@frivolousarguments8578 "both Democrats and Republicans engage in wars. Neither is innocent."; Agreed, but I believe it to be more Republican war mongers rather than Democrats.
"how is the government going to pay off $30 trillion???"; I believe it is never going to do so. Here is my current view concerning America's debt:
a. The 6th mass extinction event is already under way due to Earth's magnetism issues.
b. Rich people who have chosen to, and the US Government, the US Government doing it with tax payer's money, have been, and continue to, build safe underground bunkers and infrastructure to save themselves while the rest of their fellow citizens and fellow human beings would most probably suffer a horrible death on the surface of this Earth. Many of those bunkers are built to withstand even WW3, and they are not cheap.
c. During or immediately after the 6th mass extinction event does it's thing, those left will abolish the US Government, along with it's massive debt, and create a new Government, with a new improved Constitution, with zero debt, with new currency that they themselves are in charge of of course, and the remaining world's resources at their disposal. Great deal for them, not so much for the rest of humanity. And all in accordance with the Declaration Of Independence even.

Consider also, the US Fed has a target of 2% inflation every year. But that is also 2% on top of all the 2%'s that came before it, which turns out to be a lot of inflation over time.
Now first, if people's wages, benefits and even saving's account interest do not keep up with the true cost of inflation, they fall behind in buying power, and zero income is still zero income. But with economic inflation people would have a higher economic mountain to climb. They eventually could become economic slaves to the larger economy. And slavery was supposed to be done away with at least here in the USA. It seems it has been replaced by a system of 'economic slavery'. As America gets greater, a US Dollar should be able to buy more, not less.
Second, space travel, the ONLY thing that might save any species from this Earth, has gotten more expensive just in my lifetime. What is space travel going to cost in the next 100, 1000, 1 million years from now? Economic inflation just might be a contributing factor to the demise of all life from this planet Earth. And we did it to ourselves. Or more correctly the US Fed did it to us all, including themselves.
Instead of talk like doing away with the penny, they should actually be trying to bring back and maintain the value of the penny. And then have a target of 0% inflation annually. Otherwise, we all eventually die one day from something and go extinct, which is probably going to occur anyway, but without economic inflation, we would have a better chance of surviving. With economic inflation, less so.
What good is life if there is no entity left to live it? What good is money if there are no entities left to spend it?
Survive beyond this Earth, solar system and galaxy, OR die and go extinct. Those are the choices, (if we even actually have a choice). Currently, no exceptions.
* Everybody needs to become active in changing the US Fed's economic inflation policy.

@mr3817 Maybe because God does not actually exist except for just as a concept? I have yet to have anybody show me how 'b' is really true and that 'a' is not really true in this copy and paste from my files:
GOD DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST EXCEPT FOR AS A CONCEPT:
For those who claim God actually exists (besides as a concept), consider the following:
a. An actual eternally existent absolute somethingness truly existing.
b. An actual eternally existent absolute somethingness that has consciousness, memories and thoughts truly existing.
People who claim God actually and eternally exists basically are claiming that 'b' above is correct but yet simultaneously seem to be saying that 'a' is impossible to occur.
'a' above can exist without 'b' existing but 'b' cannot exist unless 'a' exists. Even per the scientific principal of Occam's razor, 'a' is more probable of being really true rather than 'b'.
I am one step away from proving God's existence, but am unable to find any actual evidence to do so. And nobody I've talked to seems to have any actual evidence of God's actual existence either. All humans appear to have are 'Theories of God'. Some humans appear to go their whole life basing their life upon their specific theory of God. They even at times kill other humans based upon their own theories. Many give their God human characteristics and cannot even prove the existence of their God much less the characteristics given to their God. Some have circumstantial arguments for a God's existence, but others have circumstantial arguments for no God existing. Not one has any actual factual evidence that their God actually factually even exists. Hence, at this time in the analysis, God does not actually exist except for as a concept created by humans for humans. Humans have personified Nature and called that personification "God". It appears many of them are delusional and are believing in fairy tales as if those fairy tales were really true. Instead of what is claimed "God creating man in God's image", it's more likely that "Man created God in Man's image".
Further consider that if the emotional parts of the brain override the logic and reasoning parts of the brain, people can be made to believe basically anything at all as being really true. Plus modern science has already proven that humans can have visual and audio hallucinations that are very real to that individual. All the more reason for critical thinking being needed and to follow the facts wherever those facts might lead.
In addition, while modern science does not know what consciousness actually is yet, memories and thoughts appear to require a physical correctly functioning brain to have those items occur. Where is God's brain? Where are God's memories stored at? How are God's memories stored and retrieved? How does God think even a single coherent thought?
If inside of this space time dimension we appear are existing in, then where?
If outside of this space time dimension we appear are existing in, then where is the interface between that dimension and this dimension? No such interface has been discovered as of yet as far as I am currently aware of.
* Note: Since this is a search for the real absolute truth concerning God, Intelligent Designer, Pre-existent Consciousness, etc, feel free to copy and paste this elsewhere to further the analysis and discussion.

@satguy While some believe that to be true, I have to be honest, I am not so sure that would be the best thing to do. Consider the following:
Backed currency system (backed by gold, silver, etc):
a. Okay, so much currency put into the economy that would have a certain value based upon how much backing and how much currency was in the system.
b. Population size grows, now what? Certain people don't get any money? More money printed but is worth less? Find some way to increase the amount of backing to that currency?
Backed currency system (backed by the reputation of the nation, not by gold, silver, etc):
a. Okay, so much currency put into the economy that would have a certain value, based upon whatever the nation says it's worth. (A nation by the way, of the people, by the people and for the people).
b. Population size grows. More money can be printed because the nation has more people in it, (the nation's resources grow that helps to back the currency), and if done in the proper quantities based upon the change in population, the value of the currency in the economy remains the same. And if a nation's population grows and/or the nation becomes greater, without adding any more currency into the system, or at least not an amount of currency that would maintain the value of that currency, then the nation's currency would be worth more, as it should be in my view.
c. As a nation becomes greater in this world, it's currency should be able to buy more, not less, or at least should not lose value. Here again, or so it seems to me.
