no end without economic collapse

There is only one way out--very substantial increases in productivity which makes the debt appear small.

If we are on the way to economic collapse the next step would be massive inflation as the government attempts to reduce the value of the debt.

Good point. I agree. My only fear is that the way this government is going, they will always spend more than they bring in. And you can only do that for so long.

But, I'm definitely with you. More prosperity is one half of the solution. Holding our officials accountable for their renegade spending is the other. And if that means voting them out of office (regardless of party) in '06 to send them a message, that's what we need to do.
