Tek, you are right, I did not take into account that part of the interest on the national debt that is being taken out. So let us try and see how much is taken out. I would say that no more than 10,000,000 retirees actually live off such interest and would also take $15,000 per year as the average interest taken out (that would mean about $300,000 each in fed money), tha come out to about $150,000,000 which still leaves more than $20 Billions in "shortages".

You say that the deficit is bigger than officially stated, and I agree. An honest question: Has this real deficit been declining in recent years along with the stated deficit?
