$1.6 Trillion over 10 years = $160 billion / year. With $16 Trillion in CURRENT debt it would take us 100 years to pay off the debt. Since we will be adding at least $1 trillion every year this will result in us only having $24 Trillion in debt by 2023 (assuming nothing else changes).
It’s just math...
At some point in the near future - damned sooner than you may think - a lot of people are going to figure out that almost no one in Washington, D.C ever had any intention of paying off our debt.
