According to you.

If you do much reading, you will find a lot of financial people are
asking the same questions about how long we can continue the raise the
debt limit and how we will deal with the entitlements when they
explode in our face..

Huh?? Lots of financial people (aka economists) ask those questions. We
can't continue to raise it forever, but it's no where near an unusual
dept
to GDP crisis.

The end of the SS surplus is straight from the trustees report on
SSA.GOV,
The demographics of the number of baby boomers vs the following
generations who have to pay the bill is available from the census.
The amount of our debt that is held by foreigners is from the treasury
department.
The percentage of discretionary spending vs entitlements, out in the
future is from OMB.

You may disagree with how I connect the dots but the dots are fact.


Typically, dots are connected with some sort of logic.

The warnings are out there but sometimes you just have to let the baby
touch the stove.

See you in 2012


Come on... you're claiming that the world is going to end in 2012. Taint
happenin...

Perhaps you should vote for Ron Paul, assuming he's still in office.


The world isn't going to end in 2012, just the rising SS surplus. It
will peak and quickly decline to the point where FICA won't support
outlays in 2016. That is not my opinion. It is from SSA.GOV.

And then the end of the world, right?

Well, despite your ominous thoughts, we'll be just fine.

.
I do think Ron Paul is right on a lot of things but I can't vote for
him because he is in Texas. I did vote for the Libertarian pres
candidate in 92, 96, 00 and 04. In 08 I voted for Paris Hilton. She
had the best ad.

How did all that Libertarian voting work out for you?

It was a great ad.
