Will the US ever pay back the national debt?

If not why?

What are the most realistic and viable solutions in your mind?

My solution:

If we can’t ever find a way to spend less than we take in without taxing people 50% or higher then I think we should find a way to negotiate with our debtors somehow to zero the debt through other means or we’ll have to eventually progress into a society without money somehow.
At which point do you think the US government will have to take extreme or drastic actions somehow? 50 trillion 100 trillion? Or will we just eventually accrue a 10^15 + dollar debt and keep on going.

No. They are never going to stop spending. Fiscally responsible is just a catch word to them. Its not something their suppose to do.

    It’s been done in the past. It is only a certain percentage of the GDP
