I feel like most people are desensitized to national debt and only use it as a means for a rhetorical goal

Debt shouldn’t be a blame game but a shared priority: the more debt, the less a country can invest in its own growth.

What’s your take on MMT’s claim that debt doesn’t really matter outside of spending’s effect on inflation?

How many major political parties in the US attempt to tie the debt ceiling to other issues and threaten to not increase it?

Do you have take Modern Monterey Theory (MMT) on it relates to the national debt.

Kathryn, I always enjoy your explanations. I try to imagine how amazing our country could be, if congress worked together to provide the best solution. I guess I am a dreamer.

This was kind of what I thought, but it really helps to have an expert spell it out so clearly and logically. Love your channel!

the interest payments represent money that can't be spent elsewhere. The fundamental problem is the military budget, it's obscene.

Why is it universally accepted that capital MUST receive interest or profit but Labor should not? The blood, sweat and toils of life's precious time spent is the only thing of true value.😊

This isn’t a both sides issue. Republicans are completely responsible for debt ceiling brinksmanship.

$892 billion is paid yearly on the interest on the national dept. How can you say that’s not a problem.

I remember years ago in intl pol econ being shown a formula where due to thr $ being reserve currency, we basically get paid to borrow from ourselves at almost no risk.. I can't find that formula now?

Very good post. Nicely done. Many of the people I know want the world to be explained in “one liners”. Like it was baseball. “Take the pitcher out after 6 innings” sort of thing.

I’m guessing you don’t want to get into partisan politics but it is worth noting that only the Republican Party has used the debt ceiling as a political tool to achieve aims that have nothing to do with our debt.

I really enjoy your analysis. Missed this one some how. Not to make this political but.. the Trump tax cuts into an expanding economy is silly debt spending.

What about the modern monetary theory approach? Our government will always be able to meet future obligations because it can never run out of money

This also isn't the full explanation of it, right? we saw our debt go up even when Clinton had a surplus, so it's not just overspending, right?

Annual debt service is the largest budget item, larger than defense spending. We are borrowing to pay interest.

Does the debt fight cycle impact other things as well, like the value of the dollar compared to other currencies?

We need a better functioning Congress could be its own entire Tok account. Or even one that functions at all. This one is the worst ever in terms of productivity, and we're all suffering for it.

We’re not making the best investment in our economy. The money the Pentagon can’t account for every year could fund universal childcare.

Why do we have to sell securities when we spend with a fiscal deficit? Could we just skip creating new debt in the form of securities if there is enough productive capacity to mitigate inflation?

if hypothetically the dem tax plan goes thru and they collect a billion dollars from the wealthy elite, would that actually do anything for our debt? does it make a difference?

The last balanced budget we had was under Bill Clinton. More people working, tax revenue up. The more $ we print the less it’s worth
