Tell me about the rate though.... and how those numbers have been cooked as of late..... The debt is mega important. Interest alone on that $17 trillion is staggering, and when you have fewer and fewer people contributing to that reduction, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out how it will be paid for. While I haven't heard the noise lately, I am still concerned about ROTH IRAs and 401ks. They are gonna have to means test everything. Even Paul Ryan has talked about that. If the Hildabeast gets elected, I am terrified what her pen will do..... Remember, you and I (and most everybody else on here) are in the top 5%.

Here's another comparison for you. I started smoking today, and I will quit this afternoon. Good for me, right?
