The current American debt is more than the current GDP. That would be fine, if we were paying it down, but it's growing faster than ever.

It would also be fine if it was healthy debt. Debt taken to improve infrastructure in meaningful ways, improve education, shit, even a war debt to create an old school tributary state (economically speaking).

And it would all be fine if everyone in the room were adults, and there wasn't a significant portion of America actively and willfully trying to cause governmental collapse.

The American citizen, on average, will spend $37,000 in the next decade to pay the interest on that debt, $12.4 trillion in total.

All without universal healthcare mind you. Or, on average, a reasonable retirement age.

You need to start asking yourself whether the people who keep assuring you not to worry your pretty little head about the APR on your loans, and they are ultimately partly your loans as a citizen, are actually acting in your interest.
