2. Debate: "Should the U.S. federal government make reducing the national debt a fiscal priority?"

Today's fed "debt" is entirely different from household debt. Fed "debt" isn't borrowed, so isn't repayable.

The US tried paying down the so-called"debt" seven times in its entire history.

The first 6 times resulted in a depression (first image)

The seventh time (Clinton) resulted in a recession (2nd image)

Arguing the negative is Stephanie Kelton
