> It’s not just US debt that’s a problem. It’s also state level and local level.
It’s also corporate level. Worse than government actually, because the government deficit is caused by several trillion-level tax cuts that were financed by government debt. Corporate debt comes on top of that.
> A lot of the debt is hidden too.
Accounting is even worse in corpo-land.

Again, Wall Street is worse, politicians don't become billionaires - billionaires buy their way into politics.
> Governments are far, far more wasteful and inefficient than anyone realizes.
Compared to corpo-land, governments are frugal.
