Raptorpat Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 It's inaccurate to compare the federal budget to a household budget; a household budget is built around the premise that the earner(s) will eventually retire/die and must settle all their debts in a finite period of time. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also major consequences for looming, out of control debts in both cases. For a household, it's loss of the house. For a government, it's the eventual inability to sustain itself, such as what happened to Ancient Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its currency became so devalued that soldiers didn't want to fight, farmers abandoned their fields, tradesmen stopped working... Everything turned into shit.
