Money laundering. They give it to them, then those places give it back as contributions or whatever so that it looks legit. How else do you think these faggots become multi millionaires on 165k a year salary?

Bingo! We know it's about money laundering thanks to Biden's crackhead son. And these crooks in Congress knew it was out, that the American people knew their "foreign aid" was just laundering money back into their own pockets. Still, they wrote a ridiculous "Covid relief" bill that gave more money to foreign nations than to American citizens. Just, brazenly, right out in the open. It's unbelievable.

exactly this. it's embezzlement. this is one of the many on a long list of activities that are crimes if anyone in the general public did it, but because it's government, they're perfectly okay with it.

Mostly the federal reserve. So... unelected unaccountable bankers print money, lend it to their "employers" with interest, and just love advocating for more spending so they can not only earn more money, but attain more power over their debtors.

Very much so.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

D.C. crooks are fleecing every bit of credit before the big crash to cash out on, just like they have done to many big legacy US companies. Borrow and bolt.

Specifically, America remains a good place to invest for comparative to outside the US the books and audits remain the most trustworthy. That's your answer. By getting taxpayer funds outside the US, our politicians can launder that money back to themselves to get rich. Every politician is getting rich from the cash register, left or right, and that's the big scheme no one wants to own up to so McConnel, Graham, Omar, and Pelosi cover each-others ass. They all have far more in common than with you, fuck you for asking about what they're doing with your money. They're your dick head degenerate friend from high-school who steals your shit when you aren't looking.

Most of it is actually backed by GDP growth, though they have gone a bit crazy with the money printers in the last year. The amount doesn't matter as long as it's backed by growth, otherwise it becomes hyper inflationary.

90% of money is debt. That's the secret. You deposit money in your savings account, the bank will use that money for loans. Effectively doubling your money while still giving you access to it. The entire banking industry is a giant ponzi scheme.

debt with negative interest rates.

Currency is no different than a loan and yet we are robbed with negative interest called inflation due to all the printing.

2
randomusers239874 2 points ago +2 / -0

Positive interest rates actually, otherwise you would be increasing value. Inflation isn't a bad thing btw, but it has to be controlled. Deflationary currencies like gold are actually worse overall as they encourage hording and basically seize the economy up due to illiquidity.

Please, Don't repeat marxism's vocab for them; don't carry their water. It's like calling marxists/Lefties "liberals" as an insult; you're not insulting them, you're giving them the exact cover-word that FDR re-defined to give them cover for their evil ideology---ie helping marxists with their smokescreen and devaluing the word/vocab which they are using, spreading their message.

Thus you're devaluing AMEN which is one of their goals with the word; and removing the meanings.

Focus & Discipline, don't help the commies particularly if you think it's "funny"... Pol Pot's killing Fields are not funny; nor is AOC's "lists". Commies are dead serious. You're words will decide

& Can't defeat commies by using their methods, words, tactics, worldview, etc.

I’ve been saying this since the last “stimulus”. I firmly believe this is the bankers last push to crash the USD and usher in their digital currency, enslaving is all forever.

I personally believe covid is serving as the catalyst to keep us frozen until they’re ready/the crash happens.

Because we're being prostituted as the World's Piggy Bank™ by our "leaders."

Honestly, I'd have no problem helping other countries by giving them aid, supplies, or military help if needed, but WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY THAT WE NEED TO DEAL WITH:

  • Millions of Americans are going hungry, yet Bill Gates own a quarter of all farmland in the United States, presumably to feed starving kids in Africa, when we have enough of that going on here.

  • Congress is giving billions of dollars to fight corruption in absolute shitholes like the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Sudan or Uganda, when our leaders are probably among the most corrupt in the world.

  • The vast majority of products sold in the United States are made in foreign countries, including steel, which is essential for the military to defend our country. Where is almost all of US-used steel made? China, our most dangerous foreign adversary.

  • As OP said, we are $27 trillion in debt, and yet we are giving money to shithole countries to help THEM pay off THEIR national debt. Literally WTF?

  • Millions of Americans are living in poverty (granted, the "poverty line" in the US is literally median income in the European Union, but whatever), so we should continue to cut taxes and deregulate the economy to encourage economic growth that would lift up everybody, especially the poor, just like President Trump has been doing.

  • NO MORE WARS!!! We've spent TRILLIONS of dollars in the Middle East, and what exactly do we have to show for it? Dead Americans? Yup. A more stable Mid East? Nope, overthrowing Saddam Hussein, and later Ghaddafi, sent the region to shit and directly caused the rise of ISIS and Iran. Lifting war-torn nations out of poverty? No. Making the US safer? Nope, jus the opposite, in fact. So who wins? The Military-Industrial Complex. Roughly one-fifth or one-sixth of the US economy (I'm not sure the exact number, but I'm pretty sure it's in that ballpark) is dependent on us being at war. So those in power, especially Congress, whose campaigns are bankrolled by these large defense contracting corporations, and the military leaders who leave the Pentagon and directly move to a seven-plus figure job at Boeing or Lockheed-Martin (the Revolving Door), continue to push these destructive and unproductive wars to enrich themselves. TREASON!

  • Finally, we should follow the advice of the Father of Our Country, George Washington. He warned against foreign entanglements, and he was right. The United States should go back to an isolationist foreign policy. As long as your country isn't threatening us, you do you! (I am not advocating for a complete withdrawal from the world. Some of the US's best work internationally is mediating disputes between other countries, as President Trump has so masterfully done during his presidency. This I completely support.)

Thanks for reading my TedTalk lol. Cheers!

It's cause it's funny money based on the price of oil- the debt is impossible for any other country to call in. I've heard rumors that a few federal agencies have run some war-games/simulations around a US-controlled financial system reset, and have plans in place (notice how the "great reset" ~6 months ago got shutdown pretty quickly and XRP is getting sued).

"The debt" is not a debt. It is just how much money is in circulation. However, debt to other countries is something different

It’s weird. When I was in debt I balanced my budget, made lifestyle changes/cuts, put my head down and got it paid off. Then I was happy to resume fiscal charity (was still happy to donate my time even when in debt!).

Why we don’t do this for our country I don’t understand.

to make payoffs for those nations support for helping them steal the election and to fill their own pockets through overseas foundations. Look, they are trying to bankrupt our country and let the Great Reset occur. That's going to mean millions will lose their homes, no food, etc. You have NO idea how bad the Great Reset is going to be. The Chinese Yuan will be the global currency, not the dollar.

For those of you new to the scene, there is actually an answer.. These decrees come directly from the UN in regards to 2030

21. The new Goals and targets will come into effect on 1 January 2016 and will guide the decisions we take over the next fifteen years. All of us will work to implement the Agenda within our own countries and at the regional and global levels, taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities We will respect national policy space for sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, in particular for developing states, while remaining consistent with relevant international rules and commitments. We acknowledge also the importance of the regional and sub-regional dimensions, regional economic integration and interconnectivity in sustainable development. Regional and sub-regional frameworks can facilitate the effective translation of sustainable development policies into concrete action at national level. 44. We acknowledge the importance for international financial institutions to support, in line with their mandates, the policy space of each country, in particular developing countries. We recommit to broadening and strengthening the voice and participation of developing countries – including African countries, least developed countries, land-locked developing countries, small-island developing States and middle-income countries – in international economic decision-making, norm-setting and global economic governance.

45. We acknowledge also the essential role of national parliaments through their enactment of legislation and adoption of budgets and their role in ensuring accountability for the effective implementation of our commitments. Governments and public institutions will also work closely on implementation with regional and local authorities, sub-regional institutions, international institutions, academia, philanthropic organisations, volunteer groups and others.
