adding state and local debt as well would get US almost at 150% debt to GDP ratio by 2035, almost as high as Greece today( and given Greek debt keeps shrinking ,US is on track to become more indebted than Greece by 2030)
Greece had the luck of being bailed out by Germany, who’s gonna bail out US by then, Russia?( im saying this ironically, but many in the GOP would unironically say that)

I love that Trump is negatively polarizing Democrats to care about the national debt.
