I'm generally on the "money isn't real and debt is just one of a myriad of excuses that dems use to not do something," but even in marxist economics, "national debt" isn't able to increase forever without collapsing the monetary system. I don't know the full effects of that occurring, but I'm sure that the people benefiting from it right now, will be the least affected by the monetary system collapsing.
