But isn't it a US tradition by now, that after some sabre rattling, just
increasing the debt ceiling? ;)

On a more serious note, why is it so difficult in the US to actually pay
off the debt? Is it political climate? Culture? A built in error in the
system?

Many people say, you cannot apply personal finance intuitions to public
finance, but I do not agree with that, and I do think it is an excellent
public policy not to accumulate debt.
