Sort of like Europe at the present time. Basically bankrupt. You can

the cradle to grave socialism. In 20 years there will only be something

I don't think you can afford what your gov't is spending...
what was your deficit last year?
how much money does the US owe?

Not as much per capita as Europe, and it is the pensions and social costs
that have not yet come home to roost. As to overspending in the US, we have
been doing an exceptional job since Nixon left office. We did a pretty good
job before that, but after Nixon Congress got really good. And being a
fiscal conservative, I think it blows. Big time. And Congress with
campaign finance reform, made it nearly impossible to unseat an incumbent.
