The National Debt is not a Real Debt it was created by an Illegal Institution know as the Federal Reserve not the American People. It's all about Total Control and Complete Power. You can not pay a Debt that is not real because it was created so that it can never be paid simply due to the Interest being applied. The only question is who are the Real Criminals , The Federal Reserve who actually created the Debt in the first place. Lock them up abolish the Debt.the great depression happened but it can't happen again just keep printing money until other countries real lies hay if the keep printing money then my money i have cant be worth the same. the dollar today compared to the dollar back then is only worth 4 cents and other countrie realize this and will stop selling goods for FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE saddam and gaddafi tried to sell their goods for the euro or the gold dinar. thats why we went to war with them.
