According to the NYT, the US government surpassed $30 trillion in debt for the first time ever February 7th. Pop the champagne!

What a wonderful time to have this much debt! 🙂 Interest rates are clearly heading higher, perhaps significantly. What could possibly go wrong?

How did it get this way? Why did we let it happen? Does it even matter?

The US is an oligarchy laughed at by most of the developed world. Doesn't matter if you have Dem or Republican sociopaths running the country. it's a shitshow either way.
