 The median house price is over $400,000 now. 

The United States adds over $70,000 of debt per second.

Every eight seconds, that’s another house.

 The third of a few points in chat gpt about US paying Debt. 🧐

Budget Surpluses: On rare occasions when the federal government runs a budget surplus (spends less than it collects in revenue), it can use the surplus funds to pay down some of its debt. However, these instances are infrequent. 

Will not borrow money to the US government. 😅
