    I have been pointing out the double standard of the Republican party for years, only a fool would think this is anything but a political game that they are playing, which as a fiscal conservative troubles me deeply. I know that there is a lively debate to be had about when debt should be used but I am one of those people who considers it a last resort, bought my car in cash and my last two houses in cash all on a $2,200/mo income, so I really believe in saving for what you need and not charging it on a card and I REALLY wish that either party could be as responsible as a well managed household. So Biden's "infrastructure" plan which is only 6% for roads and bridges seems like a looser to me, the other 94% seems like pork barrel projects and pandering and those of us in small town America will get nothing but higher taxes and the resulting inflation. I am all for cutting out the tax loopholes for mega corporations (aka "the job creators" according to the Republican LOL) and the 6% going to repairing actual hard infrastructure but the rest of that is just wasteful junk IMHO.

    I've generally approached this show with superficial knowledge of the subject at hand... pretty much all the time, and I have taken a comedians opinion, John Oliver, pretty much at face value. On this matter, on the other hand, things get tricky VERY quickly. The US has the planets TRUST it will honor its debt, and that WHY it can offer BONDS at such low rates. The dollar is the facto currency in international trade, another great advantage. If China pulls of this One Belt initiative and pushes the dollar outside as the international reserve currency and the Great US of A has, at the same time, an economic crisis, then interest will increase... and with that, every single American is, then, FUCKED. Too many IFFs in what I said... but for sure it is not all rosy BS like John Oliver is portraying...

    John, you and you’re team have constructed better arguments on other issues. This one came out to moral equivalency verses discussing the percentage of national debt compared to the GDP and how it narrows the dollar value and puts the nation’s economic system at risk if the interest rate climbed over 5 percent. The reason the interest payment went down is that the debt was refinanced during the last administration. It makes the debt load easier to manage, but if interest rates increase, it would collapses the financial markets. It’s a slippery slope.

    Dear John, let me give you a small fact. In 2020 (last year in the middle of a pandemic) meanwhile, in the USA the gas was valued at zero, here in Chile, we paid 1dollar for one liter of gas. So why we paid 1 US dollar for one liter of gas meanwhile you, on your value market valued at zero? My theory is that we, the small associated countries, we are paying for your inflation (USA inflation) and when the economic American bubble burst not only you, the USA, are gonna be fucked, so we're gonna be fucked too. I'm not an economist, I'm just presenting what I see.

    Economists DO KNOW why the interest rate is lowering. It ALL revolves around the central bank system. ALL central banks are independently owned (non governmental) and loan out each country's currency. It's the ONLY reason there is national debt period. The reason the interest rate goes down is based solely on the gdp and if it appears to the central bank that the nation won't be able to repay the full amount, or even goes bankrupt, the central bank still wants to get their money back. So just like a credit card where you can't pay it back, the credit card company sells your debt to someone else who then uses their own way of collecting the money. The problem is when you're the company who actually MAKES THE MONEY, there's no one else to sell the debt to (except another central bank, which is how china and japan own part of u.s. debt) But, as we all know, the u.s. dollar is still extremely valuable to the rest of the world's marketplaces. And, so to keep the dollar from becoming absolutely worthless, the u.s. central bank lowers the interest rate to keep the u.s. on the hook to keep printing out more dollars (digital) and make the interest low enough to keep making those basic monthly payments and not go into bankruptcy, making the dollar worthless and making thousands of wealthy elites penniless. The central bank will milk the dollar system as long as humanly possible and will only switch currency after the nearly complete collapse of this currency we are 30+ trillion in debt with.

    The whole "if" inflation rises is missing a huge angle: inflation *IS* increasing drastically. The very fact of basic cost of living for "working class" people not rising combined with super-rich people getting very much richer means that inflation is happening. But it is not currently being felt the same across all sectors of economies. The problem with such inflation is that eventually there will be a correction. Also: "basic cost of living for working class" does not mean our working classes still pay the same for big expenses like health care, education, and housing, which have all been increasing as one would expect in an inflationary period.

    What a bunch of nonsense, building factories would imply did we actually manufacture things still. When was the last time you bought something that said made in America? It's a Ponzi scheme and with Americans having a birth rate well below replacement rates means it's unsustainable without importing huge amounts of people at a rate that makes it impossible to assimilate. You keep telling yourself all that BS if you like but you're not going to convince me. I was born at night but it wasn't last night. The idea that a service economy is going to be our new engine of growth is a joke. Service jobs are low-paying low-skilled McJobs for teenagers, here in America all the jobs in the coming decades are going to be in two sectors IT and Healthcare so if you don't write code you'll be wiping Boomer butts. And one question for you mister I got all the answers where the hell are you from anyhow? Is that a Texas accent I hear or maybe from somewhere in New England area, no that's a Wall Street accent for sure. LMFAO

    @Matt Corriere Hey look at that, you went and moved your own goalpost- at least we're making progress and you're now acknowledging that some of the worst parts of our history are real now. And you even acknowledge the drive for that awful and inexcusable behavior. Now you're just pretending that America was the least bad about it, in spite of the evidence indicating that at best America was no better. Also, I can't help but notice how your posts are liberally peppered with excuses for that behavior, as though you're well aware that it's not great or good, and you're still desperately trying to blame the victims of that behavior. You saying that these people deserved redlining and enslavement and all the active oppression that they are still now going through is.... Well, that's the sound your pride makes to cover the noises your soul is making for obvious injustice.

    @Seth Britton I know our history very well and do not deny that bad things happened in our country. I know about all the things that you listed but I stand by my statement, American is the least racist country in the world. Slavery has existed from the moment man became aware of is death. There is nothing special about the slavery that existed in the American colonies. Human history is literally the story of one group of people using force to control another group of people to gain resources. There are open slave markets in Africa now. There is genocide happening in China right now. In North Korea people held prisoner in a country they cant leave. In Venezuela women and young girls are left with no option but sex work to feed themselves. There are bad things happening now all over the world. That is the story of humanity. Diversity equals wars, always has always will. That's not racism, it's in group preference. Every group of people whats to ensure the survival of their genetics. American has universal ethics that extend past an individuals race. Jews are some of the most disliked people in the world but in America they have found success. Sometimes someone does hurts or kill some Jews but overall they live in peace and without fear of the government rounding them up. People immigrate to America and if they bring a work ethic they will do just fine. I live in Alaska and there is a large Philapio population here and they work hard and don't cause trouble or commit crimes and have done well. No one cares about their race. People don't like bad behavior and that's what they react to, not their race. I dislike all people who harm others regardless of their race. Maybe the crap you have been feed in public schools, universities, and media servers someone intrest who what's a race war.

American while not perfect is the least racist (your word not mine) country in the world. Judge the individual by their Character and not their immutable differences. I find people who are on the left to be obsessed with race and sex while most people just don't care. People may oppose legislation for other than race but you just assume that its because of race.

    Amazing how I could’ve predicted he’d support the debt. We have to pay debt back either through a surplus or taxes. And we’re spending way too much and have created a moral hazard in that “everything we spend on is ok”. We’re spending like we’ve won the lottery and as everyone knows, anyone who has won the lottery ends up bankrupt in the end.

    Countries don't retire. They only function for as long as they keep currency flowing. They do that by cultivating resources, generating jobs and employment, maintaining crucial infrastructure and supporting its living population. The US is not going to ever be able to go into retirement- functionally, the US is a machine that we either maintain or watch fall apart, and we have to constantly tune the thing to keep it giving optimal growth and output for all participants. (Currently, the engine is not very well optimized because the current economic model is currently attempting to burn everything down for the profit of a few private citizens over the wellbeing of the country and world.

    John the Federal Reserve sets the interest rate at super low rates as a measure to protect financial instruments from having to pay too much out in interest. That's why we don't pay much on the federal deficit. This is a double edge sword, however. Because Interest Rates are so low, that makes borrowing easier. That creates a feedback loop that makes it easier to take on more debt. However, this also means that the Federal Reserve cannot increase interest rates. This is because if the interest rates were raised then payments on the debt, which is at disastrous levels, also rise. The reason why we can get away with this is that the USD is tied to petro, American financial institutions reign supreme, and that Western societies put up with this so that way our economy collapsing does not take out theirs. I would caution against continuing this path because we don't know what will happen if we continue to spend ourselves into oblivion. Yes I agree spending to create is good but we've been doing that for so long (or at least 'attempted' too with voodoo supply-side Reaganomics) that we need to figure out and pay our debts. We don't know what will happen if other countries get tired of our antics and decide to punish us by demanding their money back. We don't know what the economic fallout will be when we tell them no. Holding large amounts of debt is almost never good for anybody ever.

    As much as I like John Oliver on many issues, economics isn't one. If you want to learn and truly understand how debt-based economics works and how it always leads to a bigger disaster, learn Austrian economics. Read up on monetary history, government spending, and especially the Federal Reserve on how they're printing money to finance US debt.

    This show used to be amazing. The jokes the first time around were really fucking good. The extent that they helped explain problems in the country with as tiny amount of political bias as they were capable of doing (for being as neo-lib as they are) helped alot of people i guess at minimum recite talking points. Thow now still has the ability to do this but its just at the cost of cringe and recylced bits. Theres maybe 3-4 types of jokes they use just over and over again. "oh wow found this item on the internet" describes it in more detail "cause guess what.. i have it! I have the funny item!! Look at me!! Im so sporadic". I'm just going to watch the rest of the episode i bet ill be able to find the same 3 setups and deliveries im talking about. Fuck i just want to watch the episode again. Off the top of my head these are the jokes: 2) something happens in a clip they show, John Oliver stares at camera only to say with zero emotion "sick" 3) long long over exaggerated version of what could have happened where john oliver gets more and more emotionally involved as the story goes on you finally look up 3 or 4 minutes has gone by. Was it to fill time? was it just laziness that the writers dont want to come up with any new concept that they dont have to make a joke based on the actual substance of what theyre talking about? Idk - Example: Melania fixing car in the rain bit 4) Using slang that communities that are usually opressed use "slay queen!" 5) talking about internet trends he clearly has no idea about and u can tell by howout of touch he seems The shows not inherently bad, its just so try hard while simultaneously not trying anything new at all. Just classic liberal cringe.

    Don’t get the dig on Elon. You actually start by recognizing that Tesla would never have survived without debt. And now they are building factories all over the world. Employing 10s of thousands of people. And are profitable. A success story if there ever was one. Elon is playful, and sometimes rash, please for god’s sake let him do that. He is literally putting people into space, and if you follow the news, probably to the moon as well. A little fun, a little indulgence, is not too much to ask.

    Reagan is a mystery to me. He was an awful president that increased the debt, gave amnesty to millions of illegals, destroyed the value of the dollar, and the list goes on, but everyone seems to think he was walking on water. He was one of the worst republican president, and yet, all the republicans are revering him as a God. If he was alive today and would run for election promising to do what he did, he would be accused of being part of the extreme left branch of the democratic party. Go figure.

    Obama increased the surveillance state, continued the “war on terror”, pushed identity politics to the forefront and who can forget turning Libya into a failed state? Yet he’s revered by many. The answer is both of these guys were likable and told people what they wanted to hear. No one gives a shit as long as you’re able to sweet talk them into things. Plus, Reagan and Obama both did good things for the nation as well. So that can’t hurt.

    American National debt predominantly consists of consumer debt, i.e living big now at future's expense. Even investment debt by default isn't great unless the returns are guaranteed to be high later. The govt always invests in the most politically feasible option instead of the more productive.

    This is fiscal idiocy. Business debt is about buying assets that create more income. Social programs aren't income producing assets. I'm not suggesting they're all bad, but him pretending they lead to economic nirvana is disengenuous at best. And you could CONFISCATE all the wealth of the richest Americans and not cover the yearly deficit, let alone decrease the debt. And you can only confiscate once. Then it's all gone. Tax increases won't solve the problem. That's just a dividing tactic. Reducing spending is the ONLY long term solution.

    Sure. I Totally believe you.

Growth that led to an entire generation having jobs in such abundance that they could write tv shows about people casually picking them up and discarding them like paper napkins, or thinking about taking a part time job to afford some college level education? Any reason why you're wanting us to ignore the evidence of history and rely on your fairytales?

    On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon had $2.3 trillion in unaccounted expenses. My guess is that the money constitutes the “black budget.” After 9/11, Congress increased the military budget by another $50 billion. According to a South Carolina (I think) research team, Rumsfeld forgot to mention that the Pentagon has over $2 trillion in unaccounted funds every year.

    Uh, what you're saying is that debt's ok if you use it to produce assets. Would be great if the US was a net asset producer. Problem is when you build bridges and roads in the US, you're producing a way for goods to move from one place to another........and the goods aren't assets because they're bought from other countries, to be consumed by US citizens. And improving healthcare just means you're prolonging the lives of consumers. So all you're doing is to borrow money to make stuff that makes it easier for other people to borrow more money. Unless people are making stuff and selling stuff more than they consume, your argument doesn't really hold much water.

    How to reverse that debt. Stop wasting it on torturing and murdering people. Remove private industries and the industrialists who run them from the seat of power. Tax the petulant tantrum throwers enough to maintain a steady flow of income, to be reinvested into infrastructure we actually need, along with protecting our citizens from worthless debt slavery. Maybe we could afford to take care of ourselves if we didn't have thoughtlessly cruel business heads deliberately setting us up for lose lose propositions where they profit off of our collective misery. I'm serious- stop making misery profitable, directly remove the profit junkies from the controls and reinvest in the wellbeing of our infrastructure and people. You'll see a profitable and thriving America within ten years.
