You will more often be attacked for what others think you believe than what you actually believe. Expect misrepresentation, misunderstanding, and projection as the modern normal default setting. ~ Quintus Curtius
It is the purpose of the Democrat Party at this point in history to establish a socialist revolution. It is the purpose of the Republican Party to pretend that they oppose this. All else is theatre.

There's an old saying "If the bank loans you $10k, they own you. If the bank loans you $10M, you own the bank."
As long as we have nukes and the baddest military on the planet, our debt doesn't matter because nobody can "collect" without mutually assured destruction (either militarily, economically or both).
Every major economy in the world depends on maintaining the status quo, even if a superpower "defaults" on their debt it'll never be known outside of a few people.
