Empty shelves in stores, inflation highest in 40 years, energy prices so high that some people worry about heating their homes and people would rather stay at home on the dole or unemployment than work. Let's go Brandon.

What is the relationship between the economy and government debt?
Bullshit. What does the US government debt represent? Be specific.Ask the countries working to undermine the dollar. It is going to happen. The rest of the world isn't going to allow us to print, print, print while they struggle forever.

Wrong. It is clear by your “30 trillion in debt” comment you are misinformed about what government debt signifies. Don’t push right-wing propaganda.It represents our ability to do things other countries can not. It's not going to last forever because we abuse that.

There is no “addressing” government debt. That is right-wing propaganda to promote austerity. Tell us when the $30 trillion debt is due.Bite me. Nothing I said is "right wing". Nothing I said is wrong either.
China is undermining the dollar’s global role - OMFIF
Democrats promised to make the rich pay their fair share. Why are they not to address the debt?
I don't know. I really don't. GDP will probably turn out to be over $20 Trillion Dollar$ this year with tax revenue of $3.86 trillion Dollars. I know there is a difference, but I can't help but remember my house put me in debt for over twice my annual income and I had a 30-year payment schedule. $30 Trillion is approx. 1.3 times the average size of annual GDP, and about 10 times annual tax revenue. I certainly did not have to do a 10-year repayment plan, but neither do we, and I don't think the size of the debt takes in, the interest on the debt. I was always able to manage my debt, because I controlled my spending. I probably would not be debt free, if I had my income (though usually increasing), but let somebody else control my spending. I made "A" in economics (and managerial finance for that matter), but did not go far enough with it to be able to properly calculate any analytics on economy of this scale, as there are just too damn many variables for me to account for. The thing that worries me most, it that possibly the people who supposedly went far enough, still could just be frigging wrong. Kind of like me making a deal, acting confident, as part of getting the best deal, signing, shaking hands, but walking away, really thinking "boy, I hope this shit works to plan, or I'm severely fucked", only this time, I have very little input on making the plan work.We can't.

It is a cultural shift.The national media could sure as hell be doing a better job of explaining the driving forces behind this inflation (exploding demand and damaged supply), but they may think that it's too complicated to fit into short news stories. Obviously the MAGA media is going to just simplistically blame Biden to support its political agenda.
I have seen stories on this unexpected phenomenon of people just not going back to work even when their benefits stop, and we should be examining that more carefully. That's a fascinating societal/cultural issue.
But outside of that, the numbers look damn good, and the rest of the world hopes it can catch up. The media sure could point that out.

Trump is correct. Funny how the truth about debt comes out when a Republican is president. Under Democrats, national debt is suddenly a problem.When the dollar gets knocked down and we become Venezuela. You do understand it was Trump that said that debt doesn't matter?

Then you’ve condemned economic growth for years.I've condemned it for years. It's not going to last forever because we abuse it.

The government shutdown the economy last year, then added $4 trillion in spending, this would have happened no matter who was in office.The U.S. economy is expanding at a 7% rate over the last three months, up by 5% from the beginning of the year. That number isn’t just three times the expected growth rate in Europe, it almost doubles the rate of growth in China.
Rolling into the holiday season, America is enjoyingrecord low levels of unemployment and levels of economic growth that exceed the wildest unfulfilled promises of Donald Trump. But at the same time, CNN reports that President Biden’s approval levels for handling the economy are at record lows. The best economy in 50 years enjoys just a 44% approval rating.
Because a disaster-addicted media will find disaster, even if it has to create it.

Best economy in 50 years, and in the winter during a pandemic. What will it be like next year?

The alternative you advocate for is economically catastrophic.In the way we did it? Absolutely.
It is quite a bit like a pyramid scheme. I do know that a lot of people have made a lot of profit on pyramid schemes, until they failed at a given point of history, echoing Soros theories on reflexivity, like the panic and financial crash of 08-09.GDP includes the billions and billions we simply print. Can you not see what is happening because of that?
