How deep is the hole?
• US federal debt – $8 trillion • UK government debt - £1 trillion
“When national debts have once accumulated to a certain degree, there is scarce, I believe, a single instance of their having been fairly and completely paid. The liberation of the public revenue if it has even been brought about at all, has always been brought about by a bankruptcy; sometimes by an avowed one but always by a real one, though frequently by a pretended payment.”
Adam Smith (the Wealth Nations 1776)
