It's only siphoning purchasing power if people don't beat inflation. Since the people that produce goods and services tend to become the 0.0001% (see Bezos) thus beating inflation, there is no issue. So it can go on forever so long as the average normie is blissfully ignorant to wagecuck forever.

Gross debt isn't very important, only debt to gdp. A billionaire might run a million dollar deficit one year, but that's peanuts to him. Worry about proportions not absolutes.

The US deficit is concerning, given that they're pumping money into the economy when they should be taxing. It makes no sense to be running such high deficits when things are going so well (thanks Trump). Still, who knows, things might work out.

DESU nobody can predict the future and you're an idiot if you think you listen to people who say they can. Read about black swans and so on. We don't really understand how the universe operates, we can only rationalize with hindsight.

Nope, Burgerland is doomed. The main reason America can run such massive deficits to fund the upkeep of our crumbling empire is because the dollar is the world's main reserve currency. Once it loses that status to the euro or yuan in the future America will no longer be able to run this deficit and we will no longer be able to fund our military that enforces the world neoliberal order on poor countries around the world. Then, with the help of a new communist superpower China, the masses of the oppressed third world workers will rise up, overthrow their bourgeoisie US-backed puppet governments and we will achieve world socialism and eventually world communism.

If you actually knew anything about Marxism you would understand Deng's intention. Marx believed societies went through different historical stages of development, capitalism being one of them. Deng argued that China was not developed enough to enter a socialist mode of production right away and that they had to build up their productive forces to accomplish this. Marx stresses the development of the productive forces as being necessary for achieving a socialist and eventually communist society. Deng used the free market reforms to encourage foreign investment to help build up China's economy as a prelude to socialism. Since Deng's reforms, China has become an economic powerhouse, and now Xi is beginning to turn China down the socialist path that was intended from the beginning. The market reforms were merely a means of building China up to achieving socialism.

The CEOs ultimately answer to Xi and the CPC. Where do you think all the capital for China's massive infrastructure projects comes from? Xi has been curbing the influence of the billionaires in recent years. The USSR did a market reform right after the Civil War to rebuild the economy called the New Economic Policy or NEP. Eventually the government brought the NEPmen (people who made a lot of money during the NEP) into line after they served their purpose. Just because China has billionaires doesn't mean they run everything you fucking retard. If you actually understood Marx' theory of historical materialism you'd understand the development of societies from capitalism to socialism.

Many of my fellow socialists vehemently disagree with me on this point. The difference with China is is the state-capitalist system they have now was never meant to be permanent. It was meant to develop China's productive forces to eventually achieve socialism. China developed their own system and its working pretty well for them so I am inclined to side with Xi over some latte-sipping Westerner who has never been to China and doesn't understand the material conditions of the country. China is following their own path to socialism and I feel like they've gotten further than any retarded Western leftists have.

Debt never needs to be paid off.
Individual bonds do, but they can be paid with the revenue created from issuing and selling new ones.
Its called debt rollover or smth.
The only thing that does need to be paid is the interest on debt.
You can also pay that by issuing new debt but you have to be careful, if you issue to much new debt people will be less willing to buy it, you will have to entice them by giving them a higher yield on the bonds you issue.
If you give them a higher yield though, you will have to pay more interest and thus will likely have to issue even more debt at even higher yields to entice even more people to buy your bonds.
This can spiral out of control.
The only line of defense to keep this from happening is selling foreign reserves (mostly consisting out of gold for the US and europe, mostly consisting out of dollars for the rest of the world) instead of issuing new bonds at higher yields.
In order for this to work those foreign reserves need to be substantial in comparison to your debt. This usually isnt the case so a debt spiral leads to a loss of confidence in the underlying currency with a massive drop (stag or hyperinflation)
When this happens, all of a sudden your foreign reserves become very valuable compared to your debt and you can stop issuing debt and start selling foreign reserves.
Even the sheer possibility of this can calm the markets.

See 1970's for the US, yields skyrocketed to 14%, but gold skyrocketed 25-fold till the foreign reserves of the US was 25% of the debt.

Well, our economy is like 20 trillion. Most of the debt is privately held anyway, and the US is the strongest force on the planet so no one's going to make them collect if shit hits the fan.

Worst case scenario this shit pops, a lot of people get fucked out of their bonds/treasuries and whatever, we get a recession and then we rebound like nothing happened. Boom/bust cycle is a given, all you can do is prepare.

>> No.13589129

People like to fixate on the negative aspect of debt-fueled growth economies that can't last forever (in theory), but the truth is they do accelerate growth and progress. When the system busts, people lost a lot of their investments and money, but the IP and products derived from said debt fueled hyper charged economy remain, and we can use these moving forward.

The alternative is a pragmatic, but molasses economy where people and governments cling to their tangible assets and refuse to engage in credit. The Middle East isn't exactly a bumping place.
