I used to believe there were rules to the economy. No longer. The Government has learned that they can spent infinite money, build an infinite debt and pay for everything with infinite borrowed money.
Math wise the current debt can not actually be repaid. But it can grow to any number and interest on debt paid by making that number even higher. And just add any new spending in the mix keeping Corporations profitable.
Just pretend the National Debt is $500 Trillion instead of $30 something trillion. Just borrow as many trillions as needed to pay interest on the $500 trillion adding to the existing debt of $500 trillion. Repeat every year forever.
