The growth of the national debt, if not stopped, will bankrupt the nation.

Okay, let me be clear here. Because your are misrepresenting the SSI part. I had two parts in it. The first part is the US government have to renegotiate deals every 10 to 14 years. To modify it, you know to make it better. So, yes in 2034 they meaning the SSI will be out of money. But that's only if the government don't renegotiate a new deal before then. And they always renegotiate a new deal 4 to 5 years before the old deal end. The second part of this you didn't even mention. Why Because it would hurt your argument. I said this "The total cost is now about 5% of the national economy, or GDP. That will rise to about 6% when all of the baby boomers are retired". So do you know what this means? It means if ever SSI actually did run out of money which is highly unlikely. It only a small percentage of the country's GDP. SSI running out of money will not dramatic hurt the national debt like some people want to make you believe. It's a fairy tale of lies. You are correct on this part you never brought up the When part. That's because it would hurt your argument. So, i brought it up for my argument. It does matter rather you like to admit it or not. You said "The growth of the national debt, if not stopped, will bankrupt the nation" but when? It not happening right now nor anytime in the near future. So, why does it matter? It like global warming, we need to do something before it too late. But the too late part could take 50 years, a hundred years, or a thousand years. So, when you said the nation will go bankrupt, it doesn't make sense to me when you say this. It not happening immediately, nor no signs of this happening in the near future. You brought up the nation faults five different times. Okay that's true. And what happened to the United States since then? Oh they just grow to the most powerful nation on the planet. So tell me why does this matter? It kind of like the stock market it goes up and way up, and then it go down and even deeper down then it shy rocket again. This what happen every time the market had a crash. So, again even if its ever go down this far it will always go back up. "Many world viewers state that the United States would not go bankrupt because the world economy would not let it as the world economy allegedly feels a US collapse means a world economy collapse, and only God, Goddess, Allah, or other "creator" knows what would result". (10.) https://thelawdictionary.org... "Usually, the inability to pay debt means one has no money. The United States prints its own money. Yet, money used to pay debt is worthwhile only in terms of the debt it pays. If money holds less worth, it pays less debt. This means that it takes more money to pay the same amount of debt. It is a spiral that reduces the worth of money over time. Eventually, the US might run out of trees " to make paper". (11.) https://thelawdictionary.org... This is also true the world economy would not let the US go down this far. Because it would cause chaos around the world. So, China and japan the biggest dept we have is with them, and they would not let the US go down this far as you mention. Its way to much money they would be losing not just the US or the world. So, this bankruptcy of the US WILL not happen in our life times. And that does matter. Why are we talking about something that may or may not happen in a very very long time...
