If the U.S. national debt is greater than than the money supply, how can it be repaid?

The debt doesnt exist to be paid. It is a philosophical creation. It is the physical manifestation of the ideology that living beings are inherently worthless and useless and need to perpetually repent for the sin of existing. It is the theoretical foundation of slavery and slavery is necessary for capitalism to function

That sounds deep but I don't understand what you're driving at. On January 8, 1835, President Andrew Jackson paid off the entire national debt, the only time in U.S. history that has been accomplished. But I believe he had to kill the Second Bank of the United States to pull it off.

That was when we were on the gold standard. The USD now are IOUs which are debt in-of-themselves. So we increase the money supply perpetually without inflation by raising the debt ceiling borrowing more from our own banks. We use the borrowed money to pay the interest of the debt.

Regardless, the point I'm making is that Trump said he'd have her investigated and locked up. He did fuck all. Jackson would have delivered.
What brought Trump down is that he said he'd deal with the criminality in DC. He was not serious, but they took him seriously.
Huge mistake.

Mathematically, a debt-based monetary system like the one we have now will always create more and more debt until it can no longer be paid back and borrowers default. The lenders then use the legal system to seize real-world assets.

This has been articulated 200 years ago. The subservient peasant class who doesnt own anything are called proletariat and the parasitic upper owning class that owns and controls the means of production (means of existence; land, water,food,factories,houses etc) are called proletariat. Capitalism is inherently heirarchical, classes are part of its function. All of this is intended and normal according to capitalism

Money is not physical capital. Money is created by banks as debt. Money should be a store of value and a means of exchange. Instead, in our system, the people who control the creation and flow of money use it as a way to confiscate the wealth produced by the labor and creativity of the people.

certainly not rooted in societas (A union for a common purpose; society, fellowship, partnership, association, community, union; affinity)

looking in the fine printed nearly all central banks are not operating within their legislative mandate.

Canada, in the BoC act, gives it a public central bank for example, one of only few in the world, but it handed its keys over to the BIS in Switzerland without parliamentary or public approval.

this may be the Feds answer. By sinking other countries currency relative to ours, we could redenominate what assets we do have by exporting them into forex, let our own currency collapse, then nationalize enough assets to pay it off. But that will never happen.

btw we''ve been pointing this out for a few years now. We may be sinkong our own ship, but by manning the guns rather than the lifeboats, we are making sure that everyone else is sinking faster and worse. see: euro energy crisis.

If your future returns are greater than your present returns, the money supply must expand for these future returns to be paid out. But for the money supply to expand, new debt must be issued. So debt must increase for greater returns to be paid out, correct?

I don't think the U.S. is capable of robbing anyone. I think the people who control international finance are robbing the U.S. and the world. U.S. politicians and bureaucrats are obviously subservient to those who control the creation and distribution of money.

If you want a stable business environment you can't have a fucked class of people in forever poverty. If you want to keep playing crony capitalism you'll need to adopt all the poors or cast the die and see if you can survive the guillotine this time around. Even without welfare state we're fucked demographically and the only new debt that will enter the system will be from mass immigrants taking on more than they'll ever be able to repay for one final round of a moving economy and then we're really done because without debt the system will freeze up and they'll be no one left who can borrow.
At any rate, I am rolling highway robber for the reset. Good luck moving goods around when the majority are starving.
