National debt

What will our grandkids have to pay for interest on the national debt? Today we pay over $160 Billion a year. We’re paying it to foreign governments, wealthy foreigners, and the richest of Americans in their diversified portfolios. As we go from under $6 Trillion in debt to $8 Trillion and more, as the empire spreads its wings over all the globe, paying $250-300 Billion a year is not beyond our reach. Our country could go from spending 7% on debt to 10% even 15%. These kinds of expenditures will cripple if not destroy the future of all Americans, except for the top 3% whose future is rosy no matter what happens.

Our country can never get out of debt with elected officials ear-marking projects to reward wealthy contributors back home, accepting huge sums from corporations that want laws to provide easy access to public money and monopoly pricing advantages, and the ever present shoveling of income to foreign citizens at the expense of once-employed Americans. This selling of America is being done on such a scale that our grandkids will be lucky to have pot or anything else to pee in.

Treason used to carry the penalty of death. Let’s bring back the good old days, when betraying a country was a dangerous thing to do.
