Sorry, but I have to pick at this scab some more.

1. Will the National Debt EVER get any smaller? All I'm seeing is the rate of increase being SLIGHTLY slowed down. And by "slightly," I mean down from "really insanely large percentages annually" to "moderately insanely large percentages annually."
2. How come people actual buy into bonds? Giving up perfectly good money NOW in exchange for slightly more (but less valuable via inflation) money LATER?
3. How in the world did they get away with spending Social Security money for something OTHER than Social Security purposes? Sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
