Two things to consider on the expanding debt- inflation and population growth. If we could calculate the debt in constant dollar terms and then determine a per capita number, graphed on a log chart- I bet the numbers would look quite different.

To me, this is grasping for straws. The debt numbers are already adjusted for these factors, and they remain ugly.

Am I to conclude we are all f*cked? Seems that was my impression when the CA energy crisis didn't find a timely solution.

This is Clown philosophy at its finest - "there was some bad news once, and the world kept on spinning, hence we should never worry about anything."
