The US owes over $35 trillion in debt — so why hasn't it ever defaulted? In this video, we break down how sovereign currency really works, why the US government can't "run out" of dollars the way a household or business can, and what actually limits government spending (hint: it's not what you think).
We cover:
The difference between government debt and household debt
Why currency issuers like the US can't be forced into default (unlike Greece or Argentina)
The real limit on spending: inflation, not insolvency
Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) — what it claims and why it's controversial
The strongest counterarguments from mainstream economists
What this actually means for you and your money
This is one of the most misunderstood topics in economics — and understanding it changes how you read every headline about "national debt crisis."
