So, you're saying in this scenario, people wouldn't want to work hard because it wouldn't change their individual grade, and don't want to help those who don't work hard?

....

Oh, did the subject change?

Yes.  bad_luck is telling us what a great time he's having with his friends at this very moment.

If this ever happens the higher our debt the worse off we will be.
This is not a very new thing and has been gaining more and more support globally as we continue to show we are dumbasses, who can't get our act together.

Damn.  I was hoping for an update on the great time he was having. 

I wonder if he's running up his credit card debt with no intention of paying it back...

"It's just debt".

I wonder if he's checking in but not posting because he knows I'm right.

He works out.  I wouldn't have thought so.

bad_luck: "Bah, it's just debt".

Exactly. We control our own currency. Debt doesn't really matter.

Debt matters.

It matters more than government spending.

Explain your reasoning

The government takes money out of the economy and puts it back with targeted programs.

The problem is that government bureaucracy wastes a large percentage off the top, so you never get as much as you took out of the economy.

Debt is important because of the intrest we pay and the lack of confidence it causes in our economy.
