Just something to think about
: However much you are paying in taxes, about one quarter of it goes to pay the interest on the national debt. And every single year we have a deficit budget, less and less of those taxes are going to bums without jobs, putting cops on the street, education, military, etc. and more and more of it is going to pay down, Not the actual debt, but just the interest on our debt.
I'd personally like to blame it on the baby boomers (of course they wouldn't accept responsibility for it

).
