yes, I think we figured that out a long time ago, the debt will never get paid off and just keep going upI have come to realize that the amount of debt this nation is in doesn't matter anymore, even if that was $28 trillion or $145 trillion or even $290 trillion, it doesn't make a difference, I used to think wow look at the amount of debt were in but it seems the higher it goes the less it matters.....there hasn't been one thought from anyone at the top to even take notice of this or even come up with ways to eliminate future debts....no one cares and that's the way it will be for a long long time.....
it's going to be a real bitch when after about 6 years Hillary needs to start servicing the debtSize of debt does not matter as long as you can service the debt - low interest rates help.
Of importance is the US is able to use the debt to make more than the debt costs. Being the strongest military and the dollar being the world's reserve currency also gives US more leeway with debt.
