You know there isn't really any printing going on, right? (Yet, anyway...)

Monetary base steadily shrinking; M2 up 7% in four years, e.g. invisible.

I know, the "printer" is just symbolic in this, what I try to symbolize is that there technically is no rule that prevents you from spending 2tn instead of 1tn, if you can just change the spending limit. There may be reduced appetite to buy that debt but all that means is you will pay higher interest. Greece could totes borrow unlimited moneys from Deutsche and BNP at 11%, and nothing bad ever happened there, because like those, EU will always bail out Belgian and French (oh hey BNP) systemic banks so they can just keep buying US debt, no problemo.

However, the toxic "government do something" crowd will only grow bigger with each handout, with each subsidy and with each bailout. And that crowd is by far the most retarded crowd, and the biggest, because they're volunteering for slavery.

I don't know if they can keep plugging the holes they make with the endless handouts forever or not, but what I do know is that I do not want to spend my old age as a slave to their system, even though it is costing me dearly.

Best thing that can happen for anyone strong enough or capable of growing strong enough to not need handouts. Pity about everyone else though... not pretty.

But what about the luxury communist boomers? They like handouts and freebies!!

It really depends on where you are. I'm sure that the Nordic commies that basically pushed socialism to its limits through the 80s make you have a lot of these.

From what I know about people's attitudes in countries I've actually lived, this public employment chart somehow aligns with my idea about where you'll find the most boomer commies in Europe: Scandinavia and Belgium. France too though, so they must have gotten lucky with the color designation cutoffs by having 29.9% percent or so, heh.
