Since the US exports terrorism and instability across the Global South, I support wholeheartedly a balanced budget aimed at eliminating most if not all debt because it would necessitate decreasing the military budget; having expressed that wishful statement, we all know that will never happen.

With my accelerationist viewpoint, the continued debt explosion could neuter American military intervention thousands of miles off its coasts in the endgame; but that would require some sort of collapse where I probably, an unwilling funder of the American military, would also suffer - but that is ok if it means stopping the killings abroad.

I think the debt explosion, assuming infinite and stable growth, is on purpose: it creates forever wars that we citizens have no say in. And as a result, the debt will continue to balloon forever.

I doubt it would lead to significant military cuts. Entitlements seem much more likely.

I agree with you. I doubt the killings will ever stop on behalf of U.S. citizens.
