Lincolns debt from the civil war amounts to $346,681,016 and hasn't had a single reduction on principle since 1878. Of course as any note that he printed states this debt is interest free and can not be applied to any interest payment.

The Trillions in debt that they discuss are the National debt. Not the Federal debt.

The Nation is a 14th amendment creation. It did not exist prior to 1868 and subject to the Rule Against Perpetuities. The creators had their lifetime plus 21 years 9 months allotted and anything that survives that period is a charitable trust.

I view the National debt as a donation to this charitable trust. People are very generous.

Every try to get money back from the Red Cross or Salvation Army?
