Why does /pol/ care about how big our national debt is? It's not like it affects our daily lives.
>hurr durr there might be consequences
get over yourself. What's the worst that could actually happen?? NOTHING

youre under ZOG. they hold you by the balls-i mean debt. get off of /pol/
>>56808790
The semi-worst would be having to cut sending/increase taxes to pay debts. After that comes default.

You might be right, but what difference does it make if we have a lot of debt?
The US is the reserve currency, if it tanked everyone would be fucked. We have them by the balls!
>>56808790
we are never paying that shit off anyway
>>56809088
this desu
Who's going to make us?
>>56808994
But is a US default actually probable?
I understand it's possible, but no one would ever let that happen.

>do I even have to say anything
>>56809074
heh, no. they have you so deep in their pocket taht you fight their wars and spread their influence.
meanwhile they just give you the feeling of power, while playing you out everytime

Congratulations, OP. This may be among the top ten most stupid statements that I have ever read on /pol/. Hurr, debt does'that matter.
The United States could very well default. I don't see why that would be a problem to the financial establishment. It would make them more money if anything.
The problem with increasing our debt is interest payments. Around 7% of our national yearly budget is interest payment. If we double the debt we double the interest payment.

Prove that it does faggot. Living standards are always going up in this country despite national debt increasing.
Maybe it matters for countries like Greece or third-world shitholes, but the United States is the reserve currency. Debt does not apply.
