I heard recently that the Fed is the only entity that will still purchase a 30 year treasure bill from the United States.
That is pretty frightening on several levels.

"Today's recipients of Social Security, along with their powerful AARP lobby, represent a powerful political force."
The AARP has leaned to the social and fiscal left for at least more than fifteen years (re. some of the newsletters during the early '90s). Most of the members are left-leaning women, and our Nation will most likely fail to be able to support them soon. IMO, it's time to families to plan to take care of their grandmothers without much government help. Our politicians, IMO, should also be looking more toward conservatism now, for the very near future.

Few politicians are willing to risk their careers alienating today's senior citizens for the benefit of Americans in 2040. After all what do today's seniors and politicians care about a 2040 calamity? They will be dead by then.

The National Debt is also a Ponzi scheme. Pay off matured debt by issuing more. How long can that last?

In 1940, there were 42 workers per retiree, in 1950 there were 16, today there are 3 and in 20 or 30 years there will be 2 or fewer workers per retiree.Old people need to start smoking. Seriously.
