Picklebobble2 Yes, I concern myself with that too for the sake of the country's survival itself. I think what concerns me the most is the debt distribution that's taken place since about 1917 when the US started borrowing money and having established a 'debt ceiling' in the first place.
Where 60% of America's national debt is held is with foreign countries who loaned the USA huge sums of money of which the US has never paid back, but instead keeps running a proverbial bar tab with them.
The remaining 40% of national debt is held by Corporate America and private investors including American banks and mortgage lending institutions.
The problem is, the interest-owing ALONE on that bar tab I speak of is now $1Trillion annually with no payment made whatsoever to the principle balance owed. That amount represents 45% of ALL taxes collected by the IRS annually, just to service America's annual interest payment on their National Debt.
It's one thing to owe your creditors money, but it's quite another thing to have other Nations as your primary creditors whom you have no control over, nor are any of them obliged to cut America some slack, particularly when Trump wants to impose tariffs onto THEM to sell their goods in the USA!
What Trump doesn't realize is that America is not the one dealing the cards at this poker game, but he pretends to the world that he owns the American casino.
