“Debt Agreement” Fails to Address the Problem – Inflation to Push US into Default

The debt deal has passed Congress, but it solves nothing. Is there really a difference between defaulting on your debt or paying it back with devalued currency?

The latest debt deal in the United States has been hailed by some as a last-minute effort to avoid a catastrophic default. But the reality is that this deal solves nothing, and the US is still on track to default by inflation.

First, let’s examine what the debt deal actually accomplishes. The agreement raises the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion and includes some spending cuts. However, these cuts are far from sufficient to address the long-term debt problem.

In fact, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the deal will only reduce the deficit by $2.1 trillion over the next decade – a drop in the bucket when compared to the $14.8 trillion national debt.

Moreover, the spending cuts are not likely to take effect until 2013, which means that the US will continue to rack up debt in the meantime.

But even if the spending cuts were more substantial, they wouldn’t be enough to prevent a default. That’s because the US is facing a more fundamental problem: inflation.

Inflation occurs when there is too much money chasing too few goods. And that’s exactly what is happening in the US right now. The Federal Reserve has been printing money at an unprecedented rate to fund the government’s borrowing binge. As a result, the value of the dollar has been steadily declining.

This decline in the value of the dollar is an insidious form of default. It erodes the purchasing power of American citizens and savers who rely on fixed incomes. And it undermines the confidence of foreign investors who hold US debt.

Inflation is a form of default that is often overlooked, but it is no less damaging than an outright default on debt payments. It leads to higher interest rates, which further exacerbate the debt problem. And it can trigger a vicious cycle of inflation, as prices rise in response to the devaluation of the currency.

The debt deal may have bought the US a little time, but it has not solved the underlying problem. Inflation is going to continue to eat away at the value of the dollar, and the US will eventually default on its obligations – either through outright default or through erosion of the value of the currency.

To avoid this fate, the US needs to rein in its spending and balance its budget. This will require tough choices and painful sacrifices. But it is the only way to restore confidence in the US economy and prevent a default by inflation.

    China could destroy America with giving up bonds and stopping exports to America.
    They've chose instead to work with Russia to slowly destroy the dollar.

    The Government brings in more than enough money every month to cover the interest payment and the military, social security. They used the default excuse to scare the dumbed down electorate. The Government defaulted in 1971 when they took us off the Gold standard. If America pays its debt, it wouldn't need to keep raising the debt ceiling.

    After decades of irresponsible spending and unconstitutional growth of the Federal tyranny, this Nation's fiscal state is, in a word, hopeless. Projections now of $50 trillion in Federal debt, so the big question is "when is it all going to come crashing down?". If past history is any indication, those responsible (and that includes those who never stop demanding "more" from the Federal Government) will never be held accountable. I can see the day when the Feds just take (steal is a better word) a big chunk of the savings of citizens who have tried to live responsible lives and replace those funds with even more empty promises. It would not surprise me if the Feds mandated that all retirement funds invest a percentage in U.S. Bonds with about as much assurance of safety and reasonable return as Bernie Madoff gave.

    They will try to confiscate silver. Which silver would they go after is really key here. Legally anything from the U.S. Mint would be least likely. I think 90% pre-1965 is safest then peace and Morgan silver $1 coins. ASE would be second safest. Please think about this before purchasing because it's very likely a coming storm will be in our future!

    The debt can never be paid back though…. every dollar created is owed back with interest….. the very first dollar created was loaned and another dollar had to be created to pay the interest on the first dollar. Slavery is the only way to pay it back…. debt slavery. We are the asset backing the debt because they know we're good for it.

    For months we heard Biden pushing the ‘raise the debt ceiling’ but it does nothing but add more debt. Then the RINO reps caved. Insane. Stack on.

    I agree with the premise of an Inflationary decade.

    US poverty is $12k annually
    US Median is $25k annually

    I'm a 7%'er based on my census dataset, and I've increased my silver purchases to once a month. I order between 6-8 ounces.

    Expenses at 62%, savings/investments at 37%

    They (government) has no right to your property and possession if obtained legally
    If that happens then the government should fall

  14. veritasfiles

    No, I prefer the shorter produced videos. The live-streams are always super long. A.I. will bring about an age of delusion and deception that is almost impossible to comprehend. If you don't already know the truth and have physical books, you will be totally deceived in the future by the level of sophisticated and utterly convincing lies that will be purveyed to the public by way of A.I.

    every month like clockwork, the NFP has big surprise numbers and gold and silver prices tank and stock market rally. This might go on for another 2, 3 months until the unemployment actually gets really bad.

    Didnt tge Government, Biden & Yellan, steal the pensions of us military, post office, teachers, to bame a few, then give it to Ukraine for THEIR returements funding & the military? This has added to tge massive unfunded debt liability , increasing inflation and therefore pushing up the prices by devaluing the USD again (& again & again)

    If the central Banksters are able to stabilize the US economy for a few more years, I will not be surprised.

    The “debt deal” is definitely a HUGE disappointment! It’s not “Just kicking the problem down the road”, it’s actually making the problem worse.

    The format of the livestreams are good, but you definitely need a better camera that doesn’t continue to auto-focus so often.

    Yes sir, I lost all my precious metals in a tragic boating accident, along with my guns and servers.

    BS – Wall Street, Corporations, Dark Money, and Oligarchs control our economy. Tax them at the same rates the working pay.
    The debt ceiling was raised 3 times and the debt was increased by 8 trillion in just 4 years under the GQP and Trump.
    Nixon started the fiat currency.
    Repeal Citizens United and vote in Public Campaign Financing and watch the cockroaches scatter.
    Stop using SS contributions in the General Fund, that's why the SS balance is low.
