China has way more issues economically than just debt, plus debt at a national level isn't really overly relevant in actuality - hence why we just keep growing it

De Blasio's wife has to be the ugliest wife in politics....

treasurydirect says 10t while wikipedia says 6.369t I am more inclined to believe the crap government website over the wikibs website 🙂

and keep in mind: if the pandemic didn't start , the debt trump would've added would be $4.2 trillion in his first 3 years instead of $7 trillion

Sup people

that's why it's hard to reduce the debt, because people keep defending the stupid idiots that are bankrupting them

National debt is like impossible to get of probably

🌮

but it's possible to start decreasing it by cutting 1/5 of overall spending

no we can get out of it if we cut spending by 10% for 5 years... by a 10% cut i mean an actual cut... not a cut on projected spending.

I said probably

*hair flick*

I want something good to eat

our point of no return where the interest payment is too high to pay back is around 24T

I look at it this way, all presidents since after the civil war have gone into debt.... every single 1... it is stupid that they allow the debt ceiling to rise year after year... and it is near criminal incompetence that it has spiraled out of control this bad

and if we actually CUT 1/5 of spending the debt starts going down in the next yeat

not true... andrew jackson eliminated the debt... he hated the banks.

Isn't most of the money going to the military

no

not even close lol

*shrug*

actually it's 20% of the budget it's alot

social security and other social programs

are you guys getting the vaccine

No

Right yeah I'd agree the spending is more a problem than then debt itself

social security and military are like 85% of the budget

social programs take up nearly 50% of the budget..

How is everyone doing

social programs- 65 and military around 20-25 %

I thought trump has been trying not to get into war and such

Andrew Jackson was president 1829 to 1837... the civil war took place in the 1860's.....

If so then why is alot of money going to the military

well if you do rub a strong magnet around the syringe kill and nanobots in it

and theres nothing in the constitution regarding the government providing social programs... However, the federal government must have a standing army for protection.

together they make 85% of the budget

yea well 1 is clearly defined in the constitution as a duty for the federal government.

America owes alot of money to China doesn't it?

All I know about the constitution is guns and freedom of speech

trillioons of dollars

China doesn't really have a "stable" currency
