Person A has a net worth of 2B
Person A has a loan at 500M backed by their holdings
Stocks drop 50%, Net worth is now 1B
Person A buys $500m of stocks
Market Recovers 100%
Person A now has 2B original holdings and 1B gains, $500m owned = 2.5B
Very simple example, and not the only way to do it - but people need to remember net worth being 500B is not 500B in the bank, and at some point the number doesnt matter
you have a fundamental misunderstanding of govermental debt and the US.the US CAN 100%, its not a guess its a fact, spend away their troubles forever.
learn how the global economy is, understand what fiat is, find out what your missing. (first hint, money is a construct - and follow the tbills)
you know what does make the US have to do "painful austerity measures - budget cuts, increased taxes, and the like. It's unpopular to do painful things, but it's necessary for survival" ??
Watch everything the current administration does because they dont understand modern economics and you'll see.
