1인당7억빚 지고 있는 미국 > 음 모 론

미국 국민들은 1인당 7억원을 빚지고 있는가,,,,

많은 론건맨 요원 분들이 미국화폐를 발행하는 Federal Reserve 가
미국 과는 상관없는 (모 집단에 의해 창설되고 운영되는) 사금융 회사임을 알고 계실겁니다

미국 정부는 이 회사를 통하여 국채를 마구마구 발행하며 돈을 빌리고 또 빌리고 하여
달러의 가치가 실제로는 현 시세보다 너무나 하락해 있다는 우려가 있습니다

이러한 금융 전문가들에 따르면

2013년 현재 미국 정부가 공식적으로 밝히는 우리돈으로 2경원 (16 trillion dollars) 정도가 아니라

(이전에 이 사이트에 글 올리신 두 분이 몇백조 몇천조로 각각 올리셨는데 잘못 환산하신거구요,,,,)


정부가 공식적으로 포함시키지 않았다고 밝히는 요인들을 모두 포함하면

실제로는 2008년 10경원 이상 ----> 2013년 20경원이 넘는다고 합니다 (200 trillion dollars+)

이금액을 3억이 넘는 인구로 나누면 1인당 7억원 이상의 빚을 지고 있게 되는군요

Our $100 Trillion National Debt

By Bill Walker

August 7, 2008

DIGG THIS

 

The "official" debt of the United States isonly around $10 trillion dollars as of August 6, 2008. This is a manageablenumber; we could pay it off in a few decades if we quit buying luxuries likefood and clothing, and take a few other minor economy measures. Unfortunately,the "$10 trillion" number was produced by government accounting,which among other things allows one to ignore Social Security, Medicare, andthe new prescription drug benefit. This is like ignoring rent, food, andutilities in your household budget… it will lead to a few bounced checks. Ourreal debt is about ten times higher.

 

Who says so? The President of the Dallas Federal Reserve,Richard W. Fisher. In a May speech at the Commonwealth Club of California, hestates that the US national debt is close to $100 trillion. You can read his wholespeech at the Federal Reserve web site.

 

The Real Debt

 

Here is what he said regarding the actual US debt:

 

"Add together the unfunded liabilities from Medicareand Social Security, and it comes to $99.2 trillion over the infinite horizon.Traditional Medicare composes about 69 percent, the new drug benefit roughly 17percent and Social Security the remaining 14 percent."

 

Interested readers will notice that the new prescriptiondrug benefit is projected to be more fiscally crushing than all of SocialSecurity.

 

Mr. Fisher points out that this $99.2 trillion will be abit of a burden to pay off:

 

"Let’s say you and I and Bruce Ericson and everyU.S. citizen who is alive today decided to fully address this unfundedliability through lump-sum payments from our own pocketbooks, so that all of usand all future generations could be secure in the knowledge that we and theywould receive promised benefits in perpetuity. How much would we have to pay ifwe split the tab? Again, the math is painful. With a total population of 304million, from infants to the elderly, the per-person payment to the federaltreasury would come to $330,000. This comes to $1.3 million per family offouru2014over 25 times the average household’s income."

 

$120 trillion: The shockingtrue size of our nation's debt

The Congressional Budget Office released a new report this week showingthat the federal government’s publicly held debt would top 101% of GDP by 2021,more than the value of everything produced in this country over the course of ayear. Think of it like owing more on your credit cards than your entire familyincome. By 2035, the publicly held debt, CBO says, could top an almostunfathomable 190% of GDP.

 

And that was the good news.

 

The federal government actually has three different types of debt. Debtheld by the public, which generated the headlines in the CBO report, is thetype of government bonds that you — or the Chinese government — might own.Economists worry a lot about this type of debt because the government has toborrow the money from private credit markets. The government borrowing competeswith investment in the nongovernmental sector, leaving less money available forprivate investment in such things as factories and equipment, research anddevelopment, housing, and so on. Growing levels of publicly held debt can driveup interest rates in the long-run, and may already be choking off interbanklending.

 

But that’s not the only type of government debt. For example, there is“intragovernmental” debt, which is essentially debt that the federal governmentowes to itself, such as debt it owes to the so-called Social Security TrustFund. If publicly held debt is like the money you borrowed from a bank,intragovernmental debt is like the money you swiped from your kid’s piggy bank.It may not be on your credit report, but you still have to pay it back.

 

Today, intragovernmental debt exceeds $4.6 trillion. The good news here isthat intragovernmental debt is not projected to grow much in the future. Thebad news is that that is because both Social Security and Medicare are alreadyrunning deficits — there’s nothing left to steal.

 

As if that’s not enough, there is also a third category of government debt:“implicit debt.” This represents the unfunded obligations of programs such asSocial Security and Medicare — the amount that those programs owe in benefitsin excess of the amount of taxes that they expect to take in. Think of it asbills you know are going to come in next month but haven’t been delivered yet.

 

According to the annual report of the Social Security system’s trustees,that program’s unfunded liabilities now exceed $18 trillion. Medicare is ineven worse shape. The most recent estimate of its finances, also released thisweek, warns that Medicare owes $36.8 trillion more in benefits that it isexpected to be able to pay for. And that is the optimistic outlook: It assumesthat all the projected savings from President Obama’s health care reformactually happen as promised, something that even Medicare’s own actuaries aredeeply skeptical of. If those savings don’t materialize, Medicare’s debt couldactually top $90 trillion!

 

Add it all up, and total US debt actually exceeds 900% of GDP. That’ssomewhere in excess of $120 trillion. We are beginning to talk real money here.

 

The CBO also contains bad news for those who believe that we can fix thisproblem simply by cutting “fraud, waste and abuse.” As CBO points out, theprojected growth in the debt “is attributable entirely to increases in spendingon several large mandatory programs: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and(to a lesser extent) insurance subsidies that will be provided through[Obamacare].” There is simply no way to deal with our debt problems withoutreforming those entitlement programs.

 

Finally, the CBO report makes it clear that we have a debt problem becausespending is too high, not because taxes are too low. In fact, even though taxesare currently at a near historic low as a proportion of the economy, that islargely a result of the recession. If the economy returns to normal growthrates (a big “if”), federal revenues will not only rise, but will actually behigher than the postwar average percentage of GDP by the end of the decade. Infact, this will happen even if the Bush tax cuts are extended and theAlternative Minimum Tax AMT continues to be patched.

 

GOP lawmakers who left negotiations with Obama this week over hisunwillingness to pledge no new taxes understand this. The problem is the moneygoing out, not coming in.

 

We face a simple choice: Cut spending or face fiscal catastrophe. Thequestion is: Is Washington listening?

Economist Says Real US Debt is$200 Trillion

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Dr. Eowyn | 5 Comments

 

This is trulyfrightening.

 

A BostonUniversity economist, LaurenceKotlikoff, maintainsAmerica’s national debt is actually much much higher than the already terrible$13.5 trillion. Kotlikoff thinks it’s 14 times bigger — $200 trillion!

The scary actual U.S. government debt

 

By Neil Reynolds - Globeand Mail - October 27, 2010

 

BostonUniversity economist Laurence Kotlikoff says U.S. government debt is not$13.5-trillion (U.S.), which is 60% of current gross domestic product, asglobal investors and American taxpayers think, but rather 14-fold higher:$200-trillion – 840% of current GDP. “Let’s get real,” Prof. Kotlikoffsays. “The U.S. is bankrupt.”

 

Writing in theSeptember issue of Finance and Development, a journal of theInternational Monetary Fund, Prof. Kotlikoff says the IMF itself hasquietly confirmed that the U.S. is in terrible fiscal trouble – far worse than theWashington-based lender of last resort has previouslyacknowledged. “The U.S. fiscal gap is huge,” the IMF asserted in a June report. “Closing the fiscalgap requires a permanent annual fiscal adjustment equal to about 14% of U.S.GDP.”

 

This sum is equal toall current U.S. federal taxes combined. The consequencesof the IMF’s fiscal fix, a doubling of federal taxes in perpetuity, would beappalling – and possibly worse than appalling.

 

Prof. Kotlikoffsays: “The IMF is saying that, to close this fiscal gap [by taxation], wouldrequire an immediate and permanent doubling of our personal income taxes, ourcorporate taxes and all other federal taxes. America’s fiscalgap is enormous – so massive that closing it appears impossible withoutimmediate and radical reforms to its health care, tax and Social Security systems – aswell as military and other discretionary spending cuts.”

 

He cites earliercalculations by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that concluded that theUnited States would need to increase tax revenue by 12 percentage points of GDPto bring revenue into line with spending commitments. But the CBO calculationsassumed that the growth of government programs (including Medicare) would becut by one-third in the short term and by two-thirds in the long term. Thisassumption, Prof. Kotlikoff notes, is politically implausible – if notpolitically impossible.

 

One way oranother, the fiscal gap must be closed. If not, the country’s spending willforever exceed its revenue growth, and no one’s real debt can increase fasterthan his real income forever.

 

Prof. Kotlikoff uses“fiscal gap,” not the accumulation of deficits, to define public debt. Thefiscal gap is the difference between a government’s projected revenue (expressed intoday’s dollar value) and its projected spending (also expressedin today’s dollar value). By this measure, the United States is inworse shape than Greece.

 

Prof. Kotlikoffis a noted economist. He is a research associate at the U.S. National Bureau ofEconomic Research. He is a former senior economist with then-president RonaldReagan’s Council of Economic Advisers. He has served as a consultant withgovernments around the world. He is the author (or co-author) of 14 books: JimmyStewart Is Dead (2010), his most recent book, explains his recommendationsfor reform.

 

He says the U.S. cannot endits fiscal crisis by increasing taxes. He opposes further stimulus spendingbecause it will simply increase the debt. But he does suggest reforms that wouldhelp – most of which would require a significant withering away of the state. He proposesthat the government give every person an annual voucher for health care,provided that the total cost not exceed 10 per cent of GDP. (U.S. health carenow consumes 16% of GDP.) He suggests the replacement of all current federaltaxes with a single consumption tax of 18%. He calls for government-sponsoredpersonal retirement accounts, with the government making contributions only forthe poor, the unemployed and people with disabilities.

 

Without drasticreform, Prof. Kotlikoff says, the only alternative would be a massiveprinting of money by the U.S. Treasury – and hyperinflation.

 

As formerpresident Bill Clinton once prematurely said, the era of big government isover. In the coming years, the U.S. will almost certainly be compelled todeconstruct its welfare state.

 

Prof. Kotlikoffdoesn’t trust government accounting, or government regulation. The officialvocabulary (deficit, debt, transfer payment, tax, borrowing), he says, isvulnerable to official manipulation and off-the-books deceit. He calls it“Enron accounting.” He also calls it a lie. Here is an economist who speaksplainly, as the legendary straight-shooting film star Jimmy Stewart did for anearlier generation.

 

But Prof.Kotlikoff’s economic genre isn’t the Western. It’s the horror story – “andscarier,” one reviewer of his book suggests, than Stephen King.
