The National Debt, Do You Worry About It?

Over a trillion in deficit spending now. Even if they eliminate all of that they'll hardly budge the debt.
Can never pay off. Too late. Mathematically impossible. Ride the flat down to the rims.

Good luck. The Democrat solution will be to tax us into oblivion.
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done

Till he has no dough

Bottom line is: something has to be cut and both sides are responsible, so both sides need to make a deal that everyone is unhappy about. Will that happen? Doubt it, we are doomed.

Trees can only grow so tall, they don't go to the sky.
Unfortunately this is not going to end well
Real Estate and 7 SP500 companies is all we got. Expect more bunch apartments and people sitting on 2-3% mortgages. It costs the US government nearly nothing to borrow more USD (it just borrows more to pay back old loans), but people are willing to trade their finite resources for $.

Uh oh. Am I getting a bad vibe that the red region is a goner?…
Could be?

One persons solution:

-First, STOP THE BLEEDING — Cut federal spending levels for Fiscal 2024 from the bloated levels of Fiscal 2022 and 2023. Federal spending in Fiscal 2023 was 40 percent higher than the pre-COVID levels of Fiscal 2019.

-Create a statutory Fiscal Sustainability (or Debt) Commission to educate and engage the American people with the facts,

-Adopt a Federal Fiscal Responsibility Constitutional Amendment that would limit the growth of government and cap debt/GDP at a reasonable and sustainable level absent a formal declaration of war or limited and unexpected circumstances with a super-majority vote in Congress.

Sooooo….. they cannot vote themselves a pay raise? The $ is built to debase. Man’s nature is corrupt. Triffins dilemma creates a monetary reserve currency problem with other countries looking to cut you.
