What was said around it

although it can be if interest rates go up or the debt continues to grow higher and higher above our GDP however this type of debt is necessary to continue reinvesting back into the infrastructure of our economy and when you consider that the United States is operated on a debt since 1789 begin to realize that maybe it's not as bad as it seems but it's certainly something to keep an eye on and be aware of unless you don't mind paying more in taxes in the future to help fund all of this debt that we're accumulating now realistically I think this is probably gonna be the most likely situation that happens just interest rates go up taxes go up and we take home less money because sometimes what could be borrowed today does end up taking away from tomorrow so with that said you guys thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it as always if you guys enjoy videos like this make sure to destroy the like button subscribe button notification bell also feel free to add me on Instagram I post here pretty much daily so if you want to be a part of it there feel free to add me there as on my second channel the Graham Stefan show I post there every single day I'm not posting here so if you
