no matter. the bankruptcy of the USA is manifest destiny. The only question is how & when.

Most likely it will be when the baby boomers retire en masse, & the deficit balloons to 3 trillion/year & up. Someone will have to break the bad news to the boomers that they're not going to get everything they think they're entitled to.

All baby boomers should be thrown in jail when they turn 65, not given government checks. The way they bankrupted america is a crime.
