Strange......in 2008, our debt soared with the depression and actions taken to get out of that.......in 2016, for whatever reason...tax cuts...we entered unchartered territory for debt.

Difference to me is, suddenly in the last few years, we decided that debt was good. Any sane conversations on this forum, where debt was raised as an issue, was dismissed.

We find ourselves in territory now that we must give help to fellow Americans and business’s and while we thought we had reached the ultimate in plateaus’s we will exceed even that.

In my opinion, we have spent the last years putting our economy in perilious waters.

To top it off, those with money get richer, and the income disparity is at all time highs.

All predicted but the journey out is fraught with serious hurdles, and will require cooperation within our society, which we Americans are not prepared to give.
