1. It’s an election year, so we talk about the debt, despite no party’s appetite for doing anything about it. Nobody cares about the debt, the interest is paid to the people (mainly us citizens), so why care about it, especially now?

2. Pay Wall But it is absolutely doable. All we need to do is slow the spending GROWTH to less tha economic growth. If we slowed spending growth to 1% and grew the economy at 2% or better we could balance the budget and begin to pay down the debt without “cutting” spending and without increasing taxes.
