I think the national debt is about $25 trillion now? The gross domestic product is about $20 trillion.
Unfunded liabilities for provrams such as Social Security and Medicare are tens of trillions more.
The ongoing question, is how all.of this gets paid. It was a question prior to covid and will be with us long after covid.
I like the Penny Plan .. cutting 1% each year across the board
