My hunch is that no “deal” will be struck.

Rather, both parties will simply continue to “kick the can down the road” via continued borrowing and “quantitative easing”….a 10-dollar word for “printing more money.

What these clowns ALSO aren’t telling anyone is that most of that mountain of debt they all keep yammering on and on about is now being held by US…that is, you and me… rather than foreign governments.

That’s because the politicians continue to spend Social Security taxes as if it were current income and simply toss an “IOU” into the pot for future generations to repay.

And their stupid “quantitative easing” nonsense is nothing more than a stealth tax on us all. That’s because it makes our currency ever more worthless as the Fed keeps printing more and more money.

Unfortunately, the beauty of this approach for the politicians is that nobody in Congress (or the White House) can be directly accused of “raising taxes”.

The bottom line here is that “quantitative easing” is probably the most invidious form of taxation on the planet…primarily because it continues to make our currency ever more worthless in the world marketplace as time goes on.

And it’s all done out of sight and behind closed doors.

It brought a dark and angry cloud over all Americans.

“ideological purity” is just another way of saying “insane”.

What can we do?
