The risk is not with the US. The risk is for the people holding USD and USD debt. It is already risky from arbitrary sanctions, now there is the risk that US will default or just not recognise the debt by not allowing its conversion or its utility.

what happens to the us debt that china owns if ww3 were to happen. does it get voided/canceled or does it still remain?

@tuckerbugeater Месяц назад

That's why created the Great Depression, WW2, and the Marshall plan. You can't say no to those cash injections.

@tuckerbugeater bad analogy when describing an ecomomist. People who share his ideas overstimulated the economy with a combined fiscal and federal spending of $10T and kept rates closed to 0% for longer than needed. This resulted in inflation not being seen in 40 years. Yes, we had supply chain issues, and companies took advantage of the situation, but the economic conditions created the environment for inflation because people had the money to keep spending

@Fried52 Месяц назад

@@Watcher1-jr5lo Not sure what charts your looking at but the yen has been in a major bull market since about 2012. It's actually doubled in value. Now they have had a slow recovery since the pandemic and it has been up and down but long term GDP is basically flat since the early 2000's. There debt to GDP ratio is high but the Jap central bank holds most of the debt. Charts say it's not an issue. Japan is facing a lot of other issues. One being generational growth rates trying to support an increasing older population. Not sure Krugman wrong about this one.

@HeyUGuyz23 Месяц назад

“The problem isn’t the numbers” 🤦‍♂️ Krugman isn’t an economist he is a political activist. He promoted Modern Monetary Theory for the past 20 years which has ballooned the national debt by 400% resulting in a debt to GDP ratio which will exceed 150% by 2030. And he literally eluded to cutting off healthcare for elderly (which Europe currently does). But he won’t admit that MMT has led us to this burgeoning debt crisis.

@chrisbytwerk3712 Месяц назад

We will never be able to pay off the national debt.The only way out is to default.

Taxes = Income for governments . So , logical sense is "Tax the AI robot workers as equal rates as Tax the human workers " is another reasonable financial solution to solve the low tax revenues from current human workers' income tax contributions ?

China 🇨🇳 has been a money-printing machine on overdrive. During the years 1990-2021, the US printed 6.5 times more money while China printed 147 times. - It has printed more money than the US and Japan combined, while its economy is only half of them. - Current Chinese debt-to-gdp is already *highest in the world, at 300%,* according to Bloomberg. - With stimulus and measures, China's debt will be at 400% to 500% of its GDP in the next decade, according to Reuters.

@yannickb8070 Месяц назад

I think this is rather tactical. Saying you don't know is better than admitting that the position you had for the past 20 years on government and monetary policy was dead wrong. This is not humility, it's the opposite.
