The world bankers, Rothchilds etc use rigged elections to pick their politicians.
They are placed to increase the debt. That's the main reason. They are told to borrow and spend as much as possible to increase the debt by design.
The Rothchilds want the interest. Generational wealth and power.
THe US pays 50 billion a month in interest alone.

It doesn't. The government pays interest to the fed but their profits ultimately end up in the treasury. So the bigger picture is that the government can borrow unlimited money for free. The only limits are currency devaluation and short-term interest spikes.

>Now, US taxpayers owe interest (and principal) on said US bonds, as well as paying a fee AND DIVIDENDS to the NYFed’s shareholders, the primary dealers (the big banks), this is the ‘Public Issues’ portion of the US Public Debt

How it should be:

This is called the Intragovernmental Debt and is included in the US Public Debt.

We need to AGAIN issue debt-free, Treasury-issued US Notes like we did before (and during) the bloodsucking, obsolete Federal Reserve. We need to AGAIN issue debt-free US Notes that are pegged to a basket of commonly-used weighted commodities, distributed by a series of state banks.

We can:
1 nationalize Fed banks
OR
2 dissolve Fed and have a series of state banks
OR
3 issue US Notes simultaneously AGAIN and eventually recycle worthless Federal Reserve Notes out of circulation
OR
4 YOU CAN RIGHT NOW: use cash/barter/stack/use credit unions/use cold wallets, these five things IMMEDIATELY transfer power directly to the people

USE CASH, NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU ARE IN, cash IMMEDIATELY puts the power in the hands of the people.

Treasury-issued paper fiat (aka cash):
>is permissionless
>is private
>is anonymous
>has no transaction fees
>works in power outages
>doesn’t need the internet
>don't need to be a coder to use it
>doesn't depend on another party having a device

>money laundering is harder with physical cash, due to transport
>is inclusive, it does not see race

>puts the power directly in the hands of the people
>keeps the currency near the REAL goods and services
>less paperwork
>is face to face, not face to screen
>makes government theft harder
>using cash forces the debt-based Federal Reserve to serve the citizens

Boycott businesses that do not take cash.

Barter is the real torpedo to these fucking clowns.

It does not matter.

Structurally the debt has to exist in order to leave money behind in the economy -- because money is ultimately created by the State.

If the government paid the debt off entirely, it would require removing $37-38T or whatever it is OUT of the private sector. There's no real good explanation or reason why you would want to do this. That's how Bill Clinton caused the dotcom crash.

Now, in the alternative, the country could start running a large enough trade deficit to gradually eliminate the debt (but we currently do not) or the government could bring the interest rate below the growth rate and slowly eliminate it that way.

First:
US Gold Notes and US Silver Notes are interest-free, metals-backed, NON-fiat notes that could be issued by the US Treasury TODAY.
US Notes are interest-free, fiat notes that could be issued by the US Treasury TODAY, they can also be metals-backed and were intended to be used as a tool for the citizens to trade.
Federal Reserve Notes are DEBT-BASED, fiat notes issued out of thin air by the privately-incorporated, now-BANKRUPT Federal Reserve 12 regional franchises and are currently bankrupting the US Treasury.

All of the above are ALL DENOMINATED IN US DOLLARS (aka $US), which is a fucking UNIT.

And secondly, there are FOUR ways currency is created in the US:
1 Congressionally-approved Public Issues treasuries for deficit spending via the issuance of marketable US treasuries sold by the NYFed’s primary dealers aka Debt Held by the Public (now ~$38 T)
2 Intragovernmental Debt GAS securities (aka ‘Unfunded Liabilities’) that are created/issued for currency to run public agencies (over ~$134 T now) and ARE PURCHASED WITH YOUR PAYROLL TAXES
3 The commercial tier 2 depository banking sector, it makes small loans in which only the interest remains in the banking system after the loan is paid back (the principal and repayments are destroyed when the loan is repaid) —this can remain when the Fed is dissolved
4 QE, this is fucking counterfeiting by the now-insolvent NYFed's primary dealers since 2008 via IOER (now called IORB) and we pay all sorts of interest on this, increasing every day with raising rates FUCKING PIC RELATED

>US Gold Notes and US Silver notes are interest free
There is no physical requirement whatsoever that the US Treasury sell bonds to finance itself. It is a purely legal construct that would or could be changed no different than any other law.

In actual mechanical terms, the US Treasury is not even financing itself today with the bonds it is legally required to issue. Selling bonds is a mechanism to drain excess reserves created when Congress apportions spending.

All the richest countries have trillions in debt. Assuming we don't owe that debt to Angola and Guatemala you see the reality that debt is currency. Out of all the things that could cause societal collapse debt is not one of those. When you are rich debt is an asset.
>>
>>526156013
I should also add that there is no physical OR legal requirement that US bonds bear interest. The Treasury, same as the Fed, is a monopoly operation and can set its yields anywhere it wants (just like the Fed can set the overnight interest rate anywhere it wants).

There is no market mechanism here.

That is a great question and the simplest answer is probably because entrenched interests want to earn interest risk free. Warren Buffet understands this very well -- when US debt was downgraded by Moodys' he countered that it ought to be rated AAAA. Meaning, the US government can't run out of money (this is not the same thing as being able to spend infinite money with no consequences).

But maybe it's a good idea to pay interest. Pension funds love to buy bonds and earn interest on them. That's what a large part of the "debt" is -- it's just people's social security accounts. Of course, the government can make those SS payments anyway because it creates the money, but I don't know. It's a policy choice!

One minor quibble, though: The government, at least at the federal level, is not collecting taxes for revenue. The federal government creates new money every time it spends. It does not need to earn or collect tax revenue before it can spend. Taxes instead destroy money, acting as a check on inflation, to redistribute income (this might be good or bad, i don't know), to modify behavior (you get a tax credit for having a child, you pay vice taxes when you buy cigarettes or alcohol).

https://home.hiwaay.net/~becraft/RUMLTAXES.html

But I suppose long story short on your overall question, there are a lot of very rich people who are very invested in the narrative that the government needs to "borrow" money to finance itself.

The now-bankrupt Federal Reserve franchise collateralizes their worthless Federal Reserve Notes with US treasuries (aka securities).
The 12 Fed franchises are now bankrupt and don't have enough collateral to request more fiat. It is being suggested now to take regional Fed shareholder capital or even regional Fed owner’s assets to back their worthless Federal Reserve Notes under Section 2 of the Federal Reserve Act.

Every uncollateralized Federal Reserve Note being issued today is a lien on the assets (and shareholder capital) of the now-bankrupt NYFed's owners, including its largest owner, JPM.
How is JPM making record profits when the NYFed's private franchise ITSELF is ~$145B in the hole?
Why is JPM still being paid dividends when the NYFed is insolvent?

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says it is to have reserves in gold equal to 35% of its deposits.
It doesn’t do this.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says it will maintain a gold account at the Treasury.
It doesn’t do this.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says the Fed’s franchise will be forfeited if they violate law.
It is not.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says that Federal Reserve Notes will be redeemed for gold.
They’re not.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says Fed bank owners will be held responsible for all regional Fed bank operating expenses, debts and contracts.
They aren’t.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says Fed member banks will not repurchase US treasuries that have maturities greater than six months from their date of purchase.
They do.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says US Treasury yields are to be paid in tax-free gold.
They aren’t.

Gold is mentioned 53 times and on 11/25 pages. The word gold is littered throughout the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, basing one promise after another on GOLD. It was the ONLY reason the legislation passed.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 says the Federal Reserve will not pay any income tax, its shareholders will receive a 6% dividend or the yield on a US 10-year treasury (whichever is lower) and also to have all their travel expenses paid.
They did manage to uphold these parts of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

Why do we have a Federal Reserve again?

It makes no difference to the US at al if China wants to buy bonds. As has been explained in this thread already, the US government does not need to sell bonds to finance itself.

The only way that China can buy bonds to begin with is if it has US currency. China cannot manufacture US dollars, so they must acquire them first. They acquire those dollars by selling something -- other currencies, other assets, surplus production, etc. -- either to the US or US entities who have dollars or some other entity that has dollars and is paying in dollars.

Then China would shift those dollars from a reserve account at the Fed to a securities account at the Treasury -- in the same way you, a retail customer, might move some amount of money from your checking account to your savings account at your local bank.

Nobody cares if China buys bonds or doesn't buy bonds. What might be a problem is if the actual production the US is sourcing from China dries up and the US can't adequately replace it. But it has been several consecutive administrations now who have been talking about and putting measures in place to get away from Chinese production dependence, so they don't seem to view that as a problem.

So if taxes are just a way to remove money supply, wouldn't it be more efficient to tax banks? They have direct access to the moneystream, and that way you wouldn't need IRS agents. You could levy the tax on bank investments. Like housing.

Now the Federal Reserve franchises have their dream come true, note the right side of the chart, high reserves and high IORB at the same time
the last time they tried to have both, JPM got raided by the FBI for rigging treasury and silver markets which caused the repo spike, all big banks failed again quietly and got bailed out again for trillions in Sept/Oct 2019 and then we had covid, which shut down the economy and conveniently hid their illiquidity lol

this is why the Fed won't cut rates, it's paying out IORB its the NYfed primary dealers

>>526157670
Sure. You could do that. You could also increase spending by the government on the people -- through a job guarantee program, through maybe a UBI (though MMT people tend to not like this as they feel inflationary effects could be unpredictable), or fully subsidized training/education, etc. where you gradually whittle down what people need to utilize banks and bank credit for.

the late 90s- early 2000's, that's when:
>bill clinton was pres
>larry summers was treasury secretary
>when Clinton counted Social Security twice and everyone thought we had a surplus
>when they repealed Glass-Steagall b/c everyone thought we had a surplus for THE FIRST TIME IN 100 YEARS (pic rel), but that turned out to be a fucking lie, too

No, I fully understood what you were trying to say. You aren't understanding what I am saying, and your insistence that gold is money proves you don't know what you're talking about.

The US government does not need anyone -- ANYONE AT ALL -- to EVER buy a bond. Selling bonds is not a borrowing operation. It doesn't need to be lent its own money unit. It creates its own money unit every. time. it spends.

Stop posting.

>The US government does not need anyone -- ANYONE AT ALL -- to EVER buy a bond.
This is the most retarded statement I've heard all day.
If the government doesn't need 'anyone at all to ever buy a bond', why is it spending nearly 25% of its tax revenue on servicing its debt? (Note: that 25% will skyrocket when others don't want your shitty bonds anymore, because you'll have to raise rates).
>>
>>526158050
These same circumstances apply to any country that issues its own currency. China, Canada, Russia, Japan, etc. None of them need to sell bonds to finance themselves.

Europe is more muddled since they have national budgets and economies with a supranational currency that the member nation states are not actually in control of.
>>
>>526158237
Because our government is controlled by the wealthy who want guaranteed returns, risk-free. They want you to believe you need to borrow money from them.

But why would the government, who issues the money, need to borrow money? The only thing you can buy bonds with is US dollars. So logically, US dollars must exist first.

Government spends first.

>>526158050
>that gold is money proves you don't know what you're talking about.

Gold is the very definition of money in our constitution

And a strong currency HAS MANY FORMS, never just one (fiat paper, metal, digital, check, money order, smart contracts, NFTs…).
If one wants real change and a strong national currency, there must be multiple forms of a currency, not just one 'savior' form.

Fiat is INTENDED TO BE AN INTEREST-FREE TOOL FOR COMMERCE, NOT AN INVESTMENT

It does not escape me that people are primarily motivated to promote the form THAT THEY HOLD THE MOST OF.
I promote a debt-free, US Treasury-issued fiat because it serves the citizenry itself and facilitates commerce, not because I want to profit or surveil or datamine or control the said population. These are small goals for small people with small minds, working AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE CITIZEN.

We can have (and already have had for fucking decades) fucking fiat without the fucking Fed. We will also still have socks and ice cream without the Fed.

the great irony here, is the more cash the public uses, the more it forces the Fed franchises to hold interest-free fiat as liabilities (aka CIC cash in circulation) and thus, making US taxpayers’ dollars less available to be spent paying out the liabilities of IORB to primary dealers and interest on reverse repo transactions to MMFs

The debt-based Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the IRS were both created in 1913.
The new IRS conveniently forced everyone to use their new Federal Reserve Notes to pay their new US Federal Income Tax.
The Fed was supposed to stabilize the US currency by backing every Federal Reserve Note (FRN) issued (TO BUY US TREASURIES) with 40% gold (40 cents of gold for each $1 FRN issued).
In 1933, everyone’s gold was confiscated by the Treasury (except $100 worth/person) b/c the Fed convinced US Pres FDR that Americans were hoarding gold & they were forced to trade their gold in for $20.67/troy oz. Federal Reserve Notes were also now no longer exchangeable for gold.
In 1934 the Gold Reserve Act allowed FDR to establish the gold value of the dollar solely by proclamation & raised the exchange rate to $35/oz troy, extracting wealth & value once again from the American public.
In 1944, the IMF & the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) were formed at the Bretton Woods Conference.
In 1958, Bretton Woods pegs all foreign currencies to the dollar, & the dollar pegged to gold at $35/troy oz. Debt-based Central Banks under the BIS pop up all over the world to facilitate the Fed & the BoE in their check kiting, fractional reserve, debt-based central-banking ponzi.
In 1971, Nixon depegs the dollar to gold entirely, making the US currency free-floating fiat, which completely negated the original Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which was to back each Federal Reserve Note issued with gold.
In 1974, Pres Ford legalizes gold ownership again without limitation & gold is NOW valued at $42/ozt.
The NOW BANKRUPT Federal Reserve & its biggest shareholders, the NYFed’s primary dealers, for the last 50 years & up to today, continue to issue our currency out of thin air, while charging us interest to do so. Rewarding insolvent, failing banks & investment firms using QE and taxpayer money over & over again, acquiring assets during crises, while rigging global markets.

crypto tghought they were going to be able to have rewards so the crypto industry helped/lobbied the Genius Act to pass which said stablecoins cannot pay interest

the stablecoin issuers agrred to this b.c they thought they would be able to give this a run around with 'rewards', but the banks just came in and killed this runaround and are now trying to pass the clarity act which will cement the bnaks power over stablecoin issuers
