Same thing with the housing experts.

No one knows. If you had your way with policy AND IF the recession lasts another 3 years, debt service would go from 30% of total fed revenue now to 50% in 5 years.

At that point, the debt level would indeed become be inconsequential as you write because it it would be impossible to manage it and the dollar would be worth 50% of its' current diminished level.

At that time, the next fiscal debate would be how much of the debt should be monetized.

You are incredibly ignorant to think you can just keep spending more and more without there being consequence.
Riot believes in the government creating jobs with more government spending. Debt is no big deal. We need rail projects, more government spending to keep the economy going. The economy will never fix itself. We need to the government to fix it. We will let someone else worry about the debt problems we create today. It is the american way or at least was up until most people woke up a few years ago. Take money from the wealthy and create more government albeit temporary jobs.
