Federal government debt as a percentage of the GDP (our national income) is not as alarming as people make us believe. Our economy produces $13 trillion worth of goods and services in a year. The debt equals 67% of the income, GDP.
It would be like a person makes $100,000 and has $67,000 in debt. Not that bad especially when you look at the other side of the national balance sheet. i.e., Our national assets.
The total value of US Corporations is about $17 trillion. The value of our infrastructure(roads, bridges,Electrical grid,airports,railroads,etc) has to be enormous. Add to that the public lands( public parks, national forests, etc.).
Private sector assets, Apartments, shopping centers, oil refineries, etc. Add natural resources, coal, oil, natural gas, iron ore, etc.
Anyway you see the point. It would be like parents who died with $300,000 mortgage but the house is worth $1 million. Sure their kids will have to pay the parents debt but do not dismiss the assets.
Our political system is prone to spending. The people in power need to bring home the bacon to get re elected. So our government promises goodies that we can't afford.
But all we have to do if decrease benefits. Decrease Social Security benefits to 75% of today's benefits and the un funded liability goes away. Same with Medicare. |

Actually, it is much more simple than you might imagine. The method that makes it so is call inflation. By inflating the currency, the debt is paid back in next to worthless currency. This method has been practiced by this government for about 50 years in earnest and will continue to be practiced for the foreseeable future. |

The answer is the same for YOU as an individual as it is for the Government as a whole.
Step 1. Quit spending money you don't have.
Step 2. Apply the difference between income and NECESSARY expenses to the debt. |

i am debt free, no, i only have mortgage until the next 3 years.
i always pay my credit card on time which i use for security and convenience (s.a. buy train ticket), but not for luxury.
what i worry is, if gov. cannot pay their debt, does that means that we, the citizen, must pay for them ?
i will always try to be debt free and have saving. it just feel really peaceful. |

Just sell California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas back to Mexico. Alaska back to Russia. Hawaii to Japan and Michigan to Canada.
Also sell the State Minnesota to Microsoft and the State of Washington to Wal-Mart. |

First of all, stop to no meaning war. If the US wants to get Iraq oil with good price, or get it free, there are different ways. No meaning war should stop. How many people were killed both side? Their lives are lighter than oil? You should check how much the US government spent/will spend for the war. |

Best way is to start buying products made in the USA. When you buy inported merchandise the money goes to another country and it's not coming back. Industry is what made this country financially strong many years ago. Now the free trade agreements with other countries and the lack of government control on the impor prices has done a lot of damage. It's truly sad that the last 4 presidents have all said that free trade was healthy for our economy. Things are going to get much worse as every government agency from national down to local continue to make adjustments to their budget with no relief in sight. |
