Avoiding Default and Worldwide Depression

[Moksha]

The Democrats could avoid this upcoming problem if they would end Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and the Department of Education for starters.

This is a perfect chance for Republicans to injure America and bring it into goose-stepping compliance with MAGA wishes.

They’re not going to default. All them Republican congresscritters like pork too much. What is this, #78 or #79 on ‘times we’re definitely going to default’ now?

What do you mean depression? This is the third year of the great democratic socialist economy we're seeing, Obama's third term and the will Jimmy Carter. We've saved humanity from that awful bat generated virus that could have happened anywhere. This helped save the planet by reducing CO2 emissions from those selfish bastards driving to work each morning. We've saved the dollar by creating massive inflation that according to Veritas has benefitted the majority of Americans and other citizens of the world. We've torn down the border with Mexico that has allowed massive wealth to pour into the USA. We're finally paying the necessary $5 million in reparations to all who identify as black. We'll march on Moscow and topple the Putin regime within a decade after many trillions of dollars are spent. We've successfully stolen a democratic election through the power of the deep state and used the FBI and IRS to punish and plunder from those who refused to agree with our politics. And now you think that missing an interest payment on an infinite and eternal debt with no chance of ever being repaid is going to send us into a worldwide depression?

ajax, every time I pass by a handicapped parking stall - or a cemetery - I imagine the struggles that you face each day, grappling with your life within your dystopian hell of famine, enslaved by poverty and sickness, with your freedom shackled so heavily by others.

I hope that things will be better for you, soon.

If we miss a payment, Ajax's gold might see a decent spike, he's got that to look forward to.

If we miss a payment, Ajax's gold might see a decent spike, he's got that to look forward to.

It’s so funny. All currency is based on trust. Wampum? Trust. You give me these beads, and I’ll give you this fish. Precious metals? Trust. You give me this paper money and I give you this coin - or in Ajax’s mind maybe in the end times someone will fork over a can of corn for his shiny metal. Paper money? You put this paper money in a bank and they’ll hold it for you and let you used digits to buy this or that conveniently. Digital currency? You give me this hyper-crypto-code so I can buy cocaine and plutonium on the Dark Web.

It doesn’t matter what the medium is unless we give it value. Ajax just took a huge step backwards trying to claim his mistrust of federal reserve notes while probably holding a certificate that claims he’s the proud owner of 5lbs of gold. Now he has to get some small time broker to send him real gold, if he ever calls for it, instead of just finding a Conservative investor who accepts and uses currency to do the same thing he’s trying to do with an inert substance.

Amazing.

There's an episode of South Park where we get a glimpse inside Cartman's mind. It's pretty much what I suspect is happening in ajax's head as well.

The work requirements for food stamps is obviously scaring the living hell out of Moksha. Do you realize Biden just agreed to that Moksha?

[Vēritās]

Work requirements are already in place. The Republicans calling their proposal "work requirements" is disingenuous. What they're really proposing is making it nearly impossible for people to get help. Because that's today' GOP, the antithesis of everything Christian.
