Right, accept this one affects an entire country.

I want to yell that the emperor's naked, but I get the sense that society in general right now might respond: so?

The US debt has gone from $8T to $38T in the last 20 years and apparently it doesn't matter. Prices go up, taxes go up, but it's not like anything really broke...other than a recession or two. It's there were consequences for the people who decided to spend the money.

It can't go on forever, but how long can it go on?
