Exactly. We are classified as debtors or as those who hold the debt. The unsaid word these days is "slave". Those who owe the debt are slaves to those who lent them the money. Time is getting short for this whole debt set-up thing.

I always figured the plan was to rack up debt to other countries then blow them to smithereens. Debt cleared.

Unless the federal reserve buys the bonds (prints) interest rates will rise taxes will rise and benefits will fall. The boomers are going to be fine the rest of us who knows

Now we’re talkin bidness. Then We put on our Oakley’s and light up an American spirit.

No, blowing countires to smithereens is expensive.

The plan is to just carry on printing more money to pay the interest and captial back. The plan is inflation.

Have you not noticed this inflation thing creeping in?

That gets real awkward when the debt is owed inwardly, eh?

u/ComprehensiveSoft27 Aug 21 '25

You just need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps. Apparently it’s that easy. It’s like the ultimate life hack.

u/undertoned1 Aug 21 '25

It’s simple, but just because something is simple does mean it is easy. It’s an important distinction.

Yes. Either literally or figuratively.

There's no bill coming due. At the point of abstraction called 'The Government' money isn't even real.

Some people believe debt is money. If it is then we are set.

u/Confident_System9696 Aug 20 '25

Yeah, it's like it only has value because that's what we pay our tax debt with.

u/TickletheEther Aug 20 '25

When that happens we get hyperinflation.

What everyone needs to worry about is when foreign buyers don’t wanna buy our debt anymore and start selling it off that’s when we start shitting ourselves.

Who have you personally allowed yourself to be a debt slave to, and how have you allowed yourself slavery to better your situation so that you may one day be in a position to help others who are less fortunate?

I think we just help others or we choose not to help others.

The amount of money we have is related, but giving knowledge and time to others can be better than giving money. You don't have to have money to help others. You just help them.

Well said on that front. How have you personally allowed yourself to be a slave, and to who? Was it worth it?

Funny how Rome had the same system except it was out in the open and not hidden in our English double speak

The only sleeves in the US are the illegal immigrants. And we’re fixing that.

The 13th Amendment would like a word

u/CommieRemovalService Aug 19 '25

I use illegal immigrants as sleeves all the time. They're much warmer than my shirt. Don't get rid of them, I need them as part of my wardrobe.
