Like, if you say to someone "The government has too much debt and needs to stop spending and printing money!", they'll be all #metoo.

But try suggesting all the stuff you'd have to cut, to balance the budget and begin paying down the debt, and they'll be like, Nah, bro.

They agree with you, in theory, but not in reality. Or they're just pretending to agree, so that you'll shut up about it.

why pay the debt? just default it

Both the government and the populace prefer inflation to default.

I prefer a default

Until it's actually about to default. Then it always gets spooky

Default would be nuts. 😂 Absolute chaos.

That does not make it incorrect. 😂

You can't escape that pain forever & the longer it goes on... 😜

The longer it goes on, the less acute the chaos and the more time people have to look for an alternative.

If... & they won't.

There was a solution in some cultures in ancient times but you have sweet FA chance of that happening now.

It's a race to the bottom & everyone is too busy trying get one up on the other to bother even considering adjusting course.
