FReeper stig - "For example, at the turn of the new millennium, the national debt was $5.7 trillion.
By 2010 it had more than doubled to $13.5 trillion.
By 2020, it’ll be over $24 trillion."
"Facing up to the facts of an unpleasant reality can be painful.
It also implies a recognition that what one has been doing isn’t working.
And that the arduous task of righting one’s wrongs must be initiated forthright."
"Pursuing delusion, of course, is abundantly easier – for a time.
However, as the wreckage piles up from the past to the present,
the day of reckoning becomes much more ominous.
There really is no escaping it."
And yet, the incumbents keep voting to increase the national debt year after year.
From another posting(Brian Griffin ) - “If voting mattered, it would be illegal.” -George Carlin
Hat tip - metmom and stig !
If cash is going to become worthless then wouldn’t it be better to buy gold and silver today and later use that to pay off the debt in more worthless dollars?
