“We are not broke as a nation.

We are not bankrupt.

We can’t go bankrupt.

We absolutely cannot go bankrupt because we have the power to create as much money as we need to spend to serve the American people,”

As in "I've got plenty of money. See all the blank checks I have left over?"

This is the intelligence level we have in Congress today.

Apparently increasing revenue and decreasing spending never occurred to the congressman.

they set up derivatives on every home which they recently
acquired.

and on the citizens, Malta, Italy, Spain,
MI6 already have made derivatives - and they control SCOTUS
tighter than an Afghani controls his 7 year old wife.

derivatives of 100s of billions of trillions of dollars.
it is special club with no rules, no Laws;
and you Americans, outside of DC, are not in it.

Technically, the congressman is correct -- as long as the US dollar remains the world's reserve currency. The day that ends, it's lights out and game over, and we'll have to learn how to live within our means once again.

Keynesians: spend in bad times, cut spending in good times.

Keystone Keynesians: bad times require more spending, good times are an opportunity to spend more.

Post Modern Democrats: spending as a form of economic masturbation.

The problem with most politicians today, especially commie Leftist DEMs, is they utterly fail at history. Keep printing that money and see what happens, YarmuthIdiot.........!

We can still go full Zimbabwe—kill all the white people and wildly inflate the currency.

That is the Democratic Party program these days...

Look at the intelligence level on Free Republic.
Here we've got you posting a few lines from somebody's Tweet.

Even worse you've classed it as "News".

You are the problem.

Guess we can immediately end federal taxation, since they can create all they need!

We may have all the money we can print, but China owns the wheelbarrows.

Sure. Free money. Why not? Why doesn’t every nation just print more money and no one would be poor, right?

Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) Chairman of the Budget Committee.

Another dumb Democrat Marxist/Leftist with HHUHA.

Right! Too many Democrats still see their party as the party of the working man. Well, that hasn’t been true for at least 20 years. Today’s Democrat party is run by socialists who are just itching to go full commie.

Even the least educated know that keeping interest rates at near zero and printing money as fast a they can makes money worthless. It’s reported that as of August we are at almost 9% inflation year over year. It’s even higher for food and fuel. And it’s climbing higher every month since biden was sworn in. If this does not stop, the dollar will collapse in very short order. If thing things are bad now, wait until that happens.
