You Are Welcome, Fed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Before (as in 3 hours ago)

 

And after (as in right now)

 

You are welcome, Federal Reserve.

Oh and sorry everyone else, the US government still owes you over $12 trillion in "debt held by the public" which will never be repaid in its current form.

Tyler(s), I hope you're sending them a bill for your time.  I'm thinking $150,000 per hour ought to cover it.  ;)

How about the 10 trillion of Iraqi dinar reputed to be held by the USGov at $0.001 per dinar helping to valance the books.

The vaunted Iraqi dinar revaluation is upon us according to the Fed, LOL.

Agree.  Bet the FED will say:  "The check is in the mail".

The FED is also telling us "It's coming out of your paycheck."

Yay!

"Oh and sorry everyone else, the US government still owes you over $12 trillion in "debt held by the public" which will never be repaid in its current form."

Awwww.  That's OK, I only care about things in nominal terms.  Just like the Fed and everyone in the government.

"A trial in the absurd."

I mean seriously "Whadya mean we aren't inflating it all away?" Man, I hope people aren't living in high tax jurisdictions!

Once the S&P declares those debts unplayable...er, I mean unpayable "that's a lot of benefit checks that will be voided."

If anyone who really works for a living fucked up that badly they'd be out on their earhole quicker than you can say fuck-up.

Government workers get pensions and/or severance packages.

I guess that's what a 'soul' is worth.

'soul' being a concept of self worth - I'm an atheist.

That "mistake" was made in the correct direction.  The person responsible would have received a huge bonus if no one noticed.  Just like the weekly job number is always revised upward, the workers are told, if you are going to put out the latest deficit number make sure it is on the low side.
