The national debt has become a looming sword of Damocles over our economy with potential catastrophic consequences when the bill comes due. We explore the only three possible outcomes: paying the debt (impossible), inflating our way out (leading to hyperinflation), or economic collapse—and propose a radical but viable alternative.

• The U.S. currently carries about $38 trillion in debt, more than any country has ever owed in history
• Politicians will likely choose inflation as the path of least resistance, but this historically leads to hyperinflation and societal collapse
• During economic crises, societies often turn to strong leadership, creating conditions for potential authoritarianism
• The ancient Roman model of Cincinnatus offers an alternative vision of leadership—solving problems then voluntarily relinquishing power
• Federal government owns approximately $400-500 trillion worth of land that could be strategically sold to address the debt crisis
• Selling federal lands would require careful implementation to prevent cronyism and ensure transparent, fair processes
• Private land ownership often results in better stewardship than government management
• This approach represents a pragmatic alternative to economic catastrophe
