I'll turn that question around to you. Please qualify your statement.
I'll add to mine....this country no longer produces any significant quantity of goods. Perhaps we could start manufacturing again.
In other words...you don't have an answer. There is no relation between the federal debt and the current economic depression.
I agree that we need to increase manufacturing, but that's a different discussion.
I've noticed that our bankruptcy courts are full of individuals that 'serviced' the interest on their debt and continued deficit spending until their creditors cut them off. How is National spending any different? I disagree with your statement that we are years away from being unable to service our debt. And please don't counter with the quanitative easing argument, that's paramont to counterfeiting in my book.
Also, you didn't qualify your statement, you simply repeated it.
How exactly do you mean "qualify your statement"?
