Scales and Limits - USA Worth $100 Trillion - Indebted $25 Trillion

By my guesstimates, the USA has $100 Trillion in Assets.

The U.S. Government is $11.5 Trillion in debt, and U.S. Consumers are $14 Trillion in debt, which means Americans are 25% in debt.

If you ever played the game Monopoly, you'll know all the property cards get turned over and turned into the banker when you reach, in this case $100 Trillion.

By these measures, we've got 75% of a heart working,  This means it's gonna take awhile for the USA to get healthy again.

Turn the properties over

The properties will be turned over and stocks will rise.  The reason is say you have $10 trillion floating around the economy.  Then the government either can't control themselves or they come up with this idiotic idea hey if we just pump $10 trillion in giving it to their freemason buddies everyones wages will rise and thus everyone can pay off their mortgages since their wages are now double.  Similar to when Reagan created a massive budget deficit by cutting taxes.

Dilution is the solution to pollution.  Well dilution is not the solution to pollution if you are the owner of the mortgage or you have money in the bank account. 

GET your money out of tbills and bonds, and into stocks, homes, and solid currencies. Best time to do it.  Rogers says commodities lead the way out of a recession.

how debt works

So you say we have $28 trillion in debt and $100 trillion in assets.  If you double the debt, then we have $200 trillion in assets.
