Do you have any data that the US is on its way to a debt crisis?
It sounds to me you're just repeatedly and wrongly assuming that we're somewhere near a point where paying our bills is an issue. Like Detroit. Except Detroit is bankrupt, and the US is growing.
There is no similarity between "debt issues" of Detroit and the US. None.
- NoPiece 13y agoYa I have data, here is the current debt: $16,744,814,606,837.32 Or how about a quotations from our president: The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
