6 Weeks Left Congress

[Cu Math]

Source all that please.

And please, don't forget about the two longest depressions in American history during that time period as well.

Dont forget about the 11 reccesions since 1913, including the Great Depression idioto.

Recessions are normal parts of an economic cycle! Open a damn econ book and read!

[The Nuclear Fist]

I support a weasel-based currency and you should too! *nods*

Now you have to run for president and bring us to the weasel standard.

sigh* and this is why we cant have a nice country...

[Cannot think of a name]

Getting us off the gold standard helped end the great depression. Also, do you realize that gold is widely used as a material and so the price is unstable?
That's like basing the dollar off weasels. Nonsensical and something someone pulled out of their ass.

"Hey hey hey, what the fuck is this? Some hippy is trying to pass this ferret off as a weasel to pay his rent. What do you think this is, Humboldt?"

You have my vote

In 6 weeks (this is a rough number) from today, the US Government will be down to anything from 0$ to 50 billion (witch would last for less then a single day)

Congress seems to have few options

1. Let the government run out of money.

2. Raise debt ceiling (Nice way to say, we will deal with this later, when the problem is worse.)

3. There is no option 3 really, I suppose if worse came to worse the government could just start selling land,old military hardware,gold (assuming the gold is still there.).

Let the government run out of money. It will take the American government to slowly die to actually realize its in debt and it has to pay it. Raising the debt ceiling accomplishes nothing but larger debt down the rode. On the other hand, we could end the 2 trillion dollar war in the Middle East and sell off some military hardware. I am not too fond of selling our land though.

[Desocia]

And we shouldn't be so involved in the world like we have been since 1945.

While letting the government slowly die would bankrupt millions of government employees....finally someone sees the true answer to all this. How buot we make some logical cuts. Shif funding to things that need it and use whats left to cut the debt. However, the debt ceiling needs to be raised until someone finally manages to do that in order to keep the MILLIONS employed by the government paid

[The Nuclear Fist]

The US has always been pretty interventionist.

[The Serbian Empire]

Of course we should raise the debt ceiling. Debt is perfectly harmless as long as GDP growth is greater than debt growth.

The problem is that the debt is growing faster than the GDP growth.

[Jagalonia]

Not in the short term, but in the long term, with real money backed with real gold, we had the biggest boom in the economy one could imagine, yep, this is why you should not expect to see a guilded age with this rate the money is being devalued.

The gilded age was terrible, I'm not sure why you would want it back.

And source on Jackson's policies having long term benefits? I'm relatively certain economic collapse is bad.

No, no. Economic collapse is a good thing. Every country strives towards it.

So, what do you guys think the government should do?


Personnally, I think we need to end it and restart it.

Raise/eliminate the debt ceiling.

Actually, outside manifest destiny, which wasnt foreign as much as kill the natives, up until the world wars America managed to stay MOSTLY neutral. I mean, at least until December 7, 1941 we were at least trying/pretending

On the bright side, if we remove the debt ceiling, we won't have to worry about going over the debt ceiling anymore...

I was just joking

What about things like the Spanish-American war, then?

I admit that my plan was a little.... drastic. I'll have to agree with you, your plan seems less unstable.

It's like, everyone forgot about the Spanish American war, the Boshin war, Boxer's Rebellion...ah fuck it, I give up.

America's closet just happens to be big enough to lose all those skeletons. "Accidentally" of course

[Norstal]

The federal reserve is a bank put in place to run the US government. It is in charge of the national debt, financing government, setting banking standards like long term interest rates and managing the countrys currency system. Without it, the government has no money, the government has no way to borrow money(unless you want Obamas bank account managing trillions of dollars), US banking loses most of its regulation and the US economy collapses into itself overnight...so tell me again how abolishing it overnight is a good thing?

Jackson did it and it all turned out fine.

No it fucking didn't. What do you think happened to the next president?
