I am not sure what your point. My post was about providing context. Try to stay on point, if possible.

........Also, as ONE simple example of where government costs have increased is the problem caused by all the FIRES out west. 7 out of the last 8 years have had RECORD HEAT. Ask yourself, what CAUSED that? It is a problem that is basically being ignored at this time, but it won't go away - and it cost lives every year and it INCREASES costs to state and Federal governments. Killer hurricane IAN has cost and will cost Floridians and the
Federal government MANY billions of dollars. Also, homeowners insurance will rise and is now the highest in the US. That problem was ignored in the US and has not been worked on for the last 30 years. Europe has worked on that problem. Also, Europe and Australia have more efficient health care which allows their societies to be more work efficient and worry less - that leads to improved GNP which allows those countries to take IN more tax money which lowers their National debt.
These are just a few examples of how America could better CONTROL its national debt. And I have not even mentioned tax brackets and percentages.
