    It won't be long before interest on the debt dominates the discretionary budget.

    Actually most European nations are currently doing a better job of controlling their debt than the US is. Our debt to GDP ratio is higher than most.

    With the radical direction our congress is heading it's going to get worse and we all will eventually lose any wealth we have accumulated over our working life.
