I don't see any way out.

At least no way that involves peace and prosperity

We have become a 20 year old girl with her dad’s credit card. No responsibility.

If that’s what they project then it will be at least 60 trillion.

Having 10 - 20 million illegal's living off Uncle Sugar isn't going to help reverse this massive problem either ...

Great reset is the only way out, govt crests the problem and then tries to solve it.
Even more control and govt regulations.

This is a topic that should be at the forefront of the 2024 election. Yet the "so called" leaders of both parties don't want to touch it.

Also add the Socical Security crisis that is just 8-10 years away.

Our system is not conducive for a politician to have the multi decade forward thinking that will be required to lift us out of this debt.
It will mean austerity and unpopularity, guaranteed to lose your second term.

True. It's a system that chooses leaders using a universal suffrage methodology.

It's impossible to be all things to all people and also make the tough choices that are best in the long run.

This system will fail by design.

BY DESIGN.

It wasn’t designed to fail. That’s dumb.

It will fail because the citizenry failed.

Spending and irresponsible govt in general is clearly the most important voting issue. And yet what % of voters have this in their top 5?

National Divorce.

Let the blue states keep the debt since they fricking love it so much and don’t think it’s a problem at all. Let them print all the money they want and let them fall down to nouveau Venezuela.

If I owe you you a million dollars, I am a slave to you. If I owe $46 trillion, you are a slave to me.
