Money: Easy Come Easy Go
We are going to hit a 50-year high for debt as a percent of the
economy (GDP).
The eye-popping $9 trillion gross national debt is owed by the
"General Fund." That's the part funded by our income taxes. Half of
that goes for the military and to pay interest on the debt.
Fortunately two huge parts of the budget, Social Security and
Medicare, are running huge surpluses.

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every
man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be
proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole
earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship
consecrated to peace.
~Charles Sumner
