America is the only developed economy with a rising debt-GDP ratio?

    I am unaware of an economic boom going on. I am still trying to get a job.

    But can all fiat currencies crash at the same time? More likely the ones with the highest sovereign debt load first, then the print more and wipe out their stock to flow ratio, and then the next tranche of currencies collapse. The dollar will be last, it will be the collapse of the economy and a barter/gold system that will replace it. Maybe.

    USA is heading downhill to a crash. I dont think Trump can stop it. The dollar WILL crash like all FIAT currencies do. To stop the money printing would mean a substantial depression while things evened out, and NO politician could actually get away with doing this.

    When it becomes an immediate crisis, similar to the recession of 08-09, many people will be saying "hoocudanode" again.

    Well, it used to be considered remarkable that the WaPo (and the NewYellowTimes) would take one viewpoint of a DemPOTUS action, and a completely opposite view of the same action under the same circumstances by a GopPOTUS. Now their hypocrisy is normal. I don't agree with some things that Trump says but the media is biased and the WaPo is at the vanguard of telling such WaPpers.

    At the other extreme is me, I've never read it. :) Much different reference points.

    It's been so long since I have seen a rational unbiased article from the WahwahPoopoo that I occasionally make a judgement based upon that experience when data is made unavailable by WahwahPoopoo.
    ( I refuse to voluntarily assist them in their destruction of my liberty.)

    I don't know why I can open it and read it and other's can't. But isn't saying that all articles published by the Wapo are irrationally biased the same as what the army of Fox News critics do? As individualists, don't we render judgment once we understand the merits of something? Even Marx had some correct analysis of capitalism as incomparable generator of wealth.

    Since Wahwah-Poopoo doesn't allow me to read it, the point of the article escapes me. ;^) Just as well; the obvious irrational bias would likely be insulting.

    It's an article by George Will, and the link works, at least at my end. Of course an article by a conservative statist published by a progressive statist tag seems like a double whammy, but the point of the article is valid, even though the motive of both the writer and editorial board is to mock Trump. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    We could read it if you posted the text, but ironically Wah-wah-Poo wants to be paid for their biased anti-free-market propaganda. ;^)
