Just take this last item: In the last two years
we have accumulated national debt at a rate more
than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire
nation's history. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically
speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH
and a car rockets past you in the left lane. 27 times faster,
it would be doing 7,555 MPH!
