Really good article explaining what the current situation/challenge is with the National Debt, how it could become a much bigger problem in the future, and ways that it can be improved

Ngl I’ve never really paid too much attention to it and always just assumed we could pay our way out of it because of our currency being so strong, but this s*** kinda got me f***ed up

straight up a non-issue unless you're some rich bloodsucker with money wrapped up in bad investments

Fake problem

How so?

That’s roughly what my view was before reading that whole article but it really got me thinking that a lot of the reasons I didn’t think it was a serious problem before are very short sighted

I’d be genuinely curious if you have good counters to the concerning points they brought up

Okay i lied it is kind of an issue cause interest payments gobblin up money that could go to better causes

Just raise taxes on everybody problem solved but nobody wanna do that in america when we pay the least amount of tax% per gdp

I jus say its fake cause the people who complain about it the most (rich people) dont wana solve it (Pay more money to goverment)
