I owe you a million dollars, is it my problem? Yes, it is, you can sue me, you can take my home, my car, etc. I can go bankrupt, I will never see the light of the credit card again in 7 years, etc.

Who can sue US of A and send it to bankruptcy? Make it sell the 5th fleet to Iran to cover the portion of the debt? I'm not saying that 15 trillion debt is good or bad, I'm just saying that dividing it by population and coming up with a $50k figure is a propaganda. If I'm a US citizen and have $5k in credit card debt it doesn't mean that my debt is now $55K. These are two different debts.
