It Will Take 6.25 BILLION Man Years To Pay Off Federal Government Liabilities: A Mathematical ImpossibilityMac Slavo They are so incredibly enormous that we cant even imagine what one billion dollars actually looks like, let alone what it takes to generate such capital. And a trillion, or better yet, the $17.9 Trillion that is our national debt?Forget about it! Thats so much money that weretalking piles of cash the size of skyscrapers. But even a visualization like this makes it difficult to understand how much money this actually is. How do we define the sizes of economies? In dollars? Nope. These systems should be measured in terms of a transcendent, invariant unit. Currencies are, by definition, variant, because they are constantly changing relative to one another. This includes the dollar, which is itself measured against a BASKET of other currencies. I propose that GDP should be measured in the unit of MAN HOURS or MAN YEARS. $20 per hour average wage. 2000 hour average work year. Because the buying power of an average man hour or man year shouldnt change much at all. Think about it. So, if we take the latest bee-ess GDP for the former US of $16.8 trillion, and if we use an average wage of $20 per hour, or $40,000 per year, we get an economy of 840 billion man hours, or 420 million man years.u really want your mind blown? Do that same calculation with the debt (now $18 trillion). Now do it with the unfunded liabilities of the FEDGOV (conservatively $250 trillion). 450 million man years, and 6.25 billion man years respectively. Source:Notes for Apres la Guerre Part 2: Banking and Financial Market Theory To put that into perspective, it will take roughly 139 million Americans working non-stop for 45 years just to cover the governments unfunded liabilities at their current levels. Currently there are about 144 million working Americans with about 100 million not in the labor force for various reasons. So, just to pay off those liabilities, every single working American would have to spend the next 45 years of their lives sending 100% of their income to the government. Thats how bad of a situation this is. The arithmetic is clear: Repaying our national debt and unfunded liabilities is a mathematical impossibility. It will never happen. Barnhardt understands the frustrations of many Americans who are fed up with having their livelihoods stolen on a wholesale basis by government, as well as business leaders who claim they are doing Gods work. She has a solution: Since youre probably sitting there thinking that people need to be executed for this mess, let me throw out an idea for how to go about meting out justice for these massive financial crimes after the war. I would simply say that the amount of a theft should be converted to man years, and if the man years-equivalent of what was stolen is in excess of the average working life of a man, say 50 years, then the offense would be a capital offense and execution would be on the table. For anything less than that, the man years conversion would inform the judge or jury as to incarceration terms. So, just pulling a completely random number out of the sky, say $1.6 billion, and converting that to man years at an average wage of $40,000 per year, that is 40,000 man years, which equals exactly twelve feet of rope, which happily, can be reused an almost unlimited number of times. Were talking massive amounts of time and energy here that have been pillaged from the American people, as well as tens of millions of others in Europe and Asia.As Ann Barnhardt notes in her post, the end result can onlycome in the form of widespread warfare and a total collapse of the system as we have come to know it. We are on the tail end of aparadigm built upon debt and false promises. The numbers are now so incredibly large that the trajectory is irreversible. Our banking system, monetary dominance and geo-political influence are at a breaking point and those who want to come out the other side of the coming disaster need to be making final preparations. The U.S. government has war-gamed and simulated these veryscenarios. They know a massive economic collapse is not only on the horizon its happening right now. They also know that as more people lose their jobs, homes and ability to put food on the table theyre going to come looking for someone to blame. There will be panic and violence. There will be bloodshed and war. This is the future that awaits. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared.
