#2What happens when the US needs to start paying off the trillions in debt? I remember the last time things were good. It stopped being good quite rapidly. I don't know much about monetary and economic policy but I'm optimistically cautious. I can't imagine the US borrowing several trillion dollars to keep credit from freezing again.

My understanding is that most US debt is held by US citizens or US organizations.

#9How is "all time high" income surprising, given that inflation essentially guarantees perpetually increasing dollar amounts of everything?

We pay off our debt constantly.
