      The debt of the nations are the assets and income of the rich. They don’t want that to disappear. Not until they de-invested at least.

      Brother, those are treasuries. Nobody is trying to “pay back all the treasuries” except a dozen or so crank libertarianism obsessed with Free Banking.

      We’ve never missed a treasury payment in large part because we can’t miss a payment (unwillingly) when we print our own money.

      Anyone who claims we can’t pay back the National Debt is either ignorant or lying
