Chapter 996 A pessimistic future

"If you don't go to the White House, what are you going to do? I mean, in your daily life."

"I'm not sure, maybe, travel? Then practice the piano, and do some other hobbies, such as running a band, buying a band or something."

Carter shrugged frivolously, knowing what Rick wanted to say.

It’s nothing more than that. There will be plenty of time to enjoy life in the future, so before that, go to the White House. Not only will your life be fulfilling, but you will also be able to expand your network and so on. Maybe one day in the future, you will become a new mountaintop.

and so on.

The problem is that we haven’t gotten back to the root!

In other words, Lao Bu cannot be re-elected and is stuck at such an unstable moment.

Carter didn't know much about Lao Bu's re-election defeat. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some third party force, the so-called independent candidate, disrupting the situation, but to be honest.

If he doesn't understand what happened in history, it doesn't mean that Carter doesn't understand the power game in the United States. No matter how many differences the donkey and the elephant have, they have always been unanimous on one thing, and that is: kill the third party.

!

In other words, fundamentally speaking, no matter whether they are independent candidates or other parties, they play a very small role in the U.S. election. They are basically just a supporting role. So, the reason for losing to Dunzi.

It’s actually not hard to guess, isn’t it?!

"I don't know if you have read some recent reports about our actions in Panama. The public opinion is very bad. Mr. Bush and the others are probably having a headache now. Money has been spent! From the beginning of war preparations, it is real money

I rolled my eyes and smashed it in, but until now, I probably won’t be able to get the canal back, the resistance is huge!”

"As a result, the cost of this war cannot be recovered through Panama. So where do you think the money will be transferred? Who will bear the war funds?"

When Rick heard this, his eyebrows jumped. He was also not a guy who concentrated on the army. Naturally, he didn't have the idea that soldiers should not think too much and just hit wherever they pointed.

He seemed to understand what Carter was talking about.

"You are saying that this will cause the domestic economic situation to continue to deteriorate, leading to four years from now."

"It's very possible! Although the stock market crash of the year before last came and went quickly, on the surface, the revenue of major companies was stable and there were no problems with their fundamentals. But there is one situation that we cannot ignore: the decline in market confidence

decline!"

"The current economic activity is significantly lower than before. In the past, during Mr. Volcker's high-interest era, without taking inflation into account, what hindered our economic development was high interest rates. But you see

Now, interest rates have dropped, but what about investment? Investment has shown a sluggish state, and it has been decreasing year by year almost year-on-year."

Carter sighed slightly. As the size of the business increases, it is greatly affected by the general environment. And changes in the general environment are difficult and difficult.

"In this case, the most we can say is that we have ensured that the basic life of most citizens will not be a problem. But it is difficult to make money! At this time, coupled with war actions such as Panama, if these costs continue

If you pass it on to them, what do you think will happen in the future?"

"First of all, this part of the cost must come in the form of national debt! I bet you that it comes from the national debt, the drinking water we drink now, the bullets in the guns, the beer at night, cigarettes, etc. The market

Times when confidence is low and investment is sluggish are often good for the bond market. Because the bond market will be more stable, right? As long as the underlying company does not go bankrupt, it will be paid with interest upon maturity. What kind of company's risk resistance ability can be strengthened?

What about the United States?"

"When bond financing became easy, corporate money was not used to expand production, but was invested in the bond market, which meant that it was difficult to increase residents' income and the number of new jobs would be reduced. However, the government

When issuing bonds on a large scale, don’t forget that all the money must be repaid.”

"Increase taxes! Then increase the tax rate from residents. I understand what you mean!"

When the topic came to this point, Rick completely understood what Carter meant. He was very pessimistic about Bob's re-election. By the same token, he was a little pessimistic about his own future and his original plan to go to the White House.

This idea is easy to understand:

The United States wants to fight a war, and it needs money to fight the war, and the money comes from national debt. That is, the United States borrows money to fight the war. Who does it borrow money from? Corporate capital! The money of corporate capital is lent to the federal government, leaving them with no money to expand production. This

As a result, the number of workers will be relatively stable. However, the population will increase significantly. In particular, there will be a large number of young people of working age who need to work every year.

If they don’t work and have no jobs, it will mean that the cost of living for many families will increase. At the same time, the U.S. federal government also needs money to repay these national debts! And its source of revenue, taxes

So this means that the more national debt is issued, the more tax revenue will need to be synchronized in the future! Otherwise, where will the money come from to repay it?

As a result, the cost of living among the people will increase again. Income remains unchanged, but the cost of living continues to soar, and this will continue for several years.

Yes! You are fierce with others and win most of the battles you fight, but my life is getting more and more difficult. Human beings are born and will always be selfish animals.

For most Americans, they don't care whether you win some battles. Because they don't understand and have no interest in knowing!

It's like, in the future, almost every Chinese person will know where the United States is, what its approximate population is, and its high level of science and technology. But many people don't know the situation in African countries such as The Gambia and Ethiopia.

People are all attracted to the strong! To put it nicely, it is a matter of seeking wisdom after seeing the talents. The United States has been our pursuit target for many years, so we understand. But countries that are weaker than us rarely pay attention to it. By the same token,

For today's Americans, the United States represents power and invincibility, and they have no intention of understanding other countries.

Anyway, they are all spicy chicken!

If you don't even have the intention to understand those international things, then you won't feel anything. If you lose, it will make the people dissatisfied: Why can't you beat such a weakling? Can you do it? No.

Come down!

It can be said that in today's United States, if international interests are not considered, war is actually a very uneconomical business for the United States. There will be little benefit if it wins, and it will be even more unlucky if it loses.

Carter even thought about what was behind this so-called "just cause".

The answer is also simple: canal!

If we win the canal, the revenue generated by the Panama Canal in the future can be used to repay the national debt. But if we win the canal, we cannot get it back.

Carter remembered that historically, the Panama Canal was never taken back!
