Implosion approaches

We on the right have been trying to warn you for years. Finally a couple of days ago the Congressional Budget Office--a reliable arm of Democrats and big government--admitted what we've been saying:

on our government's current course, by 2050 the amount that government will have to pay just in interest on its debt will be more than ALL federal revenue.

Read that again. And then one more time--you know, for the children.

The combination of politicians who are both mathematically ignorant and would whore out their own daughters to win re-election, terminally stupid liberal Supreme Court justices who thought the Constitution was just another piece of paper, and a population whose main interest seems to be American Idol, have killed this once-thriving nation.

Of course I hear a lot of you thinking that we've got, what, 38 years before the point that interest payments exceed revenue?  That should be way more than enough time to turn things around.

Well you'd think so, but I'm pretty sure that short of violent revolution, it ain't gonna happen.

I'm confident about that because I'm a numbers guy. And we both know the federal gummint will never be fixed because we know modern politicians--most of whom seem to care more about continuing to get A-list invitations, money and getting re-elected.  If making the hard, painful cuts necessary to fix things would make them popular or ensure their continued re-election, they'd do it.

But in fact, making hard decisions will make them very unpopular with everyone on the Left.  So the pols will no more do what's necessary to fix things than they'd cut their wrists.

And the saddest part is, the implosion could have been avoided, if our politicians had just honored the limits to government prescribe in our Constitution.
