The spending won’t stop.

The debt cannot be paid, nor traded.

This cannot end well, and people who think that Armstrong is just wrong aren’t thinking past that short-sighted little quip.

It doesn’t matter if Armstrong is right or wrong, because the spending won’t stop, and the debt cannot be paid, nor traded.

It’s a matter of simple mathematics.

The debt cannot be paid, nor traded.

Why can't debt be paid or traded?

[Rockingham]

How then did Argentina elect Milei and pull back from the brink? Eventually, unproductive and unnecessary spending stops when it can no longer be sustained. For the US, I hope and expect that will come sooner.

Yeah, the math is looking vary bad...annual FedGov deficit: $1.83 Trillion...total FedGov "discretionary spending" (including defense) $1.6 Trillion....cut defense/VA, transportation/interstate hwys., etc. to ZERO and you are still $230 Billion in the red. (With no reduction in the national debt that consumes >$1 Trillion in interest per year....more than the DoD budget). A "bridge too far" for DOGE I am afraid.
