Answer:

If there's one article of faith in Washington (and elsewhere), it's the idea that the United States might get into a debt crisis if it doesn't get its fiscal house in order.

This is not true.

The reason why it's not true is because we live in a fiat currency system, where the United States government can create an infinite number of dollars at no cost to meet its obligations. A Treasury bill is a promise that the government will give you US dollars--something that the United States government can produce infinitely and at no cost.

That's the reason why interest rates on United States debt have only gone down even as the debt has ballooned. That's the reason why Great Britain has very low rates on its debt despite having very high debt-to-GDP. That's the reason why Japan has an astounding debt-to-GDP ratio and still enjoys some of the lowest rates ever. Investors have bet for so long that there would be a run on Japanese debt and have ended up so ruined that in financial circles that trade is called "the Widowmaker". (Here's a more detailed analysis by my former colleague Joe Weisenthal at Business Insider.)

Well, what about Argentina? Argentina had to default on its debt because it had pegged its currency to the US dollar. It wasn't sovereign with regard to its currency since it had to maintain its currency's peg. It wasn't Argentina's debt that caused it to default, it was its currency peg.

What about Greece? Same thing. Greece hasn't used its own currency for ten years. Of course it's going bankrupt.

You don't have to take my word for it. How about Alan Greenspan? He said (PDF): "[A] government cannot become insolvent with respect to obligations in its own currency. A fiat money system, like the ones we have today, can produce such claims without limit."

After all it's already common knowledge among economists, Fed officials, and an increasing number of sophisticated investors.

Maybe so, but it's still not common knowledge among politicians and among the general public. A lot of people still think that the US is under some risk of one day becoming like Greece, and it's distorting our public debate.

It's especially distorting it on the Right, where hysteria about deficits, and debt, and becoming like Greece has reached a fever pitch. Paul Ryan, especially, has framed his entire message on entitlement-cutting on the flawed premise that the US needs to cut its entitlement or it will suffer a debt crisis. This message, in turn, has infected broad swathes of the conservative movement (including very smart people in it), a movement that I consider myself a member of and want to see in strong intellectual health. But very few liberals--certainly no Democratic elected officials that I'm aware of, certainly not the President and the Vice President--are disputing the premise that the US is in any danger of a debt crisis.

In future posts, I will try to look at what the conservative movement can do to move past the idea of the debt crisis, and what it means.

HOPE I HELPED :)

A barrel of crude oil contains about 5.61 cubic feet of oil. How many barrels of oil contained in 1 mile (5280 feet) of a pipeli
8_murik_8 [283]
1)volume of the  pipeline

The pipeline is a cylinder, therefore;
Volume (cylinder)=πr²h
r=radius
h=height of the cylinder

diameter=6 in*(1 ft / 12 in)=0.5 ft
raius=diameter / 2=0.5 ft / 2=0.25 ft.
height=5280 ft

Volume (pipeline)=π(0.25 ft)²(5280 ft)=330π ft³≈1036.73 ft³.


2) we calculate the number of barrel
1 mile of oil in this pipeline is 330π ft³ of oil.

1 barrel of crude------------------5.61 ft³
x----------------------------------330π ft³

x=(1 barrel*330π ft³) / 5.61 ft³=184.8 barrels

3) we calculate the price.

1 barrel---------------$100
184.8 barrels----------  x

x=(184.8 barrels * $100) / 1 barrel=$18,480

Solution: ≈$18,480

What is the domain of the square root function graphed below?
melisa1 [442]
You can see that the function is graphed for every number x that is greater than or equal to zero.

So we write that the domain is x \leq 0.

What is the perimeter of a square with a 13ft side
Dafna1 [17]
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
since it’s a square, all sides are equal so
perimeter = 4s
s = 13
so multiply 13 by 4
perimeter = 13*4 = 52
