Yes, but what is it relative to the GNP, or the ability to pay it off?

There is no way we can pay it off Once California and New York go

All the federal (military included) retirements will be gone, and social
programs will be gone, and all that will remain is national defense via
conscription. Just like the old days before FDR.
