I just watched Dennis Quaid in “Reagan”. Excellent film. But it reminded me of how Reagan sank the Soviet Union: by outspending the Soviet Union on the arms race. It worked! The Soviet Union, hamstrung by grossly inefficent central planning, couldn’t keep up and collapsed under President George H.W.Bush.
Fast forward to today. Starting with Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2009, following the financial crisis in 2008. The Federal government ramped up Federal spending, and Federal debt. While The Federal Reserve, the hand maiden to the Federal government, ramped up M2 Money supply.
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emmanuel
Then came Biden/Harris who drove Federal debt and spending to absurb level (orange box). Like the financial crisis, fans of big government and big government spending will utter the word “Covid.” But that is gross misleading. Covid was the excused for wild spending and debt issurance. And MORE Fed money printing. It’s almost as if Obama/Biden/Harris were replicating Reagan’s bankrupcy strategy in reverse! That is, collapsing the US from within.
As we are all painfully aware, the US Debt now stands at $36 TRILLION with $220.3 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities. Too bad total US Assets are only $217 TRILLON.
Do I believe that Obama/Biden/Harris want a “Great Reset”? Absolutley. Just look at our fiscally unsustable open borders and our politiicians blatanly lying to us. :Like Ohio’s Senator Sherrod Brown who brags about his helping write the border bill that would reverse Trump’s deportations and fund the speeding up of immigration.
