Wikipedia defines common sense as "knowledge, judgement, and taste which is more or less universal and which is held more or less without reflection or argument"

Try to avoid using this topic to express niche or unpopular opinions (they're a dime a dozen) but instead consider provable intuitive facts.

They are more similar than they are different though. The numbers are bigger and the limits aren't known, but they do exist. Many countries have felt the pain of excessive debt, the arguments that it can't happen to the US are essentially that the US is a unicorn country.
