The Debt Scam

Millions, billions, trillions! These numbers get thrown around without any meaningful context. So here's where it's at for Y'all:

The national debt today is 39 trillion dollars.
That equates to $114,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in the US.
That equates to about $5600 of yearly interest payment for every man, woman and child in the US.
That interest goes right straight into the pockets of the investor class. They love it!

This will lead to just another economic collapse, where the investor class will buy up businesses, homes and assets for pennies on the dollar.
The rest of us will get fucked.

After WWII the national debt was about 120% of GDP, about the same as today. By 1974 that number was reduced to 23%. This period was also the fastest expansion of the middle class in the history of this country.

We could do it again if our government were not owned lock-stock-and-barrel by the fat cats. Democrats and Republicans are equally at fault for this.

We need to be wiser this time.
