You are.

You should be.
There are a few angles in this argument.

First, the .gov can print itself out of the debt. This makes the Dollar worth nothing, but solves the "debt." equation.

Second, the debt is around $200K per working person (including those working at minimum wage jobs). Manageable for some, untenable for others.

Third, the workers and producers have already been outwitted and whatever wealth they accrue can be removed easily by targeted taxation (or some other form of wealth extraction program).

The reward is to the irresponsible.
