Or we let inflation eat away the debt, turkey style.

But for real I agree in general - where is the money going to come from? The interest on the debt and the federal receipts don’t work! I see the ratio (linked below) hitting 0.5 this decade.

What’s crazier is that % of GDP taxed according to the FRED is at historically normal levels dating back to 1950 - we’re not even at a point of low taxation relative to output.
