Our national debt is quickly approaching $40 trillion. If we don’t stop this, our credit will soon be further downgraded. It will trigger a currency crisis. There will come a point where we cannot inflate our way out of it. Over the past couple decades, dozens of countries with high debt have found themselves in that position, and we have come to rescue them. Who will help us?

None of the ideas I’ve outlined in the other sections will be possible if we don’t get our debt under control first. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you or does not understand the economy.
