Who would be willing to buy US debt after that?
you know what...im not touching that with a 20 foot pole.
check out steve keen and michael hudson maybe they mention something about govt debts. debts that cant be repaid wont, thats when its time for a write off. they should defintely write off the student debt and mortgage debt back in 2008. theres just way too much consumer debt.

OMG who cares
When comments such as yours hit the airwaves something in the American psyche simply snapped. What people like you are demanding is more sacrifice from the Greatest Generation. A generation that has already sacrificed enough for sake of this nation and because of them chances are your generation will not have to sacrifice anywhere near as much.

Judge me.
Maybe if you can't survive this cold virus, your time is up?
Wait until you see the sacrifices we're going to have to make if everything remains shut down. We'll think of 2008-2009 as the good old days. Which is why a $6 trillion starter bailout package is on the table right now.
A 90 year old born in 1930 didn't fight in WWII. Their parents were the Greatest Generation. That being said my father is 81, mother 76. I want them to go gently from old age, not gasping for air. But before laying on the guilt today's 90 year olds are the parents of today's Boomers. They experienced the country's greatest era of prosperity and accumulated wealth. It was in the latter half of the Boomer generation that it became difficult to get raises and keep up with inflation as the economy changed to a service economy and manufacturing moved offshore. So don't tell all of us living paycheck to paycheck for decades how little we've sacrificed. What should be focused on right now is getting past this virus and keeping the middle class intact. Otherwise we will know misery unlike any period since the Great Depression if not the Civil War.
k whatever parappa
yea but overwhelming hte hospital system and 3% death rate of the US population is no joke.
The US has 53,275 cases confirmed right now.
We only have 696 fatalities.
That's a 1.3% mortality rate among those who have been diagnosed.
Where are you coming up with 3%?
its 2 to 3% worldwide last i heard

United States birth rate (births per 1,000 population per year). The Boomer segment for the years 1946 to 1964 is highlighted in red, with birth rates peaking in 1949 and dropping steadily around 1958 reaching pre-war Depression-era levels in 1963
Assuming a 100% infection rate.
Italy is floundering horribly.
But they are still at a 0.11% infection rate.
Don't let emotion cloud your critical thinking skills.
did you let emotion cloud your critical thinking about 9/11?
