      Debt isn’t hard to understand..but you explained it clearly from your point of view instead of how it truly is: left out information, misleading information, half truths. You basically created a video of your own believes with some facts to make it seem true instead of the actual truth. Honestly your channel is losing more and more credibility the more you upload

    I thought if we paid off our debt, inflation would revert back to the early 1900's where a hamburger would cost 5 cents. Minimum wage back to 25 cents an hour and the value of money would skyrocket back to what it was 150 years ago

    • @sturutherford697
      @sturutherford697 2 ปีที่แล้ว +98

      No that won't happen wigowoo1. That's due to compounding inflation. If you need me to, explain in flatiron just ask. Another reason why we won't pay off debt, is debt gives the dollar value. For a micro economic example, if you get a loan for a house, that loan is repaid in US dollar. Macro economic example, the government takes out a loan from China to build a highway. As of today's standards, China expects to be paid back in USD. USD is the world trade currency because it is stable and comparatively strong. Strength is derived from demand, so us based debt is a big demand, along with other countries needing it for trade, debt, etc.

Lookup a 1950s Washing matching and compare it to a cheap modern one. Way more technology. More that likely accounting for past wage and inflation back to 1950 it cheaper now too. Perfect example, my dad traded a ford ranger for a computer in the early 90s, now I can buy one for next to nothing.

      @amine dz Personal debt is unambiguous. I you have net debt then you as an entity are in debt because you owe money to some other entity(s). National debt is your government borrowing money on behalf of you and your compatriots to spend on behalf of you and your compatriots (for current consumption and/or investment). If the national debt is borrowed domestically from you and/or your compatriots, then your nation as an entity does not have net debt because it has borrowed from itself. However, whatever part of the nations borrowings might be represented by money borrowed from foreigners is in fact real net debt because your nation as an entity owes this money to other entities on behalf of you and your compatriots.

    The problem is that the debt allowance for the US can be easily increased with passing of a simple bill, which takes only a few days. Whenever they need more money to spend and are overdraft on their allowance, they simply raise the bar and borrow more.
    Also, they are printing more and more which is making their money less valuable.

      This is partly the cause of the great depression. Two things can happen.
      1.Everyone rushes to pull their money out of commercial banks, and the Federal Reserve increases the money supply so that these banks have the money to hand out.
      Or, in the case of the great depression
      2. The fed reserve won't increase supply and therefore the banks lose their liquid assets (money) and go bankrupt.

Lots of people think the US only has foreign debt. Around half of our debt is owed to organizations and people right here in the country. The other half is foreign lenders of which China only accounts for about $2 trillion.
      Interestingly enough, some countries have debt many times their GDP. Luxembourg has a debt of about $8 trillion which is over 6,000 times their GDP. I’m still trying to find out why that is and who exactly they owe money to. Can’t find any further data on that yet

    Several problems with this video:
    1. The speaker uses the word "deficit" in circumstances where he means "debt". The deficit is the year to year budget shortfall. You don't pay back a deficit, you pay back the debt that is accrued from a deficit. You can reduce or eliminate a deficit by balancing a budget.
    2. There is no mention of the the primary cause of the U.S. debt and those are unfunded liabilities and mandatory spending. Go ahead and do the math on the problems he identified by adding them: now subtract that from 21 trillion.
    3. The reason the U.S. was "debt free' in the 1800s was that Andrew Jackson confiscated assets from the Natives and sold them, despite this being a violation of numerous established treaties.
