It only takes 29 monthly installments of just 120 billion dollars to pay it off.
Stocks have set record after record this year thanks in large part to the Federal Reserve’s massive efforts to prop up the economy and financial markets.... the economy has met one big milestone the central bank had set to slow the $120 billion in bond purchases it's making each month.
See? All paid before it's even spent.
We can easily have a 3.5 Trillion Dollar Budget

Tell me how that's relevant to the corrupt financial industry that takes all our money

Republican reification of fiat currency continues unabated! It's not your money, Fistula! It is not anybody's money! It's kind like Bitcoin, an artificial construct with temporary human entities assigned to its units. So we cannot "run out" of money, and all that can happen at the individual level is that everyone else decides to take you off the register, so you are not allowed to exchange goods and services any longer.

So the answer is "No". I suspect the corrupt financial industry is just not that relevant to your problems in the first place.

That's not an answer to the question. That's evasion by answering the question with another question.
The question has a very simple answer. One of these two words: Yes No
So which is it:
Yes - you have an IRA or other retirement account
No - you do not have any IRA or other retirement account

Still not an answer to the question.
Do you have an IRA or other retirement account?
The two possible answers are: Yes No

Still not an answer to the question.
Now, were the answer to be "no" you would have likely offered up the "no" without all the hassle, because that is an easy one to offer up, and it remains consistent with your posted world view.
So we have to assume then that the answer is "yes" and you are being obtuse because you don't want to admit you have an IRA or other retirement account.
And because you have one, you are also directly benefiting from all that "money" you claim is being funneled to wall-street and that you post against all the time.
So typical of a hypocrite, complain about something while also, behind the curtain, also benefiting from that same something you complain about. Retirement for me, but not for thee.
