U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
I believe national debt has everything to do with Market. If the country was forced to balance it's budget in 2021 and Fed stopped printing money and buying debt I believe the market would tank, no crash. Our entire economy is now dependent on deficit spending, to say that is not propping up market is not logical. Our generation will never see bank CDs pay 4% again. IMHO
