The US debt problem should be taken way more serious than it currently is. Right now, interest rates are much lower because the US dollar is the preferred currency for international trade. And once it isn't, our interest rates are going to rise. Not a dramatic rise, but when you want to spend 1.75 trillion, a raise in 0.1% interest is a lot of fucking money that we don't have. Sooner or later we get to a point of no return where we are either paying all money towards interest and maybe debt without any money going to other programs, start defaulting on debt so sucks for you foreign investors and welfare recipients, or we just run the printer out the wazoo and have bread cost $1.5 billion. That point could be avoided if we get people in congress and the executive branch who aren't spending money like they are addicted to cocaine or think daddy is paying the bills. But with the popularity of Bernie, Warren, and the "Squad" it isn't likely to happen
