       If I'm reading this right, the US GDP is very close to the US debt. If so, this explains many things.

       @Constantin I was thinking about debt to income. If a person has a debt to income ratio of 1:1, that is no big deal. A mortgage puts one at 10:1 maybe.

       @Constantin GDP is not income, but it's the same principle.

       @Constantin If the debt to GDP ratio is really around 1:1, the debt looks a lot less ominous. Also, the national debt cannot be equated to personal debt, but there has to be a way to frame this so people can understand.

       @bbhack thank you for your explanation. I now have one less reason to drink.šŸ˜ How money works, I think, is an intentional mystery. Those who figure it out are no longer beholden.šŸ¤™šŸ¼
