‘Developed’ nations now $50 TRILLION in debt; literally, figuratively bankrupt for infrastructure, public services
I continue to factually assert that Benjamin Franklin already “discovered” government can operate without taxes, these superior mechanics were considered so important by Thomas Edison and Henry Ford that they dedicated their 1921 summer vacation as a media tour to communicate directly to the public, and Yale economist Irving Fisher found 86% of economics professors across the US in agreement that creating debt-free money for direct payment for public goods and services is superior to our system of creating what we use for money as debt owed to private banks.
I also factually assert that the US $18 trillion debt, and the so-called “developed” and “leading” nations have total central government debt pushing $50 trillion ($50,000,000,000,000; the linked graphic updated with 2015 data). This accelerating debt is directly connected to these “former” colonial nations creating what is used for money as debt through bank oligarchies. These mechanics are like adding negative numbers forever; causing ever-increasing and unpayable aggregate debt.

Maybe that kind of “leadership” is expressed by three former US Treasury Secretaries interviewed by Sheryl Sandberg, a former Chief of Staff for a fourth former US Treasury Secretary in this one-minute exchange with grandiose laughter about their euphemism for poverty, “income inequality”:
