we think, we will spend our way out of it. there s less money coming in less in tax revenue, and we spend more. in the first four years of that presidents term, we added over a trillion dollars a year in debt. over president obama s two terms, we will add more debt than all the previous presidents combined. i think there is a threat that it could unwind rapidly. we can either have a gradual demise, you just lose your purchasing power. since 1913 we have lost 96% of our purchasing power. you can also have a rapid unraveling, and that is a panic. 2008 was close to a panic. i don t believe we have fundamentally fixed all of that. i think there is still the potential that our enormous debt, there could someday be sort of a, an instantaneous recognition that, you know what? something is wrong here. this is a country that is no longer producing like it did and has in debt. i hope the day doesn t,, but in order to defend that off, we need to bring into balance, and it is a sim ....
