And 76% Disapprove of Congress - it is time to do something about it
Our economy is headed over the Fiscal Cliff; if you don’t get that yet, you haven't been reading my warnings. Here is a simplistic recap:
The Problem:
Current Interest-bearing Federal Debt: $32,000,000,000,000 - $32 Trillion dollars.
Total Federal Obligations at Sept. 30, 2022: $122,000,000,000,000 - $122 Trillion dollars (including unfunded obligations of social security and medicare).
Current annualized interest expense: $888,000,000,000 - $888 Billion dollars (annualized average of last 3 months data).
CBO projected interest-bearing debt in 2033: $51,000,000,000,000 - $51 Trillion dollars (If there are no new spending programs).
Estimated annual interest expense in 2033: $2,000,000,000,000 - $2 Trillion dollars.
This data comes from Federal government reports.
‘The Current Fiscal Path is Unsustainable’ - Quote from last Treasury Department Financial Report
Apparently many do get it. Only 30% of this country thinks we are headed in the right direction, and 76% disapprove of Congress.
But Complacency is killing the goose that laid the golden egg. See No Spin #80, Complacency, The Death Knell for America (link).
