The US debt will grow to double the country's gross domestic output in 30 years. This is "uncharted territory," economists warn.

I think it's well-charted territory, actually -- just look at South America. We're looking at collapse.

Federal debt will nearly double the nation's Gross Domestic Product by 2052 if it continues on its current trajectory, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office says in its economic and debt forecast released Wednesday.

U.S federal debt surpassed $30 trillion in February, and the most recent GDP data showed a decline of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022. GDP second quarter data is set to be released Thursday.
Overall, the ratio of debt to GDP is expected to get much worse over the next three decades given current spending levels and the cost of holding high levels of debt because of interest rates.

I don't... think that's real.

Harder and harder to tell with Senor Baloneynipples, though.

Twenty-two Republican attorneys general are suing the Biden Administration for stealing food out of the mouths of desperately poor children to force local schools to accept full-on transgenderism.

In May, the Biden administration announced that any school that participates in the federal school lunch program (which is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service) must allow students to use bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers and play on the sports teams aligning with their gender identity if they want access to funds for the program -- effectively holding money meant for ensuring student nutrition in exchange for compliance on radical leftist gender ideology.
Now, twenty-two Republican attorneys general are fighting back by suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture over that new guidance.
"We all know the Biden administration is dead-set on imposing an extreme left-wing agenda on Americans nationwide," Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said. "But they've reached a new level of shamelessness with this ploy of holding up food assistance for low-income kids unless schools do the Left's bidding."

Remember when Obama actually said that doctors used to deliberately drive up surgery bills by performing unnecessary amputations -- cutting off healthy feet in diabetics, for example? He claimed this in making his case for Obamacare.

That was, of course, a typically Satanic Obama lie.

But this isn't a lie:

Ghoulish surgeons admit cutting off the breasts of young girls -- 12-year-old girls, in fact.

And the left celebrates it!

A video resurfaced on Monday by anti-transitioning activist Chris Elston shows a group of Los Angeles pediatricians telling the 2018 Gender Spectrum conference that they conducted gender reassignment surgeries on children and adolescents. Kaiser Permanente gender specialist Kellyn Lakhardt tells the audience, "In terms of masculinizing top surgery, I think 12 is the youngest who has surgery through our program." Lakhardt adds, "We have had a few patients at 15 -- I don't think surgery actually happened until 16 -- that have had vaginoplasty."
Top surgery is a form of gender reassignment surgery in which a double mastectomy and contouring is performed to make the female patient's chest resemble that of a man. A vaginoplasty involves using male genital tissue to create the appearance of female genitalia, which is often accompanied by the removal of the testicles. Post-surgery maintenance requires a "lifetime commitment to aftercare" according to Boston Children's Hospital, as the body will treat this constructed "vagina" as an open wound, requiring patients to dilate the wound multiple times a day shortly after the surgery and then multiple times a week thereafter.
Another pediatrician at the same conference, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy of the Los Angeles Children's Hospital, downplayed the permanence of any surgical alterations to gender dysphoric children and adolescents, along with concerns about children's ability to make such a decision. "What we do know is that adolescents actually have the capacity to make a reasoned, logical decision," she said. "And here's the other thing about chest surgery: if you want breasts at a later point in your life, you can go and get them."

From a week or so ago: Tucker Carlson says Biden is cognitively impaired and unfit for office and relies on drugs to appear to be semi-functional and everyone in official DC and the media knows this and has known this for years and has lied and lied about it for power.

If you've seen that already, apologies. I've heard references to Tucker talking about this, but I haven't seen a long clip about it until now.

Democrats are complaining that Biden is showing no signs of "engagement" with the duties of his office and doesn't answer their phone calls.

Well, yeah: He's a senile invalid who has two good hours a day thanks to an Adrenaline and Adderall Stack.

Allies to President Biden are voicing frustration about the political operation inside the White House as the midterm elections draw closer and the president readies for a possible reelection bid.
The allies say the lack of a "personal touch" from Biden has left them underwhelmed, with calls going unanswered, simple requests lacking a reply and little -- if any -- proactive outreach from staff inside the White House.
"The most important thing is people just want to feel engaged," said a longtime Biden ally, one of a dozen sources interviewed by The Hill who say Biden needs to do more to build support for the party and for his own political prospects to successfully run for reelection.
...
Democratic strategist Jim Manley and other political observers said they were sympathetic to the logistics around the pandemic. Still, with Biden's approval ratings averaging around 38 percent, they say, the White House needs to do better.
"Given the president's approval rating, I'd think they'd be working in overdrive to conduct outreach to as many surrogates as possible," Manley said. "As far as I can tell, it's not happening."
...
The backlog of unanswered calls and emails can be so trying at times that allies reach out to outside advisers and other allies for help.
"I've gotten calls from multiple people who can't get their calls returned," the longtime aide added. "It's symptomatic of how the Biden team is run. It's very top heavy. You can't get a yes or a no. ... 'Are you going to do this trip or not?' ... They have donors they've known for years who don't get calls returned."
"They're not getting answers in a timely manner," the longtime aide added. "They're not engaging with the DNC [Democratic National Committee] in a timely manner or any other outside groups trying to help the president."

This is what you "fortified the election" to put into office.

You all knew he was senile.

Are you demanding they increase the dosage of his A&A Stack? Don't you think that would be... dangerous?

Again, I don't... think that's real.

Hard to say for certain, though.

Economically it was a shitshow from the start as the Confederacy was commodity-based and the North was the trade partner on which they were dependent. It rapidly devolved into hyperinflation, price controls, and seizure of goods. Had some bread riots too.

based on an answer to a pre-op interview question, which had a reasonable answer, my cancer surgery has been postponed over four months so that I can go through a series of extremely invasion, and in one case, dangerous tests, to prove that I will wake up from anesthesia. If I refused these tests, they refused surgery for the cancer. The final doctor to sign off looked at everything, shook his head and said, why did they do this to you???

Probably also why I sort of doubt the "pill" part of Tucker's story. Pretty sure they also know this party trick and stick a needle in his ass. He really could screw the pooch if they got lazy at this point.

124 MMT is uncharted territory, but they just print the money, they don't "service the debt" (no interest to pay).

If their (BigGov) spending causes inflation, they can use taxes to slow the rate of inflation -- make the people poorer, so they compete less with BigGov for resources. (sounds like perfect wealth redistribution and total control ... but at least debt is no problema, in theory)

"Put simply, such governments do not rely on taxes or borrowing for spending since they can print as much as they need and are the monopoly issuers of the currency. Since their budgets aren’t like a regular household’s, their policies should not be shaped by fears of a rising national debt."

Moki,
See if the docs will accept Evushield shots instead of vaxx. It is a monoclonal antibody used to treat Covid cases including the last variant but if you cannot take regular vaxx because of medical conditions then it has emergency authorization as a preventative for Covid. Two shot sequence works for at least 6 months of protection.

May have to go a distance to get the shot though.

189 The double mastectomies on little girls may seem bad and very ghoulish, but it's unlikely that they will have to deal with the tragedy of it for long, as nearly a third attempt suicide 7 to 10 years after transitioning surgery, and the FDA announced the gonadotropin releasing hormone drugs used as puberty blockers cause intracranial hypertension in kids and may cause blindness.

These people are modern day Mengeles.

When the burning times come, the men and women that perform these Frankenstein surgeries will be drug out of their mansions and have their breasts/penises (respectively) sawed off and sewn onto each other, sans anesthesia.

I have the C17 deletion form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia - about 30 years+ before folks normally get it

. And, while it's not currently curable, it could be a lot worse. If I had to lose the cancer lottery (and having lost both parents to cancer - colon and multiple myeloma), this one is not the worst to have. You get to do nothing til it goes absolutely nuts (b/c the meds only work so long...and see above - there is no cure), so it almost allows normalcy. Now, healthy lifestyle normalcy, but I don't mind that

!

It is the theorized cause of my food allergies, which I didn't get til I had the cancer.

214 The Leftists are not going to back-down on the Tranny stuff, no matter how many people are against it.

Tranny rights is the latest in the series of Civil Rights crusades the Leftists have used for the last 60 years to portray their political opponents as evil h8ters and stoke fear in minority groups to capture their votes and money.

Black civil rights started the crusades. They tried a Native American civil rights crusade for a brief period the early Seventies, but quickly recognized it wasn't going to work as they needed. So they quickly shifted to all-in on Women's civil rights. Black civil rights went on the back burner. The next crusade was gay rights. Then gay marriage rights. The current crusade is Tranny civil rights. The Black, Women, and Gay crusades have always continued at a low-level, and can be quickly made the Main Crusade of the Moment. (Trayvon Martin. George Floyd.) They need a new crusade every so often because the enthusiasm (votes and donations) of the media and the white affluent liberals wanes over time. Hispanic civil rights and CRT (tearing down white civil rights) crusades are in the mix but are on the back-back burners for now.

Posted by: Skip

And real estate is something like close to a third of China's GDP. Contagion is spreading to people withdrawing their savings from Chinese branch banks in Australia this morning I saw.

China's refusal to let people withdraw any money from these bankrupt banks is simply spreading the fear to other banks.

At least Cyprus simply took 20 percent off the top and had depositors bail in the banks.

I repeat, see if you can get Evushield monoclonal antibodies instead a vaxx. Given you have a rare cancer, you should be able to get the signoff to substitute that for the vaxx. Probably more effective too and it too has emergency approval for vaxx substitution for people with medical problems. Works for at least six months as a preventative from Coof (and possibly longer). It also works for the latest variant unlike other monoclonals.

I got prescribed Evushield to end long covid which it did apparently as bp, breathing, brain fog, and other markers have returned to normal. Still waiting on immune system tests to see if those have improved.

311 Doing a massive amphibious assault with no experience and no deep water navy war experience makes Russia's Ukraine excursion seem reasonable.

Dieppe, anyone?

312 Japan has had this high of debt to GDP for 30 years.

The Nikkei Index is lower now than in 1989.

So, look for the Dow to be lower in your retirement than it is now. Enjoy.

322 Taiwan recently admitted that it tested super-sonic cruise missiles disguised as anti-ship missiles.

They claim they can shut down all mainland ports and Beijing is well within range.

If they hit Three Gorges Dam...

Had not seen that but a country that excels in technology (and probably getting some help from Japan and Korea down low) is not one that I would choose to attack. Xi is being rather stupid if he tries to use Taiwan as a rallying point.

324 There's a major fight underway within the Democrat party amongst at least 3 factions.
- *biden loyalists (old school dems)
- Obama loyalists (socialists)
- "Squad" loyalists (commies)

Right now the socialists and commies are in open revolt against the old school democrats. Yet those old farts still retain most of the money, thus control. The Obama retreads understand this, the commies not so much.... yet.

325 to the Uniparty who are setting up the collapse of the dollar and economy. "You bastards. I'm getting kind of old to have to be trading labor for basic necessities in 5 to 10 years when the house of cards collapses"

And 'stock up on food water and ammo' is only good for a few months after a disaster. In fact most folks would be hard pressed to find storage for more than a few weeks of water. Those who survive initial riots and unrest are probably going to end up in a barter economy and god only knows what items might retain value. Art? Need a segment of folks that can afford it. Jewels the same. If things go really sideways I suspect only a tiny remnant will have resources to trade for such luxuries.

Gold and silver? Well historic tradition suggests they retain some decent value. Weapons and ammo? Maybe, but probably mostly just as tools for folks hiring themselves out as security. I don't see anyone hiring my clumsy, slow reflexes self for security. Life is just likely to become a hard scrabble for folks like me if we survive the initial chaos.

30 years ago, when the Japanese were contemplating assisting with the liberation of Kuwait, William F. Buckley wrote that we should loan them Justice Brennan to help them find a way around it.

Um, China would be blockading itself. As soon as the shooting starts all commercial traffic will flee the area.

335 Abe was pushing it and he got killed. Some believe that might have been a message.

On commercial traffic, the problem is that warzone insurance becomes astronomical if available at all. Also you would need a large stockpile of oil and other carbon sources such as coal before doing it. Something like the low key Iran-Iraq war in the Persian Gulf lasted a while with tankers taking hits. A hi tempo missile war added with submarines would make that look like child's play.

It doesn't matter.

Japan and Taiwan have a defensive aggression pact.
Therefore if Taiwan is attracted Japan's reaction will not be aggressive it will be defensive which the constitution allows.

344 At least Cyprus simply took 20 percent off the top and had depositors bail in the banks.

Posted by: whig at July 29, 2022 04:53 PM (CXr4y)

There is a rumor that Cyprus printed or created Euros without central bank approval and the haircut was the way of pulling them out of the system to avoid default or inflation.
And the depositors bailed out the banks after their friends got the full effect of free money.
