When a nation's debt exceeds its GDP, it leads to runaway inflation. A typical government's response is then to "print more money," making the currency of less value. We crossed that line and I see us becoming another Venezuela, where their currency is worthless and the people have to bring in large sums of currency to pay for simple things like a chicken or beef. End result, is that once the money is gone because of paying out exorbitant sums for what used to be easily affordable, you end up homeless and when food banks run short on food, you starve.
What do people that live in such nations do? They pack up and sneak over our border to seek a better life for their family.....but wait.....as we are now experiencing the beginning of what they had in their nations, they are fleeing to a nation that will be in the same situation that they left and they won't have solved anything.
