The Unites States is backed into a corner that it can not get out of. The only way this country can get out of it's debt obligation is to hyperinflate or to default.
Why do I think this? Well instead of talking about paying off debt, our politicians only talk about cutting the deficit.
If I make 50k per year and spend 70k for decades, will cutting my spending to 65 do a damn thing to get me out of debt? NO!
In a broken democracy like this it is damn near impossible to take away peoples entitlements once you give them to them. So hardly any spending cuts can be managed without putting people up in arms all pissed off that uncle sam pulled the government tit out of their mouths.
Also, contrary to the popular socialist belief in this country... higher taxes do not mean higher government revenue. What it does mean is: business owners cutting costs (jobs) to get back out of the red, now all of a sudden people are out of work and: 1. Not paying taxes any more. 2. on the government tit. Ultimately entrepreneurs, responsible for most of the tax revenue in this country, will look for a way out.
The government is stuck, it can't squeeze its subjects for more revenue and it also can't make the necessary cuts. Do you think we will hyperinflate or default? If you think it can't happen, you are WRONG!
