If we started paying off debt there would be a calamatous asset deflation, very destabilizing as in the 30s.
BUMP
It's gonna happen sooner or later. Not just the debt holders within our nation but nations in which we foolishly owe far more than we have coming back to us in trade such as China. We are soon to reach a point where a few nations can literally shut us down simply by calling in the debt. What will be our solution? Military action? The DEMS and the GOP have gutted the military as well.
