The situation is now so bad that people are suggesting that the US
might as well abolish all taxation and just keep on printing and
spending money. It would make little difference to the deficit.
The deficit is never going to be repaid and it appears impossible now
for the US to cut back to spending only what it collects in taxes.
That's why the Chinese and others are spending their dollars to
purchase real assets in the US and Africa and stuff like gold and rare
earths. Better spend those dollars quick while they are still worth
something.
