“The man enslaved to wealth can never be honest."-Democritus

Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836), who once said: "I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."

"This is the age of the Rothschild, there is only one power in Europe, and that is Rothschild." Werner Sombart, in his book The Jews and Modern Capitalism

“All the perplexities, confusion and distress arise not from the defects of the Constitution, not from want of honour and virtue so much as, from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.” John Adams

Yes, debt automatically increases no matter what we do. The more we try to pay it off using debt-based currency, the further into debt we go. America has become more a debt 'junkie' than ever before, with total debt of $48 Trillion with the highest debt ratio in history.

72% ($35 trillion) of total debt was created since 1990, a period driven by debt instead of by productive activity.

And the above does not include un-funded pensions and medical promises.

Can the production of debt forever replace the production of goods and savings?

Below are two graphs. We may dispute them, but regardless of what graph we use, we cannot forever borrow our way to prosperity. The debt game depends on investor and consumer confidence. The higher the debt, the shakier the illusion, and the more severe a crash. Therefore we must go ever-further into debt to maintain the illusion.

Debt is here defined as all U.S. debt (sum debt of federal and state & local governments, international, and private debt, incl. households, business and financial sector debts, and federal debt to trust funds).

Last year's total debt of $48.4 Trillion was 11 times higher than the $4.6 Trillion debt in 1957 (both measured in inflation-adjusted 2006 dollars).

The ratio of debt to national income is climbing faster and faster, which means the economy has been performing with less debt productivity each year. Therefore it requires more and more debt each year to produce a dollar of national income than the year before. Our “economic expansion” is merely an expansion of our hole.

This, like a drug junkie, our economy demands the generation of more and more debt each year to survive. The debt ratio has now reached 460% of national income, and it climbing faster all the time.

Stated differently, in 1957 there was $1.86 in debt for each dollar of net national income,. In 2006 there was $4.60 of debt for each dollar of national income - up 147%. That extra $2.74 of debt per dollar of national income produced ZERO extra national income. In 2006 alone it took $6.32 of new debt to produce one dollar of national income.

What kind of “productivity” is that? Answer > Negative Productivity.

America used to have an ethic of “pay as you go,” but now it’s impoverishing future generations by accumulating debt.

“No generation has a right to contract debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence.” - George Washington to James Madison 1789

In the first of two graphs below, notice how the more "national income" we have, the more debt we have. And the increase is not proportionate.

It's exponential.
