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

Yes, this debate is finally getting over with. It has been what like a week and a half. But it has been fun. So, I guess i should start now. You kept on saying SSI is going to dry up by 2033, and i already told you it won't. Just because the old deal will end by then, doesn't mean it will dry up the money nor will it end SSI. Nor will this cause a meltdown of the financial institution. I told you the government will renegotiate a new deal before then. And they always renegotiate a new deal 4 to 5 years before the old deals end. Another part like i said before SSI is a smaller part of the GDP, you also didn't provide any proof of how big SSI is on the GDP, I have. "In fiscal year 2016, the federal government spent $3.9 trillion, amounting to 21 percent of the nation"s gross domestic product (GDP). Of that $3.9 trillion, over $3.3 trillion was financed by federal revenues". (12.) https://www.cbpp.org... Only 24 percent of SSI actually go toward the budget, And like i said before you thinking SSI will fall out of money is flawed, it won't. The government will issue new deals, and new tax breaks, and do whatever it take to keep SSI up and running. "The treasury will then have to sell 50% more bonds to compensate for the loss". Again you are assuming, with no real proof to back it up. You think if the national debt will increase, it would turn out to be a financial crisis and thinking it would be the end of the US. When in fact, the world economy is interchain with the US, so the world would not let this happen. Another important part you keep on ignoring is the US print their own money. Yes the US is over 20 and a half trillion dollars in debt. But is this hurting the Economy? the answer is no... So, you say it will one-day lead to a total meltdown of the Economy. Again this is wrong. Why because the world would lay out their hand to help the US again. If the US get in trouble again, the US will simply buy out the banks again and will turn to other nationals to help. China and Japan are our biggest debt collected and yet haven't done or said anything. Why because they still get paid, The US is still the biggest economy in the world. And if or when the US slip to number two, it will still be a great economy. You also assume the US at their current pace of spending will not be able to pay off their debt. When in fact you have shown no evidence of this 20 trillion dollar debt or any higher amount would be hurting the US. Yes, I will agree with you on this part, the US will have another downturn in the economy because it can't stay up forever. But just like in the past the US will be able to rebound, and after some down years, then after some stable years then the US will be able to start thriving again. Another factor you still want to avoid is the when part, on why it so important. It important because you are trying to assume the future of the downfall of this economy. By saying overspending will hurt us within time. But how will it hurt us in this up and thriving economy? You say by taxes, or by the government not making any more money. But you are forgetting the US federal reserve print their own money and this will never stop. Even if the US is overspending, it will still very unlikely the US will go bankrupt over time. the US will repeat this process over and over, it has been doing this for over 70 years, and will continue for another 40 to 50 years. So, yes the WHEN part is important. You were making it look like the next financial crisis is coming soon, but when in fact it not even close on happening and differently not because of the national debt. The US has a lot of options if things start to look bad, it will not happen overnight. I will say you are right it does matter if the country goes bankrupt, but you were ignoring the facts it won't be trouble anytime soon or how other countries could help the US in time of crisis. Thank you for this.
