the debt

If you had 34 trillion in debt and a centuries-long history of making on-time payments, you’d have a perfect credit score.

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don't feel like paying? If you can't answer "yes" to all these questions, you aren't the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

Two things:

if you owe the bank $34,000, it’s your problem; if you owe the bank $34,000,000,000,000, it’s the bank’s problem.
its a big club, and you’re not in it.

Worth pointing out that credit scores are completely detached from the government. They are entirely private industry, that is collecting and selling your financial info without your consent or opt in. If you were born before 2004, then they have also accidentally leaked literally all your personal info to the dark web, with literally 0 consequences.

-1000 social credit for questioning government

The US has a fantastic credit score. Being the world's reserve currency helps.

Micro-economics vs. macro-economics

Well, since the billionaire class doesn't pay it's fair share of the tax burden, that money has to come from somewhere.

On a serious note. Are there any countries without any national debt? Because if not then clearly capitalism is broken right?

have you considered printing your own money?

Countries can print money. If the debt is denominated in your own currency you will never not be able to pay them.

Credit scores are just some fake shit that boomers made up. It's so dumb.

Tell me you don’t understand how credit score works without telling me you don’t understand how credit score works

Credit scores require you to get some kind of debt. This is because it's not a score of your financial health. It's a score of how reliably you repay your debt.

Terry Pratchett's "Making Money" taught me enough economics to know that individual debt and national debt are two different things.

How much does the USA have in assets? I'm willing to bet more than $34,000,000,000,000.00.

I wonder how many debt collector calls the Whitehouse gets a day

Debt is not a problem, it's how you pay it off. Every country has a credit score as well. The higher the credit score for a country, the more money it can borrow. And if the country borrows too much, it gets down rated. Just like it happened with France recently, when they got down rated from AA to AA-.

The US can borrow shit loads because it has a very high credit score and it pays its bills without a hitch.

if it makes you feel any better you'd go to prison if you decided to run a ponzi scheme... unless you're a bank, that is

I heard that the us still has good credit because although it owes trillions, it is worth quadrillions (all lands and assets), so not really a concern

Whats really neat is that modern credit score systems are only 40-50 years old

putting people in debt is how people with already too much money make even more money from people who never had enough

The US also has a credit score but with other countries they do business.

You can make a profit off of debt. The United States is really good at it.

And it's rising at $1 trillion per 100 days in interest.

You're being 'Judged'? Like socially judged? Like a social credit system?

Or is someone using your own financial history to decide if they should loan you funds?

I wouldn't loan you a dime based off this meme alone, you clearly don't know how this system works, at least not well enough to explain your disdain for it.
