I hope we offset our economic loss to erase the bond debt and crush the mother frickers...”

...back to the Iron Age.
This was a post of mine a few weeks ago.
Is there an international court that can adjudicate such a claim? Serious question.

Any attempt by the US to default on its bond debt would cause ripple effects you can not even begin to imagine.
Lots of bad things and some that are good IMHO would happen but the world economy as we know it would change that very instant.

Obtaining an offset against the bond debt is not a “default “. It’s the exercise of a legal right to assert a liquidated debt against the debt of one’s creditor.

Forget an international court. This is something you simply declare and impose.
As far as "ill effects", take 10% of that amount and redistribute it to the other top 5 holders of our debt in the form of a transfer payment.
We're 90% ahead, China gets its arse kicked, everyone is happy.

Not servicing our bond debt is a scary thought.
However, if we quantify the actual loss, and make a claim against the debt to offset it, it wouldn’t exactly be a default.
The world would see it our way if we quantified their loss too and provided aid.
China needs to be held accountable at some level for a worldwide panic. If this originated in the US every country would be lining up with their handout like US small businesses are now. And we would pay. China is way too powerful of a country to continue letting them play by third world rules, just because they keep such a high level of their population in poverty.

China doesn't hold as much of our debt as they used to hold.
Japan holds more than China
Japan 1.2 Trillion
China 1.0 Trillion
Most of the US debt is owed to ourselves.
Treasury owes 6 Trillion to other government agencies.
3 Trillion of that is owed to Social Security
In all the US public is owed 17 Trillion of the debt.
Which is funny when you think that it is the US public who owes the debt to the government which owes it back to the public which owes it back to the government ...

If this is true (not doubting just not looking it up), that is a negotiable number.
Trump wanted to be tough on China, here is his chance. The entire world knows they lied. The memes are funny but if they don’t have some level of accountability they will walk all over the rest of the world.

The Basics:
Most US debt is not payable to “China,” but rather to the “holder.” If the US were to attempt your moronic proposal, it would have ZERO effect.
If “China” held a $100 debt instrument, they would simply sell it to “Czechia” for $99.95, and Czechia would get paid by the US ... with a small profit.

Explain your position. Why is liquidating the loss to the U.S. by China stupid?
And why is satisfying that liquidated debt also stupid?

You sure do spend a lot of your time here considering you basically just call everyone stupid
Seems like you could find a place on the internet with more interesting content. Perhaps a YouTube wormhole into the Doobie Brothers?

I’m not at the point of endorsing this as an alternative, but we are quickly reaching the point if we haven’t already, where any possible way of getting us out if this mess is going to be scary if not downright terrifying.
I mean, what’s the benign “solution” here to any of this at this point?

Someone skipped Torts far too many times and doesn’t know debt collector practice basics enough to comment about it .

My postings in this topic aren’t narrowed to only FDCPA, which has zero application in an international debt dispute, Aggie. Go frick a goat, yell leader.

You are the one who raised the “debt collector practices” as an issue, dimwit.
US debt largely takes the form of negotiable instruments payable to the “holder.”. Your “proposal” is braindead-level stupid.
