$17 trillion grossly understates the real amount of debt (by over $100 trillion) when the unfunded liabilities are included. See bottom line in link:

It’s actually $240 trillion. It will never be paid. Either default or inflation will pay it off. I pick inflation, though not by choice.

This is a problem we could have solved back when Reagan was in office.
