Did you know the current national debt is over 18 trillion dollars? In case you’re wondering, that’s about 150 thousand dollars per taxpayer! How in the world is that sustainable? And what would it mean for us if the US had to default on such a staggering mountain of debt? And most importantly, how do we change this?
