It really doesn’t matter what the actual number is.
It really doesn’t matter what any of us think.
What matters is what other people around the world think of us.
They don’t care what the actual numbers are either. They’re not looking at actual numbers. They’re looking at trends. The trends they see in America, and the pace of those trends, frighten them to one degree or another.
If they decide to cut us loose, they won’t care what we think.
This essay doesn’t matter either. Nobody cares what I or any other individual here thinks. What we think doesn’t matter.
That’s the whole point. Our opinions don’t matter. Every opinion expressed on this site doesn’t matter.
Reality is what matters.
If I have inaccurately described reality, it doesn’t matter because reality doesn’t care what I or anyone else thinks. If I have accurately described reality, it doesn’t matter because reality doesn’t care what I or anyone else thinks.
Of course it matters. The truth always matters. Your post is filled with misinformation, hyperbole and alarmism. Why did you even bother? Total consumer debt is around $2.6 trillion, not the $14 trillion you indicate in your post. Wherever do you get your numbers? If you're that far off on this one piece of data why should anyone pay any attention to anything else you've written? Again, why even bother to waste your time (and mine)? Does doom love and need company that badly?
That's funny.
Reality is what matters.
Make up your mind. LOL!
If I have inaccurately described reality
You have, like you usually do.
