Most U.S. debt is borrowed from itself
Probably IMF? This is interesting.
Yeah I get ya, they just make more debt for the ledger line. man governance looks like a really involved science, I hope they get it right, they've got alot going for them but it's hard times for anyone but upper-class people (hard times is actually relevant to how good they've had it though) right now. People working 2 and 3 jobs (every waking hour) now to pay the debts they made when times were good doesn't sound like fun, like when you're ousted from your job and forced to get into another that just doesn't keep you in the green anymore
a7x: Yes that means they make more imaginary money, which then becomes real as part of a real system of taxes+services
