"We are an aging country ..."

Which is why we should open up and allow more hard working, ambitious immigrants in. Then, we'll be covered. Xenophobic Japan with their debt levels are in much worse shape than us on that front.

I increased my debt (from zero) by 100K after I retired, by taking out a mortgage on my house... first time for this one, cuz I paid cash by taking a second on my first house. I used the money to put up a commercial building, which I sold a few months ago. Debt is OK for mature societies, just like mature people.
