    I know you’re just making a comparison but if you actually paid off the national debt you would destroy the dollar.

    Which you actually don’t want to do unless there’s a viable alternative, which there isn’t atm.

    Really their wealth should be appropriated to build sustainable infrastructure across the globe so we can survive the catastrophe they’ve created without mass death (or minimize it as much as possible). But if you have the political will to do that then you might as well just push the communism button.

      Yeah it was just to make a point to all the hand wringers about the national debt, I don’t actually think paying the debt down is a good thing. Idk that much about it but every time I’ve looked into it I become convinced it’s not an extreme concern, they just shell game the money between the fed and the treasury and delete the money off the balance sheet.
