    It’s actually worse than this if you just consider the number of working adults.

    Which is about 165 million.

    Which means every working adult is paying ~$500/m just on the interest.

    Which… Isn’t working, at all, the US is cooked.

      The only good jews is the working class has already been squeezed really hard. We can’t support that debt. The wealthy are going to have to start chipping in

      I know in being optimistic here, but it’s possible for another FDR-type era
