abyss of this life:
