Debt Crisis: The Largest Debt Bomb In Human History is About to go BOOM!steemCreated with Sketch.

in government •  8 years ago 

The media no longer talks much about the national debt and assumptions are maybe the new Trump administration has reduced it by 12B. However, that is not the case; the debts are on the highest level, not only the national debt but also the corporate and personal debts.

According to Michael Snyder’s article, over a hundred years the debt has been on the rise to the level where we are now facing an enormous crisis in the history. The debt saturation has never been experienced in the past, and its end does not look pleasing at all. Most people believe that the crisis began in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was established because since then the U.S debt has risen 6800 times bigger.

The previous government led by Barrack Obama knew exactly what was happening and were able to control the economic depression by stealing over nine trillion dollars meant for the future American generation. The money was fueled by US economy making the federal government have a 20 trillion dollars debt. The corporations and households are not left behind either. The corporate debt is now two times since the last financial crisis, and the U.S consumers have hit over 12 trillion dollars debt.

When all forms of debts are added together, the American debt to the GDP ratio is at 352%. America is not solely experiencing such a crisis because the industrialized world has similar predicaments of a triple digit to the GDP figures. The end of the current debt cycle will bring about an enormous economic pain that has never been felt in the past.

The inevitable consequences of a hundred years of credit expansions likely to bring the world to a misery level that is out of this world. Virtually, the debt of $250 trillion, $500 trillion for the unfunded liabilities, $1.5 quadrillion in derivatives adds up to a $2.25 quadrillion in debt. It is a hassle to tell when this cycle will come to an end because it can be a 2000 years cycle. It is also unclear when it will decline.

There are signs of a global slowdown such as the global trade growth going below 2%, it being the third time since the year 2000. A horrible recession has taken place each of these times. Most countries around the globe are caught up in the web of an economic crisis. Brazil is experiencing its worst recession such that people are starving in Venezuela. Fresh debt problems are evident in Greece, Italy, Europe, and Portugal.

It’s sad that people cannot see that the government, corporate and consumer debt are all growing at a high rate and no one provides a long time solution. Many people are mocking and suggesting of an economic downturn in America just like 2007 especially with the high stoke market valuations. It is a time where the economic condition of America looks kind of great, blinding people to see what is happening.

When asked if Deutsche Bank is indeed the most important net contributor to systemic risks, he replied:

“No, not at all. Only one IMF report has recently muddled up the situation: We are not dangerous. We are very relevant. Deutsche Bank is interwoven with the entire financial sector. We are one of the largest universal banks in the world. But to make it clear: Our house is stable. The balance sheet is healthy.”
When further asked if he can make this claim in good conscience, he said:

“Absolutely. Look at how we have capitalized the bank since the Financial Crisis. We have taken €115 billion in risks off the balance sheet and have €220 billion of liquidity. Concern for us is unfounded.”
Two months later it turned out that concern for us was, in fact, "founded."

Amusingly, when Wolf Richter pointed out Lewis' comments, he noted that "wisely, Deutsche Bank’s elephantine exposure to derivatives didn’t even come up. It’s better to silence the topic to death than to cause a panic with it."

Now, just over two months later, the topic has come up, and this time Stuart Lewis is scrambling to preempt concerns about the dozens of trillions in derivatives, using the same exact rhetoric: please ignore the elephant in the room; Deutsche Bank is fine.

But the biggest irony from Lewis' August appeal to investors was the following: “The good news is: the taxpayer does not have to step in; according to the new regulations for banks, bondholders will get hit first.” If anything, events over the past two weeks confirmed that this will not happen.


Still, perhaps an even more important story ahead of Monday's open is not Deutsche Bank's latest attempt to ease investor concerns about its balance sheet and trillions in derivatives, but Friday's report that global banking regulators are sticking to their guns on capital standards in the face of intense European pressure to soften planned rule-changes.

As Bloomberg reported on Friday, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision will wrap up work on the post-crisis capital framework, known as Basel III, on schedule by the end of the year, William Coen, the regulator’s secretary general, said on Friday. Key elements criticized by European Union policy makers will be retained, according to the text of Coen’s remarks in Washington.

One flashpoint is a proposed new capital floor that caps the benefit banks can gain by measuring asset risk using their own models compared with a formula set by regulators. Coen said “discussions are still under way” on the floor, though Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU’s financial-services chief, called last month for it to be scrapped. deutschebank alone could absolutely destroy the world economy a couple of times over

i think stocking up on the three most precious metals would be a good idea, and concentrating on the cheapest of the three would probably serve you well, cause with a small amount of lead you can easily get a large amount of gold.

The bond bubble is getting closer and closer every day to poppin'. When it does, it will go REAL fast... I don't think millenials (I'm from 1988) has ever experienced this kind of problem..
