If the debt is up every where, then which countries are the beneficiaries of it? I am just unsure how this works. I mean, if it is doomsday, then why wouldn't it be a united front by all parties to stop it?

The majority of our (US) debt is owed to ourselves.

You're confusing debt and deficit. Debt, at the core, isn't necessarily a bad thing.

its just so insanely stupid because everyone owes everyone else so just get a pencil and paper and start scratching off debt for debt and balance what can be balanced. instead they rather stay in debt even when they could be debt free because they use debt as a form of currency for political gains

Beside 21T in debt. US has over 130T in UFUNDED liability. So does debt matter?

The whole world plays by the same parlor game. The world economy is just a legalized casino. The West (The US) holds the trump card (no pun intended) of the petrodollar. Other nations just dance to the tune. All benefiting the financial elite at the top of the casino pyramid. Or something to that effect.

The beneficiaries are mostly private individuals who purchase debt through bonds.

Big banks like JP Morgan Chase and the Rothschilds are the biggest winners.

It’s not tangible. It’s arbitrary but in its simplicity the government has continually spent more then its revenue by borrowing from other nations. They in turn do the same by leveraging debt.


The benefactor of all this is a private investor, lobbyist, manufacturer.

Ie - does the government not own GM now after the bailout?

And even if they did can they seize the asset and have it be of any value?

It’s a huge bubble that tends to lead to ginormous wars and resets.
