I agree that debt is the number one thing that will cause a depression. I don’t think it will end the world as we know it but do believe it will be much harder for individuals to provide for their families. If we were financially sound before this shutdown I don’t think it would be as big of a deal overall but with the existing debt and the runaway deficit happening now there is no way it won’t affect us. All any of us can do is get your own affairs in order to ride out whatever happens. Use the brief shortages we saw on things like meats and toilet paper to learn from.
