### Comment:
You should look at US national debt. Ain't nobody has any idea if it'll even get anywhere close to being paid back, because, well, the damn deficit keeps increasing. 
  
 I want taxes increased on rich people and literally every American adult audited, but apparently I'm the crazy one.

### REPLY:
Issuing debt in a currency you can print more of is not the same as issuing debt in a currency you don’t control. 
  
 Issuing debt in a currency that’s the world’s backbone currency *and* which you control is even more different. 
  
 The debt level is still too high (especially in a booming economy) but it’s not nearly as much of an issue as if a private company had debts at the same level.
