As am I.  

 

Pundits on both mainstream sides of the aisle work overtime to avoid the obvious truth: the USA is facing mounting debt, and debt costs money, an increasing amount of it over time.  As interest costs increase, something else hasta go.  We can cut way back on social safety net stuff, but eventually more stuff hasta go, such as foreign military bases.  All of this assumes no singularity of course, which will rescue us from the debt.  By generating untold wealth or killing everybody but we must be prepared for the risk that the singularity will not happen in the next coupla years, and we survive without untold wealth.
