US Election Discussion

By the way, here's a fun little game we can play while we are on the subject of debt; the current US GDP is 15.09 trillion as of 2011. The current US DEBT is 16.2 trillion. Using math and logic, will higher taxes change anything? The tax rate on EVERYTHING in the country would need to be around 107% to fix this debt in a timely fashion, as of today. Hell, I'll even throw you a bone and say 2 years is still a timely fashion; 53% tax rate. 53% of everything everyone earns in this entire country for an entire year, ASSUMING the debt stops increasing as of today, which it will not, since Obamacare is no longer out the window. I expect the debt to be over DOUBLE the current figure by the end of his second term if nothing is done, in which case, what's happening in Greece right now will look like a stroll through a meadow compared to the situation that we will have on our hands in 4 years.

Good thing there are financial instruments that let one make money when the economy is tanking and the stock market is going down.
Just invest in put options or whatever, and watch the cash roll in.
The only trick is to know when to covert the cash to ammunition, gasoline, and non-perishable foodstuffs.
But I'm sure you'll give Southperry plenty of warning.
