Not the trend at this time. The only presidential candidate who wants to make it a priority is the Independent, Howard Schultz. Otherwise, many candidates want to increase spending at historic levels.

Every man, woman, and child in America today owes over $66,688 thanks to government spending.

Make no mistake: there will be a reckoning for us, and it will be painful. The longer we ignore it, the worse it will get.

I too feel that Peter Schiff is on to something. It’s kind of hard to disregard a man who predicted the crash of 08’ and went to congress to warn the government. Especially, with the AIIB, Russia and other nations making unilateral currency exchange deals. Its almost as if the writing is on the wall. I just think they are smart enough to do it slowly anything but would be looked at as an act of economic war the same with china selling us back our debt, they have already started, they’re just doing it slowly. I had a battalion commander who once said that “complacency is the number one killer in war and in life” that has always stuck with me and feel there is a lot of truth to this. So, in any case, live your life but just don’t stick your head in the sand thinking nothing bad may happen. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

I remain hopeful that Pres will abolish the Fed Reserve and THAT would be a new beginning ... actually ending the built-in de-valuing of our currency.

Here’s a fun one; pick a year, any year, and google opinion articles from that year saying that the collapse of the dollar is imminent. I’m betting on the dollar doing just fine for quite some time into the future. So yes, I do. This will most likely occur when the Chinese have their state-mandated low birth rates hit them (Wiki the one child policy), and manufacturing shifts both slightly back to the states and more so to other small countries who’s economies are distinctly tied to the dollar. Here’s hoping people don’t mess everything up before then

Before the National Debt could be retired , there would be no currency in circulation ulation . Reducing the debt forces shrinking the economy . That is what it means to be behind on the debt curve . It is impossible to free oneself from a snare , with all the weight hanging by one ankle .
