Read today that the Federal government borrows 3.3 billion a day. Do you really think this country can sustain this?

there are those who think we can. and there are those who think there will be an unlimited supply to wealthy to milk. As long as that is the prevailing train of thought, then the country is toast.

Of course it can't. Which is why we need to work together to grow a barter/trade, BTC and green economy outside of the system.

I have heard of bartering chickens for a cup of sugar. you can perhaps barter raw materials for manufactured goods. How many head of cattle or dozen eggs will purchase an MRI machine or a nuclear generator?

B&T isn't a set hierarchy. So the ones making the trade can set the terms of the arrangement .

But since your system isn't going to be put into effect then why does the government seem to think that this amount of debt is good?

Our economic system is/was designed to fail.

I'm not sure what you are asking here...there are plenty of economies self-sustaining themselves that are impenetrable to censorship.
