Clinton ended deficit soending because the Republicians draged him kicking and screaming into it.

There was no surplus. None at all. Any surplus they told you they have a a projection 10 years out based on y2k spending. It never hapoened.
>>
>>541112838
The deficit exists because of fiat credit and people's debts being written off, including major businesses and through accounting manipulation, the government's as well. Inflation is cumulative and compounding because of this and people continuing to use it. Try harder.

If the dollar retained its purchasing power in the year 2000 the national debt would have gone from $5.66T in 2000 to $8.9T if you're using the realistic Shadowstats method for calculating real inflation. The dollar has devalued a shitload since 2000 which is why these numbers seem so fucking insanely large. The jew goal is always to outrun the debt via inflation, not to pay it off at the value it truly was worth when acquired.
>>
>>541111543
You just moved the goalposts to the moon. The economy hadn't been exported to China under Clinton either and yes that started under Reagan but Clinton signed NAFTA and started the process of bringing China into the WTO. Enough with the retarded left/right shit at least on economics. The amount of "small government" Reaganomics retard conservatives is tiny now unless you're talking boomers.
>>
>>541111317
Shitty thing is you already paid it. You paid it via inflation. The people that didn't pocketed that money and are richer for it. They sure didn't pass on the money printing in wages, so unless you bought shitloads of equities (and unless you're well off, you didn't and it wouldn't have been enough), you got fucked. You got pointless wars and graft.

Basically kills the bond market and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Point of it being would be to put investment dollars somewhere else, probably equities. Could also cause immense asset and commodity inflation.

Okay, but how much of that was just a factor of problems which were already baked in not having reached the point of becoming critical yet? I am not going to say Bush jr. wasn't worse, because Bush jr. absolutely was worse, but Clinton wasn't *good* he was just *less bad*. It's like the difference between having your dick slammed in a car door and having it stuck into a blender. They're both actively making life for Americans and the rest of the world, Clinton was just doing it less aggressively than Bush jr. did.

Literally not possible anymore. The interest on the debt grows much faster than increases in productivity happen. Paying off the debt could be accomplished by hypothetically just printing all the money and handing the now massively devalued dollars to the creditors, but that would pretty much instantly destroy the dollar. The only reasonable course of action is to just repudiate the national debt. The state had no right to incur debts on behalf of the populace, and we have no obligation to pay them. The creditors who gave the government money on the understanding that they would be paid back with stolen or counterfeited money can get fucked too, they knew what they were doing.
>>541115497
Every time I think about the world we could have had if the government hadn't responded to 9/11 the way it did I get so fucking mad.
>>
>>541110320
Clinton deported 13M people.
This number is insanely high for modern standards. Trump, on his first 4 years, only deported 800k. Less than Biden would deport after him (counting all types of deportions).

Democrats are literally 70% of the country's accumulated debt, and 90% of the debt we've accumulated in the last six years.
Go figure democrats cherry pick their degenerate presidents when it suits their purposes. Clinton is a national hero because he reduced the debt, but the orange man is the antichrist, even one has been conclusively proven to have sexually assaulted a woman in office, and the other only has tabloid court convictions.

Getting off the gold standard wasn't the cause of the debt. Lowering taxes while increasing spending is the cause, and it was Reagan, Bush, and Trump who did that.
>>
>>541115735
What way to do it is to cancel the national debt in stages. Basically pick out domestic lenders that we borrowed from and say "we've already paid back the full amount of the initial loan plus some extra, we're not going to recognize unpaid interest any more. You got your money already, you won't get any more from us."

A big chunk of the oldest loans will evaporate immediately, and the interest from them disappears as well. This will shake the markets and piss off a bunch of people, but while the banks will take a hit the fact that you are (for now) choosing to honor the rest of the national debt keeps the system from completely collapsing all at once.

Then you wait a while for the banks to stabilize a big, and you do it again. Eventually you establish that perpetual interest will never be honored, banks will get back a flat return on their investment that once paid off the whole loan is repaid in full. This allows us to keep borrowing, and the banks DO make money from lending to the government, but the amount they can make off of the government is capped instead of being a perpetual debt engine with ever-increasing interest.
>>
>>541110320
Bill Clinton was not responsible for any of that shit BTW. Cold War (started by America) ended. George HW bush, despite the shitbag faggot he was, was the last president to stand up To Israel and tell them "no". Clinton is remembered fondly only for the circumstances he found himself in that were beyond his control. The economy was good in the 90's largely due to the dot com internet boom. Then there was a crash that is conveniently left out, but neither had anything to do with presidential policy.

In reality Clinton set us on the trajectory we currently are on and set up the current conflict in Europe. Setting Ukraine against Russia and NATO expansion all began under Clinton. His aggressive policy towards China also encouraged the beginning of China's militarization against the US in the Pacific. His policies actually created many enemies of the US and far reaching consequences that have damaged us immensely. He was a fucking degenerate too.

Spending can never be realistically expected to decline in a democracy. Republicans will claim they want to slash spending, but that’s because they’re retarded and think half of our budget is dedicated to government sponsored ballerina camps for trans youth. Republicans disproportionally represent the main demographic aided by spending: the elderly. This means they get their tax cuts but never reduce spending, which requires the money printer. Democrats at least pair the complementary economic depressants of spending and taxation which is better than only practicing one of the two.

And of course, not to mention the illegal NATO bombing campaign against Serbia and the nonsense intervantion in the yugo wars, where we helped muzzshits create fake nations in europe, then helped ehtnically cleanse Christians from their own homes.

There wasn't any physical limitation. It was already possible to borrow and print money even on the gold standard. What, do you think that the money was literally made out of gold coins until 1971?

No, it's literally the opposite of what you're implying. Crimea was only incorporated into Ukraine in the 20th century under the Soviet Union for mostly bureaucratic reasons. It wasn't some ethnic thing, it was purely just shuffling some land from one administrative subdivision to another. There are a lot of explanations people give as to why it was done, but in my opinion it was probably just to make it so that the railroads that went to Crimea from Ukraine didn't have to go out of one region, into Ukraine, and then back into that same region. Outside of Soviet bureaucracy Crimea has literally never been part of what people generally recognized as "Ukraine" until the 1990s. Russia retaking Crimea is more like the East Bank being reabsorbed into Jordan or something, but even less dubious than that.
