Why are you bringing up 2020? We got fucked by china in 2020. How about the three years before that? Forget about those?
That’s was the foreplay

The American economy was booming under Trump because Trump, and Obama before him, unloaded literally shit-tons of borrowed cash into it the system. Hence the deficit.
Saying that the US economy was strong under Trump, is like me calling myself a millionaire because I just borrowed a million dollars from a bank. Sure, on paper I might technically be a millionaire but I also owe a million dollars + interest to the bank. So, really I'm just in debt, and i'll remain in debt because I keep spending the majority of that borrowed money on new fancy fighter-jets.
The US economy is toast, most Americans just doesn't know it yet.

To be fair, most of the debt over the past decade is nearly interest free.
The debt is a problem but it isn’t going to sink the economy anytime soon.

It's true that the debt isn't the problem. It never was. America owns the printing press and the copyright on the dollar, so it can just print out whatever it needs.
The problem is you can only print so much money. And what happens the next time capitalism crashes like it did in 2007–2008? It'll be hard to set the interest rate any lower than it already it.
And there's gonna be a next time, that's a guarantee.

Wonder how many countries owe us a sum. What happens if we try and collect.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

1. Print currency to pay off the debt, lowering the relative value of the currency to the dollar. 2. Don't pay it, lowering the perceived value of your economy and credit to other lenders, buyers and sellers (and simultaneously making other borrowers not want to borrow from the US). 3. Pay it off with existing money in reserve or from collected funds, increasing the value of your currency relative to the dollar.
In every scenario, the US loses either financial influence over a smaller economy or relative value to a larger one, the ball is in the court of the debt owner because they choose their own adventure. Since debt is used more as a tool to stabilize trade (ie: you get more value by lending more rather than calling back a debt en masse), it's not likely a nation would call back such a large debt without lending more, outside of unique circumstances. Instead, the US prefers to borrow the difference from the indebted country at more reasonable terms than was initially borrowed out. Besides that, when you recall a debt before its term has met, you are incurring penalties. So it would only be done as a last resort.
Countries like China and Japan use their debts to the US and the debts the US owes them to leverage a devaluation to their own currencies relative to the dollar, because this allows them to keep prices lower for citizens while securing an outflow of production to the US and relative economies. China uses the opposite tactic with countries whom have smaller production economies and resources they want to acquire, lending to those countries in ways that establish control even though there is no reasonable expectation for these nations to ever reasonably be able to pay off the debt (basically they adopted the Western colonial model of financially influencing other nations for strategic value).

That's basically what institutions like the World Bank and the IMF are set up for: collecting debt from poor countries to give to the rich.
The main difference between America's debt and a poor country's debt is that the poor country has to pay it's debt, or else it gets a visit from the US war-machine.
This debt-collection by the first-world is what keeps poor countries poor.

A lot the debt is basically left uncollected in exchange for military bases and regional political influence. The same is true with a lot of aid.

I dont know shit about economics but this radiolab episode claimed that after the fed printed money for that bailout, the 'expected' increase in rate of inflation never actually occurred.

larry.fisherman said: I don't and have never kissed my kids because I think it's weird. I love my kids, I spend lots of time with them and I'm attentive and they always know I love them. Why do I need to kiss them? Some parents get pissed at the idea their kids need them to say "I love you." For good reason. Why would they need my lips on their face? The people defending Biden either got diddled as a teenager by older men and think that's fine *cough* or they simply choose to overlook the glaring issues with the behaviour. It's how he does it that's the problem. There should not be pictures of him with his hand eerily close to a little girl's nipples for a photo op. People with experience with kids know they don't understand personal boundaries the way someone older does. By that I mean, say a kid runs up to hug. Kids will put their hand right on your dick just trying to hug you. It's infuriating and annoying. Biden is the kinda guy to not correct them and say "It's okay they're just a kid." Meanwhile any normal person would react and deal with it. He clearly abuses the confusion, as no man should be grabbing both sides of a little boy's face and kissing him on the lips. A peck on the cheek, that I could live with. Someone kisses my kid on the lips and I'm going to invert their head into their own ass.
I guess I can see where you're coming from here, but it's still kinda weird to me.
Do you let your kids sit in your lap? Or do you feel annoyed/infuriated because their butts are near you genitals?
Am I wrong for kissing my nephews on the head at times? I'm suddenly questioning my affection for my relatives, am I part of the problem? I have so many questions...
Should I not pet, and kiss my cats anymore? Is that sexual too?
