Martin Armstrong- Debt is destroying everything

Indeed, it is the debt that is now destroying all liberty. There will not be HYPERINFLATION for the bankers are in full control of Congress and the Fed. They are forcing austerity and higher taxes. The excuse is put forth that government will collapse if they cannot pay their debts. The fact that nearly 70% of the total national debt is past interest payments, we are in the last throes of this very dangerous debt implosion. The problem we face, it is EVERY country in Europe including Germany and across the globe to Japan. This is simply the way things are. The bankers are advising against HYPERINFLATION because they do not want funny money. So we have to be concerned about STAGFLATION, rising costs with collapsing economic growth. We are living so far beyond our income that we are living completely unconnected to any productive capacity. The debt can no longer be paid off. It is beyond several generations. Charles Dickens wrote in Little Dorrit that “[Credit is a system whereby] a person who can't pay, gets another person who can't pay, to guarantee that he can pay.” Back in the good old days when the national debt was just $1 trillion instead of $15, President Ronald Reagan made it clear: “We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.” History has proven he was right!
