Visualizing $21 Trillion of National Debt: Which Presidents You Should Blame the Most

Original Source: https://howmuch.net/articles/usa-debt-by-president

rnest Hemingway once supposedly wrote, “How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Hemingway’s observation looks increasingly spot on when it comes to the U.S. national debt, which now stands at well over $21 trillion. A trillion dollars written out is $1,000,000,000,000. That’s 12 zeroes. How did we get here? Our visualization offers a unique perspective, breaking down the debt into the deficits each U.S. President has added throughout American history.

The U.S. Treasury tracks the historical data for U.S. government debt. Overall figures from before 1950 can be found here, and more specific numbers after 1950 can be found here. We should also give proper credit for pulling these disparate sources together to The Balance. We created a 3-D visualization showing the cumulative deficits each U.S. President has added to the national debt in history, where each block represents $3 billion in today’s dollars. All the Presidents from 1789 – 1913 are lumped together at the bottom, but as you move from the bottom up, you can see the color-coded contribution from each administration. The numbers for future increases to the debt under President Trump came come directly from the White House.

There are a few caveats to keep in mind when thinking about this visualization. First off, the numbers represent inflation-adjusted dollars to make a fair comparison over several years. Presidents also don’t have total control over the deficit. For example, the deficit during their first year in office is predetermined by their predecessor’s budget. Fiscal policies are also ultimately set by Congress even if the President submits a budget blueprint for consideration. And finally, deficits tend to grow during economic downturns and times of war and shrink during more prosperous and peaceful times. That’s why some economists prefer to look at deficits as a percentage of national GDP as opposed to overall terms. After all, a “large” deficit might not actually be very big if it’s tiny compared to the size of the economy.

With all that being said, there’s a lot that we can learn from our visualization. Let’s start by looking at the overall picture, namely, deficits only started growing substantially in the last 40 years of American history. Prior to the Reagan administration, the combined cumulative U.S. debt stood at only about $750 billion, which Reagan almost tripled over 8 years. None of his successors then slowed down, with George H.W. Bush adding $1.55 trillion in a single term, followed by Clinton at $1.4 trillion, Bush at $5.85 trillion, and Obama $8.59 trillion, all over 2 terms. Trump is meanwhile projected to add a total $4.78 trillion during his first term.

So the overall trajectory of the deficit is to keep getting bigger year after year. Reagan inherited a national debt of $750 billion, and Trump added almost $779 billion in fiscal 2018 alone. Yes, there are some periods of stabilization or even contraction, but in general, Presidents from both parties keep adding more and more to the national debt.

What does all this really mean? Is the country ever going dramatically change course? It’s hard to say, but the good news is that the U.S. government can still issue debt at historically favorable rates, with the 30-year treasury bill yielding only 3.24% right now. And measured against the size of the entire economy, the annual deficit is still less than5% of GDP even if the total debt is now larger than 100% of GDP. Eventually something is going to have to change, but in the near term it looks like deficits really don’t matter. Remember what Hemingway said, “Gradually, then suddenly.”

In the final tranche closing, the Company raised a total of $750,000 through the sale of 7,500,000 units (each a “Unit“) at $0.10 per Unit where each Unit consists of one share of common stock (a “Share“) and one half of one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.13 until November 5, 2020. All 7,500,000 Units issued in the final tranche were acquired by Southern Arc Minerals Inc. (“Southern Arc“). All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to statutory hold periods in accordance with applicable United States and Canadian securities laws. The Company will use the proceeds from the Private Placement for the advancement of its Idaho-Maryland Gold Project and for general working capital.

Yamana Gold Inc. (TSX: YRI) (NYSE: AUY) (“Yamana“) recently completed a strategic initial investment of C$1.75 million in the Company through the purchase of 17,500,000 Units through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Meridian Jerritt Canyon Corp., in the closing of the first tranche of the financing. Yamana is a Canadian-based gold producer with significant gold production, gold development stage properties, exploration properties, and land positions throughout the Americas including Canada, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.

The Company will file a material change report.

VANCOUVER , Nov. 6, 2018 /CNW/ – Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF, FSE: 2NKN) (the “Company” or “Pacton“) is pleased to announce closing of the Golden Palms property (E 47/3810) acquisition agreement. (Pacton News: Oct 19, 2018 ).

Under the terms of the Golden Palms agreement, Pacton will purchase 100% of the property by paying a total of $100,000 and issuing 400,000 common shares on completion of the transaction.

The Company also announces that it has entered into an option agreement to purchase 12 mineral claims located in the Red Lake Mining Division, Ontario (the “Red Lake Property“), for aggregate consideration of $110,000 and 250,000 common shares to be paid and issued over two years.  The claims are subject to net smelter returns royalties ranging from 0.25% to 2.25%, half of which can be purchased by the Company for $250,000 . The 12 newly acquired mineral claims are strategically located between Pure Gold’s Madsen and Wedge zone ground and Great Bear Resource’s Dixie discovery. In late September 2018 , Great Bear Resources reported a drill intersection of 18.23 g/t Au over a drill width of 10.35 meters in what was described as “crack-seal” style veining typical of the Red Lake district (see Great Bear Resources press release dated September 27 , 2018). Pacton has now consolidated this strategic land position with the acquisition of these claims within a fertile gold bearing district (Figure 2).

KEVIN DOUGAN | JCO- The Rodney D of the Oil Patch

Original Source: https://kdblueskymarketing.com/knock-knock-on-heavens-door/

JERICHO OIL
The Rodney Dangerfield of the Junior Oil & Gas Sector
In my humble opinion… Jericho Oil (JCO) is one of the least respected and most misunderstood companies in the Junior Oil & Gas Sector. Let’s learn and have a few laughs along the way.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I asked my old man if I could go ice skating on the lake. He told me                        wait till it gets warmer.
A barrel of Crude Oil a few years ago was cheaper than a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. I kid you not!!! Those days are over. Oil has more than doubled and is hovering around $65. This means ever increasing profits in upcoming quarters, which should significantly boost share price.
I TELL YA THEY GET NO RESPECT!!!
 
 
 
I told my doctor I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. He told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.
Jericho Oil’s share price is CAD 52 cents, almost at its 52-week low and off over 60% from its yearly high. With oil prices rising significantly this year… something is definitely wrong with this picture.
I TELL YA THEY GET NO RESPECT!!
 
This morning when I put on my underwear, I could hear the Fruit of the Loom guys laughing at me.
Invest with the smart money…Jericho has world-class, patient shareholders (cornerstone investors include the Breen [Ed Breen, CEO, DowDuPont] and Belzberg families…(google them, very savvy investors and business titans). They got in at the company’s inception and provided all important strong equity financing support during the lean years 2015-2017 when others were fleeing the market. Follow the smart money. Money begets money !!!
I TELL YA – HE GETS NO RESPECT!!!
My wife made me join the Bridge Club … I jump off next Tuesday.
The stock is very tightly held…JCO insiders hold ≈ 46% of the 128 Million of the issued and outstanding shares. The top 10 investors own ≈ 70% of the company and are in it to win it !!!
I TELL YA – HE GETS NO RESPECT!!!
 
I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
Jericho with zero net debt, JCO had the cash and foresight during the downturn to acquire a very high-quality portfolio of assets from distressed sellers… at the bottom of the market. Today JCO owns and operates ≈55,000 net acres in Oklahoma… including an interest in ≈16,000 in the prolific STACK Play, which was acquired well below the current market prices.
I TELL YOU THIS COMPANY GETS NO RESPECT!!!
 
I looked up my family tree and found 3 dogs using it.
JCO is laser focused. Its assets are all within close radius in Oklahoma Basin and its team of experts are all based locally, which will keep costs down significantly as the company grows.
 
Last week I told my psychiatrist “I keep thinking about suicide”. He told me from now on you have to pay in advance.
Jericho Oil operates in a very pro-oil, pro-growth jurisdiction—Oklahoma is ranked as one of the top 2 jurisdictions globally for oil and gas investment (source: Fraser Institute). As Texas oil fields dry up the smart money is heading north to Oklahoma.
I TELL YA – WE GET NO RESPECT!!!
 
 
 
 
 
What a childhood I had, when I took my first steps my old man tripped me.
Oil is here to stay- Elon Musk and his exploding cars assures that? The World runs on Oil and JCO has it in spades. Oil is the lubricant that keeps the World Economy humming. Problems in Venezuela and many Middle Eastern nations assure the prosperity and popularity of US Crude Oil and any company with land packages in oil rich Mid -America will thrive for years to come.
 
I TELL YA THIS COMPANY GETS NO RESPECT!!!
 
 
My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met!!!
Management is young, experienced and most importantly extremely business savvy as witnessed by the scooping up of tremendous assets at fire sale prices. CEO Brian Williamson sheepishly proclaimed “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” That my friends and fellow investors, is how fortunes are made !!!
In closing … I hope his article made you smile and perhaps laugh out loud. Trust me – I’m serious as a heart attack when I say this investment game is really no laughing matter. We have been through close to 15 years of a bull market in Tech and Fortune-100 stocks. It is high time to position yourself in high quality junior resource stocks which should boom when money flows into this neglected sector. It sure seems the Dow Jones bull is on its last legs and ran its course.
 
THIS COMPANY WILL BE RESPECTED SOON – JUST LIKE MY PAL RODNEY!!!
For those who never heard of Rodney Dangerfield – Enjoy !!!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MecU2keW54I
 
While I am relatively new to the Oil and Gas sector after years investing in Gold and Silver Miners. The same investment principles hold true. Buy Low…Sell High. Sounds simple but 90% of investors can’t seem to embrace that concept. You must be a contrarian investor and seek out the unloved and undervalued companies. The cream always rises to the top… In my humble opinion Jericho Oil fits this to a tee.
Oklahoma is nicknamed the “Sooner State”. I suggest you get into JCO sooner than later ?. Jesse Livermore considered the greatest stock trader of all-time wisely advised “Buy Right & Sit Tight”.

JUNIOR MINING | Contact Gold Raises $635,000 from Sale of Non-Core Exploration Properties

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 5, 2018) – Contact Gold Corp. (TSXV: C) (the “Company” or Contact Gold) is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to sell its Golden Cloud and Santa Renia properties to a subsidiary of Waterton Precious Metals Fund II Cayman, LP for cash proceeds to Contact Gold of $635,000 (US $485,975) (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction is consistent with the Company’s stated objective to derive value from its non-core exploration assets. The Company is focused on advancing its flagship Pony Creek project on the southern Carlin Trend, neighboring Gold Standard Ventures’ Railroad project.

Closing to the Transaction is subject to a regulatory approval, applicable Canadian securities laws and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSVX”).

About Contact Gold Corp.
