So we got an $8 trillion national debt. Big deal. 

 

I see you missed the unfunded $65.9 trillion fiscal-gap laying in commitments this government has signed us all and our children on to.

That my blind friend is a "Big deal.", and one that does not just go away by your choosing to ignore it.

No, everyone knows that. 

I just didn't want to ramble on with stuff like the treasury will tax those payments to the tune of $20 trillion, that the payments are due in 30 years so at 2.5% inflation they'll amount to $33 trillion, --not to mention the fact that our kids will be smart enough to scrap those stupid entitlements long before any of that stuff ever comes up.

Dang, you got me rambling again!
