A tale of our future, What happens when we hit 20 trillion in debt.

It's called HYPERINFLATION and it's what happens when a country goes into excessive debt.

A look at our past from the future.

In, 2012 a loaf of bread cost $1.63

By September 2014, , this figure had reached $15,000 and at the peak of hyperinflation, November 2015, a loaf of bread cost $200,000.

Now, substitute 'Marks' for 'dollars.' and you'll see where we are headed.

Hyperinflation and Weimar Germany

>>>>n 1922, a loaf of bread cost 163 marks.

By September 1923, this figure had reached 1,500,000 marks and at the peak of hyperinflation, November 1923, a loaf of bread cost 200,000,000,000 marks.<<<<

The impact of hyperinflation was huge :
People were paid by the hour and rushed to pass money to loved ones so that it could be spent before its value meant it was worthless.
People had to shop with wheel barrows full of money
Bartering became common - exchanging something for something else but not accepting money for it. Bartering had been common in Medieval times!
Pensioners on fixed incomes suffered as pensions became worthless.
Restaurants did not print menus as by the time food arrive…the price had gone up!
The poor became even poorer and the winter of 1923 meant that many lived in freezing conditions burning furniture to get some heat.
The very rich suffered least because they had sufficient contacts to get food etc. Most of the very rich were land owners and could produce food on their own estates.
The group that suffered a great deal - proportional to their income - was the middle class. Their hard earned savings disappeared overnight. They did not have the wealth or land to fall back on as the rich had. Many middle class families had to sell family heirlooms to survive. It is not surprising that many of those middle class who suffered in 1923, were to turn to Hitler (Obama) and the Nazi Party.

This is Obama's plan. Destroy the currency, destroy the economy and then destroy the free civil society and establish TOTAL government control.

And he's doing it before our very eyes.

But YEAH, the stock market's up.

Bunch of damn dummies.

You guys have been talking of hyperinflation for four years and running and it ain't happened. 200 grand for a loaf of bread in 3 more years?

Hilarious, that beats Worldly's prediction of $12 ears of corn by ... ehhh, last summer. ;-)

Sarge, your fellow lost, get over it and quit preaching your hopeful failure of America. We are not the Weimar Republic of post WWI Germany, which was a defeated nation being wrung out by the victors of the war. They had little means of production and unemployment in the 60% range. How do you think Hitler came to power? He promised the German people he would "restore our country to its greatness" and "rid ourselves of those who hold us down" then he put them all to work building the war machine that almost conquered the European continent. If anyone was playing Hitler in the recent election, it was the republicons, not Obama.

What happens we hit 20 trillion in debt??

That question is easy. Obama will ask for another trillion dollar stimulus package with absolutely no plan too create an economic engine just a plan to give loans that default and grants to his cronies

hmm and what is magic about $20 Trillion? Particularly when at the time it will be roughly 110% of GDP and historically we peaked at 140% GDP and did not have hyperinflation.
