Just exactly like the trillions the government spent, the extra $20,000 in debt Washington created for each of us, it makes it appear to suck slightly less this year, but we'll have to pay up in coming years.

I've always been an optimist, saying that every down cycle is followed by an up cycle, but I can't see any way out of the debt we've accrued in the least three years. I.sure don't have an extra $20,000 to pay back what the president put me on the hook for, do you? Certainly not my $20,000, the $20,000 for my retired mother, and $20,000 for the "poor" guy down the street. Is there any possible way we can pay back China $60,000 from each of us who are working and paying? I've never been scared for our country before but I don't see any way the math comes out other than we are fucked.
