If you owe someone thousands of dollars that's your problem. If you owe someone 34 trillion that sounds more like their problem.

wrong. impossible to pay it off while maintaining the current power structure, yes. but far from impossible. in fact, barring the country disappearing entirely, the debt being paid off is inevitable, it will just be at USD that has undergone hyperinflation and there will be a lot of suffering during that hyperinflation.

The criminal organization that created the debt doesn't care. Its like that part in Sopranos when the dad of one of his kid's schoolmates went into debt to Tony.
Only difference is we didn't go into debt to these criminals. They just threaten to steal all of our shit if we don't let them steal from every paycheck. |

It’s possible, but it would take many decades and would require in the least a mandatory balanced budget which includes a certain percentage being paid every year.
The problem with a balanced budget is when the politicians want to spend more, they go to the good idea fairy to figure some stupid way to generate more money, so they can spend more money, which usually backfires. Like the dummies who run up credit card debt buying frivolous stuff, a good size percentage of the annual revenue is spent on servicing the debt. The media never explains that to people, or not often enough. People shrug and say “fuck the debt, not my problem,” but it actually is, it costs money. |

Apparently the current new economic toy that the thieves who pay for votes love is called MMT. Get this, these jackasses think they can cure inflation in the currency by taxing the money back to the government. They aren't counting on the fact that the deflationary pains are as bad as the inflationary pains and that trust is what the system runs on. People will get wise and realize that the government's going to claw back what it's given and they'll stop playing the game. |
