    The federal budget deficit was $2.7 trillion in the first nine months of fiscal year 2020, CBO estimates, $2.0 trillion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last year. Revenues were 13 percent lower and outlays were 49 percent higher through June 2020 than during the same nine-month period in fiscal year 2019.

    CBO is the Congressional Budget Office. It's fiscal years run from October 1 to September 30.

    America only ran a deficit one twice in its history before 1914. Once after the Revolutionary War and once after the Civil War. Both times those debts were paid off.

    The Federal Reserve is the sole cause of the US debt. One stroke of the pen can solve that.

    You should learn how money and central banks really work.

    holly shittt. you really habe no idea how these debts are being funded

    do you.



    due to USD's status as reserve currency "investors", which are nothing but money lenders assume USD as a safe heaven asset lend their monies to the US by buying US bonds and notes.

    thats where all your monies came from when your government decides to borrow itself monies. once you cancell your debts and goes default on them with the stroke of a pen, your essentially rendering these investors' investment worthless.

    and when investing in USD and dollar denominated debts are no longer safe ..... they pull out,

    your an idiot.

    All I am going to tell you is this. The only reason any modern currency backed by a central bank has value is that you can pay your taxes with it. It is fiat currency and has no real value. Chew on the significance of that young turdhopper.
