Public debt is $4.8 trillion not $8.4 trillion.

Oh I see, you're obviously referring to what is officially 'on the books' not the true indebtedness.

The perennially plundered vaults that were supposed to hold our FICA deductions don't count in government debt calculations for some odd reason...

I wonder how the federales are gonna "pay" for the boomers retirement?

Is that the sound of printing presses being warmed up?

They do count, just not as "public" debt.

Logan's Run? Soylent Green?
