Interest on the debt actually increases the size of the debt. It means we citizens have loaned MORE money to the government. Eventually hyperinflation is the result.

In what way? For good? Or Ill?

I understand that point of view, but you are thinking like one of the defenders of the current banking cartel - not that you actually are one.;^)
They decided to use interest rates because it benefits the cartel, not because it's less intense.
Rates are the most intense on the common customer/citizen who has no choice in the matter and is being robbed by the system.
You have stated that 'someone' needs to manipulate the banking system to stabilize it.
The system has been less stable under the Fed than it was before the Fed.
Prior to the Fed only wars or tulip craziness could cause economic calamity and that was very infrequent.
Since the Fed stole power, it has been one calamity after another.
The only thing that has saved the cartel is the demand for dollars due to the petro dollar.
The system isn't there to stabilize the economy; it's there to benefit the banking cartel.
There is no one who can be trusted to have this power, and that has been proven repeatedly over the past 111 years.
Who has profited from every single calamity? Who has been protected against all losses?
It's obviously only working to enrich the cartel, so let's just keep on doing it.
The very definition of insanity - unless you are the cartel.
Manipulating an economy is never easy and the proof is what a disaster it has been for everyone except the cartel.
The foxes have been controlling the hen house for 111 years. That is never good for the hens.
The people have been treated like cattle to be slaughtered for 111 years by the cartel.
Rates should have never been manipulated to moderate demand by the cartel that caused the demand.
Punishing the victims has been done for 111 years. Time to punish the perpetrators in the cartel.

Human nature of sociopaths. When has any central bank not been used to steal by banksters, shysters, and politicians?

And therefore, instead of raising rates in order to cut down lending, the direct approach would be less harmful to the people and the government budget. Restrict lending by making banks keep greater reserves. That cuts the supply of loans and the lower interest rates do not enrich banksters (even more than usual) at the expense of everyone else. This could have been done for the past 100 years, but no, higher interest rates must be used instead to protect banksters. Thieves and traitors.

And in regard to the water in the area/region we now have Mexico City about to run out of water with Mexico owing (based on a agreement made with Mexico for water from the Colorado) us many years of water...... That agreement was - not the best that could have been made.... and still Mexico City is about to run out of water - and I know that the US will be blamed.......

AT THE TIME....it seemed like the thing to do, to provide power to the areas in the southwest. AT THE TIME there was no idea that so many people would move to the area, because it was so dang hot....and then they extended the power further and further, and with the availability of affordable air conditioning which was not available at the time of the build......so many things going on..... but to answer your specific question, AT THE TIME - I think it was a good project based on the information that was available.

An interesting discussion, and thank you!!!

The really bad part is that the government gets to spend the printed money, and we all have to pay for that later in terms of inflation.

The provisional ballot scam is another one. if y ou dont. have ID, you can vote anyway on a provisional ballot which will count as a real ballot UNLESS somehow its disapproved within 5 days after election day. This is filled with fraudulent intent

maybe the DMV could handle it.....NOT

I have this funny feeling that we are going to get another round of inflation in 2025 even if Trump is elected. There was a LOT of money printed in 2024 by biden that will probably surface in 2025 in terms of higher prices

Besides people receiving multiple absentee ballots in the mail, there is a frighteningly new scam unfolding:
The Rats have devised yet another strategy to steal votes: Foreign ballots.
You may or may not have heard, if you (an American citizen) live or are traveling outside the country on election day, you can request a ballot to vote in any state, regardless of your actual domicile.
The Demon Rats have requested tens of millions of these ballots.
Many times in excess of actual absentee voters!
There is little doubt of how these millions of absentee foreign ballots will be used.
We are fighting the worst kind of treachery against our once proud Republic.

These Traitors need to be exposed and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.. or there is no law.
Such be the case.... All Bets Are Off.

Pray that does not happen.
Ugly will discover a whole new meaning.
