Pay attention to the news even a little bit and you can figure that out. China has bought almost all of our debt with interest. We are so far into debt that we are having trouble selling China on the idea to buy more of it. We CANNOT write it off. You are clearly talking about things you do not understand. Obama wants to make more money to cover the pricetag of some of this stuff....well that is going to lead to insane inflation. Soon $100 will have the buying power of $50 if Obama's dream to double the money supply is realized. Obama is a good man, but he is spending way too much. It is incomprehensibly scary.
