Does the growing US national debt, currently 22.4 trillion dollars, have the potential to destroy the American economy in the future if not addressed?

Hard to say. MMT says debt isn't a problem as long as the rate of inflation is larger than the increase in debt and if someone keep purchasing the debt. The future will probably be negative interest rates and high inflation.

Anon, you see although debt to GDP is increasing the interest rates have been decreasing and so servicing the debt is becoming easier.

Besides the fed can always print more money which will cause inflation instead of default.

The American economy is dipped in liquid Kevlar and bullet proof. The debt will never be addressed. We'll keep the music playing until the whole thing collapses. Then the politicians will blame previous generations that are dead, and we'll start over with a new monetary system. That new currency will still be the global reserve currency. Whatever the U.S. uses will always be the global reserve currency. The only way that changes is for there not to be a U.S.

However bad you think things might look right now for the U.S., we're looking way fucking better than anyone else. Food independent, energy independent, don't need to import or export. The rest of the world is facing a shit storm in the next 10 years. Especially if the U.S. tells them to fuck off.

America's foreign economic policy right now is like the scene where Lando complains to Darth Vader that he changed the deal, and Vader tells him that indeed he did, and he might change it further. And every other country in the world has to accept that. And that power divide is about to get even greater than it is. America will be fine. Germany and China should be having trouble sleeping.

We can hit the reset button as long as we have the monopoly of power. It’ll be rough going for the poor, but it always is. I wouldn’t advocate for Mad Max levels of prepping, but if you can own your own home free and clear with some land around it and the ability to at least have some chickens and fruit trees, it wouldn’t be the worst idea. There could be a transition period between systems where shit grinds to a halt.

Haha yes we can. Just PRINT MORE MONEY!!
Lel the central bank and other powerful figures store their power in fiat money. Gold and silver belongs to the people, which is why they are afraid of it but the bubble eventually bursts and the pendulum swings back to the people. Real prosperity can be achieved after the value of real money, not currency, is realized.

this, threat of intervention/revokation of security is the only thing that keeps the USD as the fundamental currency of the world.

Money is debt, How can you 'pay' a debt with debt?
You can't!
You can never pay, the only option is go further into debt. Check out 'The Grace Commission'

OP, Those 'Bills' that you think are laws...they are bills, i.e. ways of raising extra funds.

The Burgers never paid the debt for the revolutionary war, The 'Constitution' is a doc that transfers the debt to the American people, Look up what a Constitutor is! You don't need a piece of paper to tell you unalienable rights!

The (((CREDITORS))) have owned Burgerland since its inception in 1776!

Burgers don't understand Burger history!

Hope you are not arguing with this

>OP, Those 'Bills' that you think are laws...they are bills, i.e. ways of raising extra funds.
Those ‘Bills’ have fines attached…these fines pay the interest on the national debt. Hope you have an understanding of ‘The Grace Commission’

>The Burgers never paid the debt for the revolutionary war, The 'Constitution' is a doc that transfers the debt to the American people, Look up what a Constitutor is! You don't need a piece of paper to tell you unalienable rights!
Before we go down this path, history is written by the victors…i.e this is hidden info (hence your unbased schizo comment)
Creditors are the rulers of world, This is difficult to explain in a post, So I will explain in around about way. If you don’t pay a loan property is seized.Seizure is a hostile action by definition.
Have a look at a legal dictionary – the Definition of a Constitutor is someone that agrees to take the debt of another! During the war a debt was built up to France, but evidence would show that France no longer held the debt. The War of 1812 is a big tell of who the creditor of Burgerland is. If you take the time to look up the ORGINAL 13th amendment (the one forbidding titles of nobility), the amendment was ratified, but the British destroyed the evidence. Titles of nobility are Esquire (what Burger solicitors are receive upon passing the BAR (British Accreted Regency).
I will let you do some research on that before I continue, As it is integral & I don’t want to waste my time if you’re not actually interested.
