U.S. Debt Ceiling
Phat's endless predictions of a financial collapse in the U.S. may actually occur. Failure to raise the debt ceiling comes with dire warnings of catastrophe. The GOP may actually finally succeed in burning down our government and our society. Fuck them all!

Phat writes: The real crises will be when the majority of the world no longer trusts the US Dollar. OK, since you make this claim, what happens then? I have asked you this before. Describe the nature of this crisis and what exactly causes the majority of the world to no longer trust the dollar. We're all sick of your vague bullshit the sky is falling predictions.

Re: U.S. Debt Ceiling
Do you understand how govt debt even works? Nothing he has ever posted demonstrates understanding government debt or even general economics.

Re: Gold Bugs and Political Thugs
Phat in Message 280 writes: The entire issue is one of trust. If the world-at-large loses faith that the debt that they hold in treasuries and other assets cannot be repaid, the result will be a collective dumping of inflated US dollars back on our country. OK, so by "collective dumping of inflated US dollars back on our country" do you mean they are buying something from us "with inflated US dollars" or do you mean they are sending shiploads of U.S. currency and dumping it in our harbors kind of Boston tea party style? Can you clarify?
Phat in Message 280 writes: Most sources whom I trust say that it wont likely be an outright collapse but, rather, a hyperinflationary (or perhaps even deflationary) scenario. Nice prediction covering all your bases...according to Phat sooner or later there is going to be some kind of economic disaster. I would say the most likely event will be directly caused by those fucking idiot GOP in the U.S. House of Representatives that are going to intentionally cause the United States to default on its debt for the very first time ever.

Re: How do we pay for trade?
Phat in Message 296 writes: And don't whine and blame the GOP for holding the debt ceiling hostage. They simply want to remind everybody that you cant borrow forever. Bullshit! The GOP voted more than $2 TRILLION tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and NOW they refuse to pay for it.

Re: How do we pay for trade?
Kevin McCarthy's House Republicans are refusing to pay for the tax cuts they voted in, by threatening to cause the United States to default on it's debt (not raising the debt limit). That's who I mean by "they."
Yep, and the Republicans ALWAYS raise the debt MORE than the Democrats when they control the Whitehouse and/or the U.S. Congress. Now when a Democrat is in the Whitehouse they are screaming for unspecified spending cuts and are threatening to cause a default while ignoring the specific cuts in Biden's budget.
Phat in Message 303 writes: Once the rest of the world catches on that they won't get paid back, the Dollar is toast. And the only reason the rest of the world won't get paid is if the Republicans refuse to raise the debt limit. This also means that no federal employees including the military will be paid, no Social Security or Medicare. Those fuckers are campaigning for the Democrats! This is all for show...the republicans haven't even got a fucking budget, you idiot!

Re: About Investing in Gold (Gold is now a what-wing "conspiracy"?)
What makes you say that?
My post was about investing in gold. Why are you replying about Bitcoin?
No, EvC was not saying this. Are you perhaps trying to say that someone posted a message at EvC saying this? Where is that post?
I did not mention conspiracy theories or the people who promote them. Why are you replying about this?
Again, why are you replying about Bitcoin?
This is unintelligible.
Why are you replying about this? No good deed goes unpunished.
