Default The US is all an illusion...

It's all make believe here in the US...roads, bridges, monuments, hospitals...everything has been created by fiat bullshit currency. It's funny what the US has done on loan more less...a loan they could never possibly pay back. Look at the vast empire we've built here...all on a farce. Yet it's done and here to stay so it's tangible.

The US is perhaps the most crafty, conniving nation in the history of the world. The country with the biggest GDP and most workers/output can conquer all with what fiat and fractional lending has done for the US. The fact that our currency is...scratch that HAS collapsed (more less) and is backed by air is proof that they have paid workers in defaulting IOU's it would seem. I'm beginning to wonder who the idiot is here though. Me who tries to live within my means while saving shrinking USD along the way, or the frivolous people? They are imitating what the US has done and which has worked so well to build an empire. They are buying things they can't afford just as the US government does decade after decade. I seemingly will have nothing left as the USD becomes stretched further and further thanks to inflation devaluing my unbacked savings vehicle. Those that drink their paychecks away will at least have had fun doing it. Those that are spend happy will have tangible items where I will have defunct currency in a defunct bank account. As they say...live & learn right?

Rant back...please. I love to rattle cages and provoke thoughts. If I can turn just 1 person on to become a free thinker I'll be a happy man!
