Exactly BB. The piper always gets paid, aka, ALL debts are paid. Either by the entity taking the loan or by the lender...but they’re all paid.
Look up the US national debt clock as you’re thinking about that fact. We’ve spent like drunken sailors over the last 18 years. Bush racked up a ton of debt after 9/11. Then Obama came in and spent more money than all presidents in history COMBINED...and no one knows what exactly he spent it on. Worse yet, they don’t seem to care. This will end badly.
