If it was zero, then there would be no bond market. That would essentially stop the govt from being able to borrow money… for anything.

“no perfect debt number” so the government can debt with impunity with no consequence? Obviously not. 1 trillion is being given to creditors from the taxpayers and that’s apparently no concern to these “economists”.

This kind of thinking led the Democrats/Biden to run up the debt and CAUSED 9% INFLATION. Good economists would say 3% of GDP, Biden ran it up is 7-9% and kept it there long after Covid. DISASTROUS.

When the debt service requires so much from the current budget that the government is impaired from delivering programs or services, then it's too much debt.

the United States has a value, it doesn't matter what is worth nobody can afford to buy it, we sell some bonds in lieu of selling the United States, and there is interest on what we borrow, if that interest is more than what we can afford to pay with 2 percent inflation , it's too much debt

Clinton had a budget surplus and a path that would of had all US debt eliminated but Republicans just had to give tax breaks to their corporate donors and billionaire buddies

If the country spent all of its money on “getting out of debt”, every other service the country provides to its people would cease to exist

Aren’t we paying interest on our debt ? If we are , like personal debt like my credit cards, then if it’s excessive it bad. Any monies spent on interest could be used on other NEEDED things

Could you do a podcast on the contract with America- balanced budget debate and the 2001 tax cuts and bubble tech bubble- all of which preceded 9/11 and the decades long war economy?

Only the interest payments are relevant. There’s no limit to the amount of debt if the interest payments are reasonable.

I like to explain it like this the US debt is a drug because of the 2% inflation rate peoples holding in US dollars are constantly going down. They keep having to come back for more money. It’s a win-win.

There’s no number because it’s not debt. It’s another form of US dollar that happens to pay interest.
