Don’t worry about it, they’ll just print the money and inflate their way out of the problem. Virtually every nation is in the same boat. The good news is that you may find your mortgage is a lot easier to pay. The bad news is that if you’re on a pension you’ll suffer to some extent, great or small. If you’re self sufficient, Amish, etc. you can kick back and watch it all on television.

Sooner or later, either the number of employed citizens will increase so much that their taxes will pay the debt off OR taxes will climb so high that it will make no sense to work and the system will collapse.

Legally, we, the people who pay taxes, are responsible. Those who do not pay taxes have no responsibility whatsoever. It's a net sum gain for them, and a net loss for actual taxpayers.

Now if you are asking if we are morally responsible, then that is a totally different question altogether. I suppose we are for some of the expenditures, but certainly not the majority.

No, I’m not reading your link.
The question is simple, and the answer is simple.
As taxpayers, we are directly responsible for paying the debt: taxes you pay are, in part, used to pay the debt.
The theory is the debt occurs to pay for things which will increase the economy and thus increase taxes to pay that debt off.
The scam here is that there is ALWAYS more “good reasons” to spend more than revenue dictates, so we just keep digging the hole deeper - until the debt service consumes more than revenue (actually tipping point is about 20% of revenue). Bankruptcy hits, nobody wants to loan the gov’t money, things turn really bad fast.

Here’s a crazy idea:

In our culture, every competent/capable adult is expected to accumulate financial independence in 30-50 years of work.
Why don’t we expect the same of our governments? After some sensible period of time, we should expect governance to be self-funding - especially when the government can LITERALLY print itself money.

Am I directly or indirectly responsible for the national debt?

Research so far indicates that you are responsible for nine cases of Syphilis in Chicago.

Looks like the original article was written last year and only applied to Canada and Quebec.

Then was changed up a little, and posted here and on the “the fringe” website....

Today.

Links to google.com are provided —FOR REFERENCE ONLY—

The “the fringe” site isn’t the one belonging to the canadian raspberry.

Although a good Bronx cheer might be in order here...

Not responsible. I get no say in how the budget is structured, what is and isn’t funded, or in what amounts, or if I can specify where my tax dollars go for which things I approve of.

If you voted for any politician residing in Washington D.C. you are directly responsible.

The national debt is not mine, no more than my grandparents’ debt is mine.

A deficit is NOT a debt. A debt is a balance sheet item.

A deficit is excess of expenditure over income. Even after a deficit you can still have money in the bank, eg you save for something for a couple of years (not a popular idea nowadays, I know, but possible) and at that point you go out and buy that “something”. In that particular year you may have a deficit because you’ve spent more than you earned, but you are not in debt.

Sounds more like an attempt at a philosophical exercise than anything of real interest - being clever isn’t always....clever.
