"a national debt that is already 8.5 trillion could reach $46 trillion or more, adjusted for inflation. That's almost as much as the total net worth of every person in America"
Would you please read that statement over a few times and look for a fatal flaw in the logic....give up? You are comparing against an unknown wealth level at that future time. There is no way you can predict the total wealth in a future decades away. Every previous attempt has been a failure. If the wealth level is high enough, all of the problems cited become solvable.

Don't be silly. Everyone knows that there's only one big pile of money. And the likes of Bill Gates and other greedy bastards have taken more than their share, leaving hoards of poor in their wake.
