What Happens If the U.S. Pays Its $37 Trillion Debt?

What would it really mean if the United States paid off its $37 trillion national debt?

Get ready to uncover the hidden costs of a seemingly ideal solution, featuring insights from economists and policy analysts on the delicate balance of national finance.
